As you have guessed, it will indeed lower the quality. Your AVI files have already been reduced in quality from the original source, since they will have been compressed with a lossy video codec such as DivX or XviD. Transcoding them to MPEG-2, which is required in order to make a video DVD, will only further lower the quality.
All that said, the process will work, if you use a program such as NeroVision Express to convert your files, but you will be left with an ugly picture full of macroblocking and other artifacts. I'd be far more inclined to use a computer with a graphics card that has a TV-Out connection, or better still, a modded xbox. That way you get the best quality possible picture from the files you have.
I went with a modded xbox. It's not too expensive, and it's an amazing piece of kit. It never fails to play any video files that I've attempted to use with it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
