    Is this the correct forum for asking about playing AVI on a DVD Player (connected to TV) that supports .AVI video files?

    I am downloading .avi files thru Rapidshare and copying them to a DVD+RW disc. Most of these files play on my Toshiba SD7200KU/SKK99KU DVD (which I recently bought for $59). However, some do not play... the DVD player will skip to the next file. My DVD player connects to a Sony TV thru HDMI cable.

    I am looking for a way to test/fix/convert these .avi files so they will play. I am not sure how to begin troubleshooting this.

    My DVD Player manual says a few things about video file support:
    ---Divx Versions: 3.11, 4.12, 5.0, 5.1
    ---Frame Rate: 8-25fps
    ---Enhance Video: GMC, Qpel, Progressive B Frames

    Is there an guide or procedure I can follow to troubleshoot this and get the 'problem' files to play? Thanks

    I have the philips Divx certified player and the only time I cannot play a file is if its in DivxHD or if the file is corrupted do these files you mention play on your pc?

    Yes - all the files Play on my PC - so they are not corrupt in that sense.
