avi and mpg files
 

when i burn avi files onto a disk it will not play on my home dvd player. when i burn mpeg or mpg files onto a disk it plays. mpg files take ages to download, why and is it worth paying for an avi to mpg software converter. any help would be appreciated and i am sorry if i have posted in the wrong place.

Some burner apps will do the conversion for you. To find some free converters for avi to mpeg have a look here: A. http://www.videohelp.com/

But keep in mind the quality of the conversion can make a big difference.
