I was just recently fiddling with this myself and I've had success
using a package called DeVeDe. It's in the repositories. I've been
using it to burn TV episodes in AVI format into one DVD for easier
viewing. It steps you through the process of adding the files,
converting them to the proper format and then creating an ISO file
that can be burned directly.

The options are basic, but it does the job. There's one bug I filed
[1] in which a needed package isn't marked as a dependency, but that's
easy enough to work around (just install the package).

Hope that helps.
