Yes, you are wrong, most dvd players only recognize standard video DVD well which should include VOB, IFO and BUP files, standard video DVD use MPEG-2 codec to encode video data and save as mpg or vob files, but most dvd players can't play separate vob or mpg files on dvd disc, must have the right IFO and BUP files on the DVD disc, so if you want to play the burned DVD well on DVD player, you need to use a right software to convert your avi files to standard video DVD and burn onto your DVD+R disc, but I don't know what software is good for macbook pro, I just know a good software for windows, if your have a windows computer, you can try RZ DVD Creator, it can convert any video files to standard video DVD and burn to any dvd disc(DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, etc), such as convert and burn avi files to standard video DVD, and the burned standard video DVD can be played well on your DVD player. You can yahoo or google search and download RZ DVD Creator, easy to use, hope it can help you.
