Try Nero burning ROM.

There are others out there, Il have to have a look through my bookmarks.

Most modern DVD players support avi. files encoded with Xvid or Divx and generally anything encoded in MPEG4 format.

Get linux ... it's free and will convert things nicely ;)

Or if not, give HandBrake a go ;)
