I have a video on my hard drive in .avi format. What format do I need to convert to so I can play on my home DVD player. I use DVD-R and DVE+R to burn to. My home player is RCA.

I know most DVD player support MP4. But I personally think you don not need to convert your avi file. You can burn avi to DVD and to play it on your home DVD player.
