1. If your DVD burner can also burn CD-R/W media, then you can make VCDs (VCDs are based on standard CD media, you can't burn VCDs onto DVD-R/W media).

2. You can easily convert AVI to MPEG with a software MPEG encoder (e.g., TMPGEnc). However, if your source AVI is DivX, you can have some difficultly. I recommend that you extract the audio file from the DivX as WAV first (e.g., with VirtualDub).

3. Don't know

4. The point of getting a DVD burner would presumably to make your own DVD video discs (e.g., high quality home videos from a miniDV camera) and to make DVD-ROMs.

Regards.
