Normally you can't burn it directly, unless you have a set top dvd
player that understands that format. If so, you can just copy it onto
a dvd like any other normal file system, using brasero or k3b.

If you want to take the avi and turn it into a playable dvd, then you
need mjpegtools, devede or tovid, or maybe mencoder or transcode to do
the file conversion to a dvd compliant mpeg. Then you can use
dvdauthor to make the dvd, or put on optional buttons, menus, that
sort of thing.
