How do i burn an AVI file on to a dvd so that i can watch it in my normal dvd player?

Question

I have tried to do this using Nero but it just wont play on my normal dvd player, can anybody help?

Answer 1

you can transfer it over to work on a stand alone DVD player useing the program Pinnacle Studios and then you can actually make menus and stuff useing Roxie Burning.

Answer 2

if you have a good cd burning software it should burn the AVI file in the SVCD or VCD section of your burning software.

Try burning it as a SVCD project or VCD project onto a normal CD-R
then that will play in your dvd player

Answer 3

I agree with Jeff.

Burning a avi to a DVD without encoding it first won't work.

VCD is your best bet.
