HCEnc is an open source MPEG2 encoder that has very good quality - it can take your avi file and encode it to a DVD compliant mpeg file.

After this, you only need an authoring program to create the menus for it if you want - you don't have to though - Nero Burning ROM I think will create a playable video DVD if you give him just the mpeg file you encoded with HCEnc. Otherwise, you could probably use TMPGEnc Authoring Works, the trial version will work for about 14 days and other than a watermark in the menus it will work just fine: http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/taw4.html

But anyway, if you've cropped and edited to a 128 GB file, so that's the final version that's going to be encoded to DVD, you could use x264 directly without AVISynth and scripts. If you want try to encode a part of the video and see if you like the result.Copy x264.exe from http://x264.nl into the same folder with your video, open a command prompt and type :

x264.exe --pass 1 --frames 15000 --tune film --preset slower --bitrate 4096 --output video.mkv video.avi
x264.exe --pass 2 --frames 15000 --tune film --preset slower --bitrate 4096 --output video.mkv video.avi

the frames parameter will tell the encoder to process just the first 15000 frames, which for a 25fps movie is about 10 minutes.
