copying films to dvd

[willyboy]

I have a few avi films on my pc, some spanning two disks, which l would like to burn to dvd. In a previous answer, someone said that these need to be converted to mpeg format first. What are all these different extensions (avi, mpeg,divx etc) Does this mean that all films must be in mpeg format only before they can be burnt?
What's the best all-in-one software to use that will take any film, apparantly convert it, then burn it to a dvd disk for use in a dvd player?
Thank you from totally confused

As I posted in an post up the column a bit I use Convert X to DVD. Set it and forget it. Even turns the comp off if you've gone to bed when it's finished.

You need to convert your video to MPEG-2 format and then burn to DVD. you can find free software to do it.
But it's easier if you use this DVD creator :

It can burn any video to DVD for palying on a home DVD player. really easy to use! I recommended!

Hope it helps
