If I burn an avi video file on a CD, will it play on a DVD Player? I doubt it but might as well ask cause I don't really know.

Certain DVD players will play certain types of AVI's. But if I had to guess, I'd say it wouldn't.
You do realize there's a format called Video CD(aka VCD) that uses MPEG1, right? Sort of like a low quality DVD with less features and all.

I've heard of it but never used it. How does it work?
just like he said, it needs to be converted and re-encoded to a vcd compliant mpeg-1 video stream, and then authored with nero, or another cd burning program that's able to make vcd's, and then it will play in your dvd player.
they don't have chapters, tho, are about vhs quality, only support 2 channel pcm stereo, and only hold about 1 hour per disc
if you want to be able to play avi and wmv files from your computer, and plan to do so on a regular basis, you can get a divx certified dvd player for as low as $40 now. it will say right on the box that it's divx compatible.
the quality will be much better than converting to a vcd.
if it's a short video, you could make what's called a svcd, which is mpeg-2 and much better quality, but also only holds about 1 hour.
there's ALSO what's called a kvcd, which can hold 2 hours of AWESOME quality video, but i have no idea how to make one
only ones i've seen were image files i got off the net.
