Use Freemake (FREE!) to convert to DVD format and have a look at your DVD player's specs to see what types of DVD formats it can play.

Nobby Have you downloadeed a codec pack. If not then you can get one free here http://klitedownload.com/ Just download and install on computer the program will do the rest, you will not see the codec pack but it will be used. No codec no sound no picture. You need to make sure when converting it is converting to DVD not any other format. You will also need a burning program to burn to disc either DVD- or DVD+

codecs are usually needed for playback on the device/computer that you are using, I've never come across the need to have them for converting or burning.

Use a DVD burning program, google it and you would find so many options.

You have to convert the avi to mpeg2 that's the dvd standard.
