Thread: Changing the format of an avi to format that will play in dvd players ?

I see this question on here but the answers are not very good at least not for me so here it goes. Can some one please explain in the most simple way what format do I change my avi file to so I can put it on a dvd and play in my dvd player and it does not play divx I need the format that plays on all dvd players like the bootleggers use . Also what program should I use to convert the files? Please help give the top amount of points to the answer that works!

avi should already play in the dvd. but you can convert it into mpeg or mp4.

to be sure, check the manual of your dvd player so that you will know the playable formats on the player.
