Not really...
Problem is, MPEG-2 and AC3 encoder patents cost money to license. So that "free" Apple program really isn't. And any free, easy to use utility will get hit up for protection money.
That said:
If you have Windows XP Media Center Edition or one of the prem-o versions of Vista, DVD encoding should be built in.
Reasonably current versions of the Nero Burning Rom suite should have DVD burning somewhere between "everything" and "the kitchen sink".
You can use a fairly wretched and unusable chain of free utilities to cobble something functional together. (see www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/avi2dvdr.htm; I think HC and QEnc are the free encoders)
