Hi Sammy,
A quick search on sourceforge.net came up with avi2vcd:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/avi2vcd/
A BASH script which runs a couple of other tools:

transcode
http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~ostreich/transcode/
Depending on how your avi files are encoded you'll need the required 
import modules installed (i.e. MPEG- 4 for xvid)

and the GNU VCDImager:
http://www.gnu.org/software/vcdimager/vcdimager.html
Which creates bin and cue file(s) ready for burning to cd(s)

I've not used any of these tools but I'll soon give them a go myself...

Hope this helps.

Merry Christmas,

Andy.
