Does anyone know how to change a video file's type from ".avi" to something else?

This software allows you burn AVI to DVD disc directly. I recommend Cucusoft Mpeg/Mov/RMVB/DivX/AVI to DVD/VCD/SVCD Converter. It enables you to convert and burn any video file directly to VCD, DVD, SVCD, MPEG1 and MPEG2 format.
