Thanks, Peter and Bob. Tovid seems to be good and simple. Another set
of scripts quite good and simple for the same job is videotrans:

http://videotrans.sourceforge.net/

«videotrans is a set of scripts that allow its user to reformat
existing movies into the VOB format that is used on DVDs.

Furthermore, videotrans supplies programs which allow its user to
create a complete DVD, including selection menus which allow the
viewer to choose which movie he/she wants to see, if more than one
movie fits onto a DVD.»
