There are a number of dvd players that now come with the complete divx
decode (updateable) set and can browse a cd/dvd for avi files. So burning to
a DVD is not going to be about authoring a DVD (12+ hours) and more about
burning a bunch of avi's to disc and letting the player sort it out

EG: Kiss DP-1000-SFF DivX DVD Player

  Here's a question a friend asked me the other day, maybe someone on this
  list has some ideas about it.

  There is a lot of hub-bub about people downloading movies and burning
  them down to DVDs. The idea that this practice could become widespread
  like downloading MP3s is doesn't seem logical, because the time it takes
  to actually download and burn a DVD movie is so long (greater than 1
  day) most people would not bother. Additionally, the quality of the
  movie you download varies so widely, many people would become frustrated
  and give up on the process entirely before it could become a real
  problem.

  Given a high-speed connection (up to a T1) and a high capacity server at
  the other end, how fast could you download a movie and burn it onto a
  DVD?
