    Try using convertxtodvd, it will convert the video files to a DVD compliant format then burn them to disk for you. Convertxtodvd isn't free, but if you do this all the time, its one of the best conversion software there is IMO and is worth buying.

    Check it out here:

    Also, if you have nero, nerovision will do the same for you. If you don't, you can download a free trial of the software here:

    A free alternative is DIKO, check it out here:

    Here's a guide

    so there is no way to burn XVid Video's to a DVD? Like I am trying to burn a Season of a T.V. Show but how would I burn them? Like when I put the Burnt DVD how do I select what episode I want to watch? There won't be any menu's or anything? I don't understand what to do?

    Alright so I have Nero and I found Nero Vision but when I went to MAKE DVD I added one of my XVid file's and it didn't seem to convert anything but the video took about 3.31 GB when the video is really only 369 MB? Also will these video's play on a DVD Player?

    The xvid format will have a smaller file associated with it (ie. the 369 MB file in your case), when it's converted to a DVD compliant format, the file size will be much larger (ie. about 3.31 GB in your case). Have nero burn the file to a DVD disk, the disk should be playable in your PC or standalone player.

    Using nero vision 4 to convert any file to dvd guide:

    If you had nero save the file to a loaction on your hard drive, here's a guide on burning them to disk.
