Will this work? Or do I need another program?

depends on which program you use and if your dvd player can read it. a lot of players dont have the mp3 reader and it will not work. if yours does it should.

Most likely not, but possible.
Generally speaking, you need to burn a DVD in a DVD format, which consists of several movies files with IFO and VOB file extensions. They are encoded in an MPEG format (mpg)
About 5-10% of DVD players out there support an AVI format known as Divx. The Divx logo would be imprinted on the front of your DVD player, if it supported. If you do have one of these DVD players and your AVI file is encoded in Divx format, then you can burn the file on a DVD or CD and it will read it.
If you want to watch an AVI file on your TV, your best bet is to connect a computer via composite or s-video to your TV. You have to jump through too many checks and technical hoops to get an AVI to work on a DVD player, whether it be Divx or a normal DVD player.

Possibly, but very unlikely. The vast majority of standalone dvd players do not support .avi file type. You should read the user manual and see if your player supports it. The vast majority of standalone dvd players only play MPEG-2, which is the format used on dvd movies you would find at your local Blockbuster or Netflix. Some dvd players can play other formats like video CD's, DivX and .avi but they are uncommon and you have to specifically look for one. There is a solution but it will cost you. You need video editing software which can convert .avi files to files which can be recorded on a blank DVD and played on your standalone dvd player. I recommend ConvertXtoDVD; it costs approximately $39.99 USD. You can also try Nero or Roxio but they both cost approximately $89.99. Below. I have included a description for ConvertXtoDVD. There is a free version but it is adware. The free version adds a watermark to the background of the movie.
Publisher's Description:
ConvertXtoDVD is a software to convert and burn your videos to DVD. In only a few clicks you can backup your movies to DVD playable on any home DVD player. It supports the most popular formats such as Xvid, MOV, VOB, Mpeg, Mpeg4, MP4, AVI, WMV, DV and stream formats. It converts your files into a compliant DVD Video set of files and burns it on a DVD media. The aspect ratio can be automatically selected or forced to a specific format. The program works for NTSC and PAL video formats and creates chapters automatically. Multiple audio tracks are supported.

You need another program like Nero or Roxio, if you're using a MAC and have iMovie you could use that. But if your DVD player supports DivX playback maybe it would play, though I doubt that your player supports it 'coz those kinds of players aren't really that common but if you got cash to bust for one then I'd recommend buying one 'coz you could save up on discs having to burn at least 7 movies on a standard DVD.

I doubt it. The recording must be in DVD format.
Just like an MP3 file won't play on a CD player unless it specifically states that it can play them. A DVD player will not play MPG or AVI unless it states that it can.

Probably not...You are going to have to get a converter program and convert the avi to vob or ifo format.
Go to cucusoft.com
Sometimes they offer a free download, and the converter is easy to use..Most will convert and burn all in one program.
