You will need to post more info to get a proper answer.

What kind of burner software do you use?

What kind of disks have you tried?

What kind of DVD Player do you use?

What format do you burn to?

May even help if you post the format of the sourcefile

The disks or DVD Player are the most likely culprits, but not for sure.

Power 2 Go I have never heard of. Most regularly used software is Nero. DVDSanta and Super for converting is some cases.

I checked it out on the net and it looks like it will convert avi files to DVD, but as I said before I haven't tried it.

Use DVD-R or DVD+R disks. Most players will have problems with -RW

Check your players specifications on what kinds of disks they support. Will usually say what kind they will read on the player itself. Or alternatively check the manuals that came with them for info on that.

What I meant about format is if you convert the files to DVD or just burn them as data. Many players will not read avi files, so you have to convert them
