Question

can you play avi. file on regular dvd player ? or only vob. file will work ??

Answer 1

It all depends. AVI is a file container that supports multiple codecs (MPEG, DivX, DV, etc.).

If you have a DVD player that claims it can play Divx files, then it can probably play .AVI files as long as they use the Divx codec.
Most players these days will play Divx files even though they may not advertise it.
