im using Vista and im trying to burn a video onto a disk using Windows DVD Maker, the only problem is.. the AVI file im trying to burn on the DVD wont open in Windows Movie Player 
BUT! it will open in VLC because that plays like everything, any way to fix this, other people just say its my codecs or whatever and tell me to download DivX? is that right? HELP! I need to burn this DVD!
Ok. i downloaded the DivX and i burned it onto my DVD.
I am yet to try it on my DVD player, but when i tried it on the computer the program just seemed to copy the video onto the disk? is that right :s

Probably is. Check properties of the movie and see what format it is in. If when you try to open in media player you get nothing or a pop up that says it is no supported then you need codecs.

Get Nero version 8
Or Ashampoo Burning Studio 8
Or SONIC
Or WinDVD Media Centre
If not, get the program SUPER (free). It can convert your video to a supported file.

I would recommend you download ConvertXtoDVD. Ive been using it for a year now, on windows, 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 from vso official site here:

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 DVD menu or auto-generate it, add subtitles, auto-burn to dvd or save your conversion.

I usually use a DVD creation software named Wondershare Viideo to DVD Burner that can burn avi and other video formats to dvd on computer or onto discs.
