Help! I purchased a LG dvd player because it can play divx files which I thought were avi files. When I burn my avi files to a dvd it wont play in my dvd player. However several files I have downloaded which are in .avi files work perfectly well on my LG DVD player. Why wont my dvd player play the avi files from Canon. I have had only success when I have converted my canon avi file to divx using divx converter. I would like to know if there is a way for me to burn my canon avi files directly onto a dvd disc without first converting them to divx.
Thank you for your time
Unfortunately no. Your LG DVD player cannot read regular .avi files, but only video files that are in the Divx format, or have been converted to the Divx format using a conversion tool. Divx converter is one way to do it, but there could be software options that let you set up batch conversions to the Divx format so you don't have to do each file one at a time. You should be able to find several freeware utilities to help you with this.
Best of luck!
