The support for avi files is WINFF as it is the front end for mencoder 
that I use and works very well

If you need to play these an a Stanalone DVD player then yes you need 
avi files
Kdenlive is another media type program that does more than just 
conversion but the one I use is Avidemux. It is a bit complex but 
extremely powerful.

The easiest to use is Handbrake but avi support is nil even though it 
says it handles them

The need for standalone players to support MKV x264 is needed and they 
are out there but expensive
h264 in the mkv container is the best format yet

Oh for my old win software Dvdfab platinum but getting it to run 
correctly through wine leaves something to be desired
