U can use Nero free or imgburn, but I would go with imgburn. Then just burn the avi file as a data disc. However u will need a dvd player capable of playing this format. If u want u could also use convertxtodvd to convert the movie to dvd format so it will play in all dvd players, but that would take some time to convert & burn. All 3 programs can be found through google.

you can check couple of guides from videohelp.com
or search in google -->>convert avi to dvd site:videohelp.com
I like dvdflick guide as dvdflick is a freeware version, on the other hand convertx is a commercial version.
anyway you can look into videohelp.com for detail guide.

the defacto standard app for converting video on windows is virtualdub.

Like MikeD said, I'd use ImgBurn. It's a real good program with compatibility for all sorts of formats, like AVI, ISO, GCM, and more. When burning, I heard that setting your burn speed to 2.4x yields the best results, but if you want to be on the safe side, it's recommended you use burn speed 1x. That's all I can add to MikeD's post.

if you mean avi to dvd (dvd video format), try convertXtoDVD, good software, you can also add subtitles, create menu and so on.

Even better, don't convert your files at all.

You can get a DVD Player that supports DIVX (XVID) encoding. I have a Philips DVP5990 player. It may not be the best on the market, but it does what I need. I simply burn my .avi files (which 8 times out of 10 are already encoded with DIVX) to a disc, pop in the disc and enjoy. Since I don't convert the files, I don't have to wait for the conversion and I can fit much more on a disc. Also, this particular player has a USB port. I just copy my files over to the USB drive, plug it in to my player and I'm set to go.

You can also buy a PS3 which will do the exact same thing (but with the added bonus of video games).

If you're considering purchasing a DVD player that supports DIVX, look for the DIVX logo on the box. Manufacturers have to pay for codec licensing so they proudly display that fact.

Hope this helps.

purchase a wd tv live and no more burning needed. the thing plays everything that I have thrown at it
