Your question is far too vague to give specific answers... but I'll try 
anyway.

By 'avi', I'm going to assume that you have some divx movies.  Do you 
have a divx capable dvd player?  If so, then you can use k3b to burn 
those .avi files to a CD as if it was a normal data cd and the player 
will pick them up.

Do you not have a divx capable dvd player?  In that case, you'll need to 
convert the divx to something else.  If you only have CDs, then we're 
talking about VCD or SVCD.  Use ffmpeg to convert to the right codec 
(mpeg1 for VCD, mpeg2 for SVCD) and then burn it to the CD with k3b 
("New Video Project").

Do you have a DVD burner?  In that case, you can convert your divx to 
dvd-quality mpeg2 using ffmpeg (or similar) and burn it to the DVD using 
k3b (also as a video project).

If none of those are close to what you are looking for, then you'll have 
to be way more specific.
