Can DVD players play AVI formats?

Cynthia

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

Answer
Standard DVD players read the .Vob format, the files you have now are in AVI format..

I would recommend you download ConvertXtoDVD. Ive been using it for a year now, never had a problem!

It will convert your video files to the dvd format readable by all standard dvd players, then burn automatically to DVD!

it is easy to use, fast and it works perfect for me.. give it a try, you'll love it

1. Download ConvertXtoDVD here:
http://www.burner-software.com/AVI-to-DVD-Converter/AVI-DivX-XVid-to-DVD.php?exact=ConvertXtoDVD3

It can convert any video file.. like wmv, mpeg, asf, mp4, avi to dvd

2. Add or drag-n-drop as many video files as the DVD can handle

3. Insert blank DVD

4. Click "Convert"

5. Enjoy watching those video files on your home DVD player! =)

ConvertXtoDVD has a lot of extra nice features too,
for example you can make your own ANIMATED DVD menu or auto-generate it, add subtitles, auto-burn to dvd or save your conversion.

Do regular video formats work on a dvd player?

Like avi or xvid? I have just bought a DVD player for my uncle and so far he played only dvd format movies on it but I wanna give him a normal avi on a cd. With it play? What about a normal sub or txt subtitle along with the video file?

Answer
It depends on the DVD player. Read the manual.

Some will handle VCD, or Divx, but not raw video files burned on a CD.

What is the maximum resolution and (file) formats supported by a dvd player with HDMI output?

xenos mc

If I buy a dvd player or recorder with HDMI output can it play files recorded in High Definition with .wmw or .mkv extensions or I must convert them to .avi (with Xvid or Divx encoder)?
Also I would like to know if files recorded in HD resolution (720 or 1080) can be played by a dvd player. Thanks.

Answer
Plain old DVD (the movie format - not the physical medium) is 480p. An upscaling DVD player using HDMI can stretch that to 1080p, but the picture quality won't be as good as a blu-ray disc, which is recorded in 1080p so no upscaling is required.

If your upscaling player supports other file formats, like Divx, they should definitely support 720p, but I don't know about 1080p. You'll have to check the manual for details on what formats and versions it supports specifically. In this case, the DVD is just a storage medium, so you could put 720p or 1080p video onto the DVD and have the player output it correctly - assuming it supports the file format you wrote the movie to DVD with. Again, check your manual.
