convert .avi files

I have some .avi files that I would really like to be able to watch as a DVD on my computer or tv. I know absolutely nothing about the jargon that goes along with video files, so please be gentle. Is this even possible ? From the properties of one of my .avi files lists the following...width 320 pixels, height 239 pixels, audio format MPEG layer 3, frame rate 29 frames/second, data rate 29kbps, video sample size 24 bit, video compression DivX codec. Thanks for any help you may provide !

I am having exactly the same problems as you are. When I play in my home dvd player, i get one video frame every 10 seconds while the audio is going at normal speed. Slideshows play at about 300mph.

I am using moviefactory 2 from ulead and so far has been the most successful of my attempts. I have successfully made 2 slide show/video clip combo discs, but now having problems somewhere with some setting or something. I also reinstalled again.
