firstly an avi is a video file so unless you mean dvd player you wont get it to play unless you separate the audio and save it in another format. Secondly if you are using a dvd player you need to find out what formats it supports. Usually the support mpeg 2 but it depends on your dvd player. Look up the model number on google and find out the specs.

it is a software issue so you post in the forumd dealing with your op.system
if it was a hardware issue it would be removable drives in hardware
