.mpg files are 'old' technology meant for easy conversion to VCD format, which is able to be burnt to CD and played in a DVD player...
visit
VideoHelp.com and do a little reading on the subject...
.avi files are the best for kwality for various reasons, but since you already have said file in said format I would say just go with it for this moment and in the future try to find files in .avi format and then convert them to DVD format (I prefer Nero7 as it is real easy to use..a free trial version can be downloaded from their website)
