Vista and 7 has a utility built in for making DVD's. Sounds like you need a codec pack to play those files correctly on your computer. I would visit filehippo.com and download the codec pack for your specific operating system. Gets us out of jams easily.

To get them to play on Windows media player...

► Video/Audio Codec's ◄

Download & Install -> http://download.cnet.com/K-Lite-Mega-Codec-Pack/30...

During the Installation Choose.. Basic, All File Types, Windows Media Player.

Now WMP Will Play most Video/Audio Files Easily.

► Burning DVD's Easily ◄ (For Playback on standard DVD Players)

* Nero Vision - By Far the Best Program To Burn DVD Movies *

* DVD Flick - By Far the Best Free Program To Burn DVD Movies *

DVD Flick -> http://download.cnet.com/DVD-Flick/3000-7970_4-109...

DVD Flick Requires IMGBurn To Burn the Movie...

IMGBurn -> http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-11673...

After Downloading & Installing DVD Flick & IMGBurn, Run DVD Flick..

Hit 'Add Title' Up top Right.. Navigate and Select your Movie..

Then hit 'Project Settings' Up Top.. Hit the 'Burning' Tab..

Tick 'Burn Project to Disc' & Hit 'Use As Defaults' & 'Accept'.

If you Wish to Add a Crappy Menu then Hit 'Menu Settings'.

Now Hit 'Create DVD' Up Top.. It Will Begin Transcoding/Converting..

You Can Hit 'Entertain me' & Play Tetris if you wish :P

Once Done IMGBurn will Load & Burn the Movie Automatically..

So Make sure you have a Blank DVD In the Drive Otherwise..

You will have to Transcode it all over again.

Also a stupid message pops up when you start a new project Warning..

You that it will delete the Old Project.. Just hit Yes.

Hope it helps :)

To burn an avi video to a dvd so it will play in any dvd player, I use DVDFlick. It's free and easy to use.

Your question isn't written very well - this isn't reall a file transfer question. You're asking about how to burn an avi file to a dvd, or more accurately "author" it.

As a Computer novice you are going to want to try getting a free copy of Nero, (don't pay they will try to coax you into paying for it) and there is a make a Video DVD option, follow the Graphical interface, and it will make and convert your DVDs, it might take it some time to convert them (I've seen it take 4-8 hours on older machines). if not there are some internet services out there to make DVDs for you.
