Before burning to disc do the resultant DVD files play properly on your computer? You can usually just click on the VIDEO_TS.IFO or choose play from folder.

Sounds like a PAL / NTSC problem to me...
WinAVI sukz bad. Use convertx2dvd (or get a player that plays AVI without any conversion blues)

Or as was posted set your app to output to whatever is right for you, NTSC or PAL.

wel my player is region free so it shouldnt matter i tried NTSC first but i guess ill try another 5 hrs and do it in PAL

Region is not the same as Format

Do not encode it as PAL - that is your problem. Most DVD players sold in the US will not play PAL properly. Those that do rely on you also have a compatible television, which is also rare in the US.
