How to burn a avi file straight to dvd with Ulead DVD Worksh

[Gandalf the Great]

Hi I am about to purchase the Kiss DP-450 DVD Player. As it can play Divx I'm hoping to burn some AVI straight to DVD-r or CD with out converting them to MPEG first. But my problem is that I wish these movies to have interactive menus (using DVD Workshop) but this program doesn't let me do this without encoding them. I disabled this option but now I get a error! Also it changes the Avi file from a widescreen to a fullscreen picture. Any help to overcome these problems would be deeply appreciated.

You can author as dvd with avi. Workshop will reencode to dvd mpeg.

Thank you for your reply Baldrick

Workshop will reencode to dvd mpeg.

As I wish to play it off of the KISS DP-450 I do not want the movie to be converted into MPEG, I wish for it to stay as a AVI.
Thanks again for any help

DUH!
the KISS player plays AVI right on the dvd surfcae from what I've heard

that is if as I suspect and to quote you

I wish for it to stay as a AVI.

ITS MERELY A DIVX FILE that's CALLED AVI
look at the properties of the file to ascertain if its a dIVX avi ...

I have tried burning a avi straight 2 a dvd & it works. But I now wish the DVD to have menu's as well. How can i go about doing this without the avi file being converted 2 a mpeg file?

Wow, I think he wants to add a menu to his AVI (DivX). I never heard of that before. Has anyone?

I would happily be proved wromg, but AFAIK, it can't be done.

If you remember reading somewhere that it is possible, I suggest you search for the same info/article.
