and all you have to do is open your favorite burning program, create a new data disk, drag your divx avi files over and burn

As dt said, there are some DVD players which can play divx movies easily. Just burn them to a DVD and you'll be fine.
For those who don't have one then a program like ConvertXtoDVD can help you. But five movies to a DVD? Depends if you like shitty quality.
It's up to you.

most of DVD rips on the net are between 800mb, and those have a nice quality... you can easily put 5 of them on a blank DVDR

A 700MB Film ripped from a DVD is usually perfect quality and I've never experienced any great loss i nquality. I suppose it's all down to what your capable of watching without getting annoyed.

H.264 AVC MP4's can create perfect DVD quality video at about 300MB per film

A dual-layer DVD is designed to hold 2 (SHQ) - 4 (HQ) - 6 (MQ) hours of video, but you can play about with compression and get it higher. However, after 6 or so hours the resolution needs dropped to around 376x252, which is crappy, especially if you have an HDTV.
(Nero Vision Express will do all this for you, but it's slow and can cause lag and stuff if you don't have the perfect codecs install).

ive found that nero isnt good with sound.... i put sum videos on disc and everything was out, on all 6 discs... GR!

quote:DVD-Video is compressed, using mpeg-2 codecs. Mpeg-4 codecs like Xvid and DivX can compress video to the same quality as mpeg-2 with about one-quarter of the bitrate (meaning you can fit about four times as much stuff on the same 4.3 GiB disk)

Depends on how shit quality you will tolerate. Multi-in-one DVDs are low quality, if done well they do not show lots blocking but still lack a lot of detail.
