Can I burn avi and mpeg files to a DVD without converting?

Question

I have a bunch of movies I want to put on a DVD so I can give to someone. They don't want to be able to play it on a DVD player I just want to use a DVD because it has more space than CDs. If all I want to do is put an avi file onto a DVD to transfer it to another computer do I still need to convert the files to DVD format or can I simply burn them how they are? Is there a free DVD burner software that could do that?
