I use dvd-author - I think its in livna - to create DVD's from avi etc. The box I do it on is dead at the moment, so I can't verify the name exactly. The process is a little hairy - I have a shell script that does most of it for me, again on my dead machine :( For playing DVD's - I use totem with some plugins that are not currently available from livna, but should hopefully be available soon. You can however play them with mplayer/ogle/xine which are in rpm.livna.org repositories.
