      Look here:http://www.google.com/search?q=play+.avi+on+dvd+player&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

      Seems like most say to burn a VCD or SVCD.

      Good luck!

      Yeah, you will need to look for an .avi to DVD converter.

      I have this on one of my computers:
      http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/?ap=avangate&aid=1891

      It works pretty well. It is pretty expensive though, about $160 USD.
      It was a gift to my grandfather though.

        you will need a program like the one Carbon Dudeoxide recommended, or you will need to purchase a DivX compatible DVD player. if you plan on burning alot of movies, i strongly suggest purchasing a DivX compatible DVD player. reason being, converted AVI files take up alot more room then straight AVI files. for example, a show i like to watch has all its episodes in AVI format. if i convert the AVI files i can only burn 10 episodes to a 4.7gb blank DVD, whereas if i dont convert the AVI files, i can fit up to 23 episodes onto one 4.7gb blank DVD.

        an added note, PowerIso is a good, free, utility for burning AVI files straight to DVD's.

          Better than 400 pages of computer video codec/format talk. :)

          The OP will decide: Hey, Jamie, did you get your .avi file to play in the DVD player?

          Wait a minute...did you say, "Prize?"
