The subject says it all. Looking for a method/program to convert dual audio AVIs to MPGs that I can burn to DVD. I would prefer an all-in-one method (I currently use tovid to convert single audio AVIs to MPGs), but I'd be willing to do it a "long way".
I'm thinking that I need to demux (avidemux perhaps?) then convert the M2V file to MPG and mux in the audio tracks, but I'm not too sure how to do this.

I dont know if this here (http://videotrans.sourceforge.net/) does dual-audio but it does everything else needed. I use regularly to convert small clips - its nicely automated and hasnt failed me yet. I have no dual-audio stuff here else I'd test it.

@gowerpolis
tovid (http://tovid.org) converts dual audios AVIs without any issue. ;)

Thanks danpos, you're right! I could have sworn that I had checked if tovid handled multiple audio tracks, but either I didn't or they've changed it since then. Handling multiple audio tracks was quite easy. Here was the command line I used:
tovid-batch -quality 8 -audiotrack 1,2 -infiles ep1.avi ep2.avi ep3.avi
