I have a bunch of AVI files on my computer. How do I burn them onto a DVD+/-R and have it be able to play on any normal DVD player?

AVI files cannot be played on a DVD player. They need to be converted into a format that can be played (e.g., MPEG-2). The file(s) can then be burned onto a DVD using authoring software that creates the proper disk structure to allow a DVD player to recognize the disk (e.g., Pinnacle Studio, Adobe Premiere Elements). The disk's physical format (e.g., DVD+R, DVD-R) must be compatible with the player you want to play the disk on. You must also ensure the video has been created in a format compatible with your local television broadcast system (e.g., NTSC, PAL). Programs such as Studio will convert your AVI video files to MPEG-2 on the fly when you create the DVD. It is highly recommended that you use a dedicated hard drive for the rendering process. I use a 250GB SATA drive for audio/video editing. It is safe to assume that the rendering process for a two-hour DVD will chew up 20GB of disk space. A high-performance system is needed, because rendering a DVD can take hours. While you are rendering, you can't really use the system for anything else. I often render projects overnight.
