Hi, this may be in the wrong place, if it is i apologize.

My question is this:

What is the best program or way to transcode .avi .mp4 .rmvb
or any other format into dvd format so i can burn it and it will play on AVY DVD player.

I can burn movies just fine now but i have issues with the disc not working on some dvd players, so how can i insure it will?

You cannot have a solution to burn DVDs that will play on ANY DVD player. For example, you'll probably never be able to make a DVD play on a broken player.

However, to ensure playability on most players, make sure you use good quality discs, and your DVD firmware is up to date, don't burn too fast. I would also suggest using DVD+R media and booktype to DVD-ROM(if your DVD drive supports that) for greater compatibility.

don't agree.. every standalone player supports -r disks.. +disks are not seen by about 30% no matter how the bitsetting is. also older players have HUGE problems with the 16x disks.. either + or - makes no difference..

My suggestion (as a pirate for gain) is to use -r disks of a reputable brand.. no less than samsung or ridata.. and the 8x type burned at 4x

That will not guarantee 100% playability on all hardware.. but I probably get 1 or 2 out of a few hundred a month returned as no go. Those I replace with usually a different disk brand.. I know who has the dodgy older players and always run a couple of different branded and +disks specially for them ;)

I'm not going to disagree with that, however, a while back(3-4 years) I retired a player(DVD/VCR combo) that refused to play any burned straight DVD+R or DVD-R. It only played DVD+R booktyped to DVD-Rom. Since then I never bought a DVD-R, and never had a problem again; until I have a problem playing DVD+R booktyped, no amount of theory will convince me otherwise.

For everybody else,they can read left and right,experiment, and make up their own mind.

so they will work better simply by burning at a slower speed like 4x?

what im doin now is usin Winavi video converter to transcode then i use either dvd shrink or dvdfab or nero to burn them but nero is so slow so i try to not use it.

plus im not familiar with book type, whats book type?

If you convert with Winavi, then using Nero or DVD Shrink is a waste of time, unnecessary step. Use ImgBurn to burn to disc.
