Is there anyway I can burn an xvid file from my computer onto a DVD so it can be watched on a stand alone DVD player?

Thanks in advance...

Just started to go through the guide and I have realised that the file is an .AVI file - is there a guide which works with AVI files as that one doesn't?

It shouldn't make a difference. Just follow the guide :)

That's what I did, but when it came to opening the file which you want to create the DVD from it gives an error saying:

"File can not open, or unsupported"

I tried a different AVI file and it opened that ok - why will it not open this particular file? It's an xvid AVI file

"Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unknown)
Virtual Dub requires a video for windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. Directshow codecs such as those used by Windows Media Player are unsuitable"

Thanks - I have downloaded the codec, but don't for the life of me know how to install it - I have read the very basic instructions - is there not a simple way to do it?

Ok - I have followed the guide and it has just finished creating the mpeg. I thought I'd watch it just to check the quslity and it appears lsightly jerky. Not massively so, but it's noticeable... any ideas why? Could there have been a setting somewhere - I followed the guide exactly.

any ideas why the mpeg that was created is jerky in comparison to the original .AVI file?
