Output mpeg3 (Xvid?) to DV? What about DVD? Codec Hell

A co-worker missed an episode of Lost - the first one and they won't
reply it for a long, long time. So I downloadedit. When I play the
downloaded AVI video on Linux it says its mpeg3, then Windows IDs the
video as type xvid. I downloaded the xvid codec and all I see are
random vertical lines on Windows - but on Linux its fine. I tried
burning it to DVD and the video quality ended up all jerky, as if the
frame rate was low. My Canon ZR-85 has video input capabilities, via
the Firewire port. I've done it before using DVIO.exe and Windows
Movie Maker. I tried using Windows Movie Maker but it crashes. Big
surprise -I know. DVIO only takes files of type raw AVI. I can't
convert because Virtualdub will not open the xvid file.
What can I use to convert this file to raw AVI? I know it would take
alot of space but I have ample room on the drive.
Any other suggestions on either getting this thing to tape, or DVD on a
somewhat respectable form? I was going to record the video camera's
tape to my VHS VCR and let the guy have it that way. He's not that
sophisticated so I dunno.
On another note, I wish people would stop using these alien codecs.
This is worse than dependency hell onLinux. Codec hell.
