As opposed to doing all that work, go out to Walmart and buy the Phillips DVP-642 player. Then just burn all of your AVI's to cd and watch them on the phillips. It plays just about everything you could throw at it. and they also allow you to download firmware for it from the site to keep up with the codecs.

I agree with Canadbis. I searched for a long time to find conversion software but couldn't find anything that was free. A friend told me about something called CovertXtoDVD but it wasn't compatible with my Mac. If you have a PC though try googling it but like all the software I found for PC or Mac after a trial period you will have to buy it. Anyway I gave up and bought a DVD player that plays avi files. The one I got is a Panasonic that also has upcoversion for better picture (only good if you have an HD TV) and it has worked great so far. It retails for $150 (but I had a $75 futureshop gift card ) I'm not sure if it can download codecs but that sounds like a really good feature to have so I'll have to check.
