How to burn DVD data with Nero 7?

[Kakui]

I have 4 avi files (a total of 3.5G in size) and in theory my Philips DVP5982 dvd player should play these files as avi on a dvd data disc. But can't figure out how to burn a dvd data disc with Nero 7 after making half a dozen of coasters. Please help out a newbie here. Many thanks in advance!!

What settings have you tried? UDF, ISO or UDF/ISO?

And try on a dvd-rw media.

I'd try IMGBURN - it works better than Nero once you get the hang of it.

I tired every format practically and you might be right about the dvd-rw thing since the NEC burner won't simulate (wrong type of disc error message).

Does the Philips player even recognize the disc with the AVIs (in other words, do you get a directory listing in the player)? Is it simply not playing the AVI files when you select them?

Took Baldrick's advise and switched to a dvd-rw disc and it burned and played on the Philips DVP5982 dvd player!! Thanks, Baldrick!
So I did a search online and indeed found some info on incompatibility issue between a NEC ND-6450A dvd burner (came in my hp laptop) and TDK dvd+r disc. Now I am burning with a Taiyo Yuden dvd-r disc and is going smoothly (antoher 40% to go) and I have a good feeling that it will work.
Many thanks to all you have chimed in, especially to Baldrick.
