Burning .avi to CD [Archive]

My DVD player supports DivX and I have a 684MB .avi file that I want to burn to a CD to watch on my standalone (even burning to DVD would be ok). If I burned the .avi file straight to a CD (like I would for a data disc) would that work, or is there a different way to do it?

All help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I burn all my .avi on dvd and they play fine on my dvd recorder. Dvd recorder's are the only thing I've found that play my avi's. I can fit up to 5 depending on size.

We currently have three that do not play any avi files at all. We tried one after another and finally gave up and purchased a lite-on dvd recorder.

A simple Googlesearch provides information regarding DivX-capable DVD players. Click on the following link:

AVI is a format that encapsulates other formats. Your domestic player won't be able to play non-DivX AVI formats regardless. How do you encode your AVIs?

Your domestic player won't be able to play non-DivX AVI formats regardless.Actually, that's not completely accurate. Many DivX-capable standalone players can also play XviD-compressed .AVIs - although some of those players can't play ALL XviD encodes (e.g. XviDs that include QPEL)...
