You dont say what format the AVI files are .
What do you want the files on DVD for to store or use as a TV/DVD player .
I have hundreds of AVI files in DivX format stored on DVD discs As opposed to one movie per disc .

Use DVD Flick if you are trying a create a disc playable on a standard DVD player.
Is that what you are trying to do?
Untick the option to install Yahoo or ASK Toolbars.
Here is a link to the suggestion above mine. Again, be careful not to install any Toolbars.
Go with DVD Flick in the first instance.0 -

If you want to watch .avi films on tv then as an alternative you could buy a media player for as little as £20 (eg Sumvision Cyclone) and watch them via a flash drive or portable hard drive. That would save you having to convert them and burn them.0

Get a DVD player that plays Divx/Xvid files. Cost about £30 in Asda/Argos etc. then just burn the avi files to disc and away you go.Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those affected (Benjamin Franklin) JFT96...YNWA0
