However, you can always rely on alien for rescure:
This is how I installed on my Debian:
download rpm from http://sourceforge.net/projects/tovid
$ fakeroot alien tovid-0.21-1.i386.rpm tovid_0.21-2_i386.deb generated
$ sudo dpkg -i tovid_0.21-2_i386.deb (Reading database ... 101480 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking tovid (from ...tovid_0.21-2_i386.deb) ... Setting up tovid (0.21-2) ...
That's it. You are about to rock'n roll.

Here's what I used to (successfully) create a dvd:
tovid -in <input file> -out <output prefix> makexml <mpeg file> <xml prefix> dvdauthor -o <directory> -x <xml file>
Example:
tovid -in shrek.avi -out shrek makexml shrek.mpg shrek dvdauthor -o shrek -x shrek.xml
This should leave you with a directory called shrek in which the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS directories can be found, and which can be burned directly from K3B, and some intermediate files that you can delete when you feel like it.

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and the solution was there all the time. After using 'tovid' to convert the file to an .mpg, …, I ran:
>makexml *.mpg name-of-directory
Next I ran dvdauthor:
>dvdauthor -x *.xml
This created the subdirectories containing all the goodies - /audio_ts /video_ts The rest I used 'mkisofs -dvd-video -udf -o dvd.iso [name of directory containing audio and video_ts]' then finally
'growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=dvd.iso'

You can also use 'dvdauthor -o dir_name …' to provide your own output directory name.
