It's a gamble with dvdplayers, some do some don't.

I use a modded original xbox for a media centre, (xbmc) plays avi off a data dvd (6 avi files burnt onto dvd backup style) and streams literally any media format through my network of my main rig/file server.

The program I suggested will do it all, you simply select the files, select a jpg as a title screen, set your titles menu, stick a dvd in, click the "convert" button and it encodes the files and burns your disc, on my p4 2.4ghz rig with 1gb of ram it takes about 1 hr 20 minutes to convert/burn 1.4 gb of avi.

With films that are in 2 files, you can put them on the one disc, click continuous play before you burn and it syncs the two files together, or you can stick 2 single file movies on a disc.

I make my own title screens in photoshop at 1024x768 with images of the dvd covers and the menu/title over each cover image for dual film discs, fits to 4:3 perfectly

Why is it a gamble, it says if it is compatible on the box?

get on some tech boards....i swear there are a couple of specific dvd players in the $70 dollar range that play avi's burned right to disc.....

i swear i remember talking about that and wanting one and never looking any further...that would make my life easier

Well I just downloaded DVDFlick, Ill try the ConvertxToDVD if this one doesnt meet my needs. Thanks. I just need to buy some DVDs now.

I like being able to make an opening screen though, thats cool.

Well if it says its compatible then it most certainly will play them, unless they are really poorly encoded.

With some other/older dvds, it was one of those things, where some that stated they supported avi files may not play divx, but play xvid and vice versa. I've used a modded xbox for years, never actually owned a standalone dvd player, only witnessed what friends and that have and what my downloaded movie collection has worked on. I guess a lot of the newer dvd players even the cheap ones support divx and xvid these days.
