I've downloaded a bunch of BBC shows in .avi format that I watch on my computer with winamp and the Divx decoder ( at least, that's how I think I do it)
I was going to watch some on a different computer with the same software, so I burned them onto a DVD as data files. The DVD drive won't recognize the format. What's going on? Did I miss a step or what?

Thanks, gg

PS, if you must know it's episodes of the Sharpe's Rifles, etc. series.

NM, it's working on the other computer, just not on mine. How wierd is that? I've got them on my own HD so I don't need the dvd. ;-)

.avi does not necessarily mean that it's DivX encoded. Could be another type of encoding...

you mean you cannot open the data dvd? or that you cannot play the .avi file??

you might need to install k-lite codec pack on the other pc.
