What application on the computer are you using to try to play them with?

- If the DVD Author doesn't have built-in converter then you will have to
convert the AVI or any format it doesn't support to DVD-Mpeg.
*If* you gonna ask which converter then you can find more info at
www.videohelp.com
VSO DivxtoDVD is a free product that will convert most formats including AVI
to DVD folder formats. Then just burn using Nero or something.

I burnt the AVIs using Power producer and tried to play them back using
Power DVD
I have done this before with no trouble and been able to watch them on both
the computer I burnt/authored them with and the loungeroom DVD player

First, I admire this product because:
1) it is free at the moment
2) it is quick, when compared with fee based products
Caveats:
It suffers a time-code bug, in that the source may have an
errant time-code - to be expected in captures - but the program
accepts it like the word of a video god and resets its file
pointer. which far too often leads to a kiki loop (named after
the kiki bird which flies in ever diminishing circles until it
flies up its own ... well, you get the idea;-0) The author's
suggestion is to use some other editing product to fix this
problem??
Its predicted bit rate and its actual bit rate are so far
removed from reasonable proximity as to be laughable. Recently,
two consecutive captures from the same channel suggested similar
re-encoding rates. Yet one required DVD-Shrink to re fit the
output to a single DVD, while the other barely consumed half of
a DVD5. Needless to say, both MPEG2 captures were of the same
play time and the same 12 mbps capture rate.
Some day, this will be a great product!
