Changing File type from MP4 to AVI?

[Jackass]

Ok, completely simple when it comes to computers, haven't a clue!

I need to change a file from MP4 to .AVI to burn onto DVD and play on my DVD player, but *ahem* I tried to just change the file name and needless to say, that didn't work!!

So any very basic step by step way of doing this?

Thanks for any help and sorry if this is posted in completely the wrong section.

try googling it

Also have a look at:
www.videohelp.com

lots of guides and software on there. Does your DVD palyer deffo play .avi files?
Is there a Divx logo on it?

Hey,

Thanks for your help, I used WinMPG to convert it, was delighted with myself and headed off to bed as it worked its magic over night...

Then put on the DVD this morning - and it feckin put a watermark accross the middle of the screen saying "Unregistered - WinMPG Convertor - www.winmpg.com"

Grrrr :mad: I looked around, but presumably unless you pay, there's no programme that will convert the entire thing for you and not put a water mark on it, is there?

I don't mind paying, but looks like €30 to do it and this really is a once off operation for me

I think my bro has access to a paid one, but he'd have to download the whole file that I want on DVD first etc. etc. etc. what a mess!

Thanks for your help though - it's still watchable so that's the main thing, I'll get used to the thing on the screen!
