Burning AVI files to a DVD

[ChuckyZ28]

I got a video camera for xmas and the software that came with it allows the information to be imported to the computer using AVI file format. These movies will play fine on the computer abeit skippingr at the begining or after I fast foward/rewind because media player sucks but none the less I have tried to make a playlist and burn it to a dvd, I am having issues with this because when I take said DVD and place it into a DVD player it will not play. I would like to make DVD's that will play in a standard DVD player does anyone know how to do this and if there is a program that I can use to create menus and stuff too?
