.avi is a standard video format that some DVD players will recognize. Neither of mine do. What you'll need is a program like Nero that can convert the .avi file to a set of DVD files, and then it burns it to the DVD disc. I can't think of any free software that will do it.
By the way, did you try putting the CD with the .avi file in your DVD player? If it's burned in a VCD format, it might play if your player is compatible.

hey Lola,
i get alot of avi files. i use Nero to burn them to dvd. my dvd player is fully loaded to accept avi files. check what format types yours plays?
as for converting them? i've not had to do so. i would think Nero or another program can.
