[QUOTE=signals;50917]To clarify, you can burn a DVD full of AVIs for storage, but they won't play on most DVD players.[/QUOTE]
Actually, I have seen many standalones from the past three years and all of them support(ed) DivX, XviD, SVCD, ordinary audio CDs or data CDs with mp3s (or even AVIs). In fact, it is quite hard to find a player that doesn't support reproduction of AVIs from DVDs or CDs these days.
I suppose tracyd is trying to do exactly this - transfer (copy) AVIs to DVD blanks.
