I want to convert an .avi video of a little movie i did and I would like to convert it so it will burn to a dvd (using handbreak or soemthing) - whats the best way to go about this?

I use Toast 7 for that sort of thing.

Not sure if there is a free alternative.

Not too sure about this...

But couldn't iDVD do this (maybe i.c.w. iMovie) if you have the right Codecs for QuickTime...?
Get the DivX Codecs and give it a shot.

Mpeg Streamclip might work for you:

I use it to demux DVDs and convert them to editable quicktime files for clients that recorded to set top DVD recorders or DVD camcorders.

I haven't used it to convert .avi files, to mpeg2, I use compressor, but it should work.

This may work for you, not free but I find it to be very good value at $23.32:
