Here is Common Problems when burning AVI with iDVD:
A project is not successful during burning or disc imaging.
A project is not visible or audible in iDVD Preview mode.
AVI played just fine in QuickTime, but they “grey out” in iDVD.
As we know, AVI is a container format which may contain audio and video codecs (compression formats) not supported by QuickTime and therefore not supported in iDVD, here are two solutions to burn AVI to DVD.
Solution 1: DVD Creator for Mac Better than iDVD
