If you want a dvd-video use ConvertXtoDVD.

How are you intending to play these files.
Do you have a stand alone DVD player.
What model is it.
Does it play DivX files or simply DVD and (S)vcd.

More information please, then we can advise.

Sorry Baldrick, i was 1 minute too late

[pw29010]

my dvd player is phillips 5960 it plays divx. if i can convert them to divx it would be ideal

[JonnyCabs]

Try this link to convert AVI to DivX

https://www.videohelp.com/avi2divx.htm

These can be burned on CD-r or add many together on one DVD-r

OR as Baldrick says - throw them into ConvertXtoDVD and just make full DVD versions

[Baldrick]

Then say that directly...

It could already be a xvid or divx but in a mp4 container then can you try use mp4cam2avi.

[pw29010]

i think there a xvid in mp4 container

[pw29010]

i used mp4cam2avi to convert them, but when i go to watch them nothing happens i checked the properties on the output file and all the information is right. it says its a avi file and gives a correct file size. anyone know what i'm doing wrong
thanx

Possibly your playback codec. Open them up in VLC.

i tried VLC player but the only thing that happens is the progress bar moves but theres no sound or picture

Post one of your mp4 files to a shared hosting site like www.bestsharing.com
