The only format which will play on all DVD players is MPEG-2. There are several programs to convert avi files to true DVD formats for burning. i.e. avi2dvd or tmpenc

Note that not all MPEG-2 files will even play. There are specific bitrates and resolutions which are meant for DVD. Other ones might not work depending on your player.
