Burning .avi to a DVD-R?

How do you do it? How do i burn a .avi file to a DVD-R disc?

do you want to burn it so that you can play it on a dvd player, or do you just wanna burn the file to the disc?
either way it depends heavily on your burning software. i suggest you check the help file

Burn it to a disc to play on a DVD player .

DVDs are MPEG2, VCDs are MPEG1. Whichever you choose, you'll need to convert it with some software. Very few DVD Players will allow you to just burn a .avi as a data CD and play it.
Actually, if you have Nero you can just choose CD> Super VideoCD, and Nero will convert it for you. DVD> DVD-Video requires it to already be in the correct format.

I always wanted to know that I have Nero so i'll try and burn a DVD tommorow!

Donloaded this the other day. Works pretty good.

you need to convert the .avi file into the dvd format files (.vob i think)

u can do this with a program called WinAVI. its a good program and can convert almost any video file type into another. mpg to avi, ram, dvd, etc and vice versa

after it converts to the dvd format files, i just burn it on a disc using Nero. go to burn DVD Video Files then just drag the files inside VIDEO_TS into the VIDEO_TS on nero and start burning
