How can I convert a .AVI file to play in a DVD?

[rumfitt]

Hi

I have some .AVI files which I can play on my Macbook Pro G5. I would like to burn them onto DVD's to play in a DVD player.

Can any help advise if this can be done and how to convert the files to burn on a DVD etc.

Thanks

Software, like Toast, will do the conversion automatically, and burn the disc.

I have a DVD player that also supports DivX though.

As long as you have Perian installed and can play them in QuickTime, you could easily author a DVD in iDVD. Keep in mind that this will re-encode your videos to MPEG-2 for DVD video, which is less efficient than the DivX/XviD codec usually used in AVI files so you will not be able to fit as much material on the disc, and will result in a further drop in quality.
