Unless your DVD player is equipped to play DivX or Xvid files then burning an AVI to a DVD will not work. The AVI file needs to be converted to DVD format to enable the player to read it. If you have an Xbox 360 or a PS3 then these should play the AVI files directly, otherwise you will need to convert the AVI with software. Have a look at www.videohelp.com for guidance and software tools.

If you do decide you need AVI on a DVD -- then the .avi files should be burnt as a DATA disk -- which as said above will play on any DIVX/XVID capable players -- Dave0
