[QUOTE="Kevriano, post: 1065977, member: 18605"] Ok. To make the AVI's play on a DVD player, you need to convert them to MPEG2 (unless your DVD player supports AVI - some do). Once you have done that you can then use disk utility to burn DVD, or Burn - a free burning utility. Bulkpaq are generally fine. I would suggest using ffmpegx or handbrake to convert the files, and if you have several that you want to stitch together as 1 then definitely ffmpegx. Once converted you can burn them as you would a normal DVD. Regarding cleaning the laser (which I don't think is the issue now) you can buy DVD based lens cleaners for £10, and they do a good job. It's best to clean once a month or so, depending how much burning you do, or how many discs you read. [/QUOTE]
