Firstly you need to check if your DVD player supports DivX. If it supports then you can directly burn the AVI file as data and play it on your DVD player. Since you have a DVD Player and not a VCD player I would suggest you to convert the AVI file to DVD. Do you have a DVD writer with you? If you have then you can use NeroVision which is Part of Nero 6. In tht you have an option to create DVD. That should work. Still if any issues let me know. AVI to VCD will not be a wise option. You may have to burn atleast 2 CD's. So if you have a DVD writer go for AVI to DVD using NeroVision.
