Neither my DVD player nor my TV with an inbuilt player can play them.
I have two files burnt onto a disc. They are both .avi with mp3 audio.
However, one is 856x480 and one is 640x480, that's the only difference. They're both the same size and length.
Why is one recognized and not the other?
Answer
Home DVD players usually only support DivX avi files. Maybe the one avi file is not DivX. It may be Xvid or H.264 or something. AVI is not a format, it is a container. The actual codec could be just about anything, packaged in an AVI container. Try re-encoding it to DivX and see if it works. Or better yet, use something like DVD Flick to actually create a standalone DVD out of it so that it will play on any player.

Can DVD players play AVI formats?

If not, what programs can I use to convert it to whatever format most DVD players accept?
