turn a video into a DVD

[Infinisearch]

Is there any good preferably free software that will automatically take a video file and burn a playable DVD for me? I have some avi and mp4 files i'd like to watch on my TV. I don't want to have to fiddle with video converter settings and preferably have an option to skip making a menu.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure this out recently too and AVS2DVD is the best free option I've found.

Thanks alot for that swaaye, I'll try it right away. By chance have you tried http://www.trustfm.net/divx/SoftwareAvi2Dvd.php? I just came across it in a lifehacker article, figured I'd ask before trying.

Thanks again swaaye it worked for 1 out of 2 movies by default and the one that failed I just changed a quick setting and it worked like a charm.
