I heard there's a way that you don't need to convert AVI file to play it on the DVD player. You just need to burn the AVI file as a DATA and use the ISO file format then you should be able to play it on the DVD player without goint thru all the slow process of conversion. Is this true? and how to do it?

No it's not. In order for a DVD player to be able to read an AVI it needs to have hardware that's only found in a few players (the ones that play MPEG-4). No matter how you burn the disc an ordinary player won't be able to decode the video so it won't play.
