    I am trying to burn a data disc of 13 t.v. episodes so I can watch them on my divx/xvid compatible standalone dvd player. However one of these files is in mpeg-4 format and cannot be read by my player.(The other 12 are avi's.) Can someone please recommend a freeware or open source program that can easily (one click!) convert this file to a format that can be read by my standalone once burned as data?
    I have tried WinAVI Video Converter and a host of other evaluation versions with no usable results. Thank you.

    I use alltoavi, its open source but its not a one click wonder. I have had files (h264 files) that I had to convert twice, converting the first file it made finally into a normal avi. It has its quirks, it doesn't like long file names or files deep inside a tree (file in a folder in a folder in a folder etc) and you have to make some choices but it will convert almost anything and has a good help system.
