I don't know if this is the right section but i saw it's for n00bs so i thought i better post here.

I was just reading these guides:
http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/avi_to_dvd_avi2dvd.cfm
http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm

and now i'm a little confused, so far i have burned a few AVI files to DVD-R but all i did was use Nero and added the files i wanted and just burnt straight away. what difference will it make if i convert the avi's to dvd like it says in the guides? i don't really understand because they seemed to work ok so why would i need to convert them?

(I didn't check your links...)

Some DVD players will play .avi , some don't. If you have already burnt a DVD pop it in and if it plays yay, if not you need to convert. (some DVD players need a firmware update befor they'll play .avi.(i think... this ain't my area)) (Check the munufacturers website for updates.)

I use a prog called "winAVI video converter" to convert my .avi's to DVD.

It's not free, so you need to buy it or figure something else out..
