I had the same issues a while back and here's a great link I found, it's
from the Gentoo Wiki, but it's a really good doc on the guts of DVD
authoring.

I've also used DVDAuthor to build a fairly simply Menu for the DVDs and
to transcode them to ISOs as well.
In addition to the previous suggestions, let me introduce you to
Videotrans:
http://videotrans.sourceforge.net/
Videotrans is similar to Tovid (with no GUI, though), but, up to my
best knowledge, Videotrans performs better regarding sound, as the
sound of VOB files produced by Tovid have a volume significantly lower
than the original AVI file.

Thanks to all. I'll review these suggestions and see which one best
suits what I'm looking for. Thanks for all the suggestions!
