I have some movies in .avi format which I have downloaded from the internet.

I want to burn them to a DVD which should be playable on a standalone DVD player(even those which do not have DivX/Xvid support).

Can anyone provide any names for softwares which will help me do this???

You can provide names of both freeware and shareware programs.

Use Total Video Converter to convert the avi file to DVD format and then burn them to a DVD with Nero.

If you want maximum control over the process:

Software You will need: Avisynth, HC encoder, VirtualDub,IFOEdit , besweet & GUI and a good authouring software (I use InfraRecorder).

All Freewares.

Basic Process:
* Create a avs file.
* Framserve avs file to HC. Let it encode to mpeg.
* Split audio from original video using Virtual DUB
* Encode audio to AAC using besweet (you can also use mp3)
* Use IFOEdit to multiplex DVD
* BURN [Nero, InfraRecorder anything will do]

You can find a full guide here: *www.doom9.org/
Look in the Guides> Format conversion section. Ignore anything you see about DGindex.

This is a good guide too: *www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm

The process is a little time consuming and the learning curve is a little steem so have patience.
