Please help -- I can't find a straight forward answer anywere and it's
driving me crazy! Thanks a lot.

Normal DVD players are NOT avi players.. that's why it's called a DVD
player, and not an AVI player.

However, there are hy-brid DVD players arriving on the market every day
now.

I just got back from a JVC demonstration of this one:

It did play DivX, Xvid, AVI, MPG-1,Mpeg-2, and versions of HD media
files.. Pretty awesome.

Keep in mind that if your planning on distributing your video (or create a
DVD), you'll have to transcode that AVI to Mpeg-2 to make it play on a
regular DVD player

Whoa!! Now, that's a really nice DVD player, and only $399 US at list
