Just drag the AVI file onto DVD flick and it will create the DVD files.

Then burn the DVD with ImgBurn freeware
http://www.imgburn.com

Just drag the VIDEO_TS folder onto ImgBurn and it will create the DVD disc.

 
Is there an easy lookup table that shows us which DVD media is good
quality?

 

Nope, because it also depends on the burner being used.

www.DVDrecordable.org - a good site for reviews on optical media and drives

and http://www.dvdinfopro.com/  - DVDINFOProT by Nic Wilson is a DVD
information program written in Visual C++ for Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT,
2000, XP.  Will tell you how good your burner is and how good the media is

No.  You need to read the disk manufacturer's TOC with special ID
programs, and that'll give you the country of origin and which
specific plant the batch of disks came from.  Plants are generic,
which means they'll sell their discs to somebody to brand them as they
see fit.  Somebody can mean more or less according to their standards.
You have to find out of the batch process is a good one, to go deeper,
types of dyes employed and overall quality.  There are trackers -
sites with people doing that sort of thing from surveys and
tabulations for consistent media quality. Among somebody,  Taiyo Yuden
used to be a better name for expected quality, last I checked.  A
player/writer is no less important.  One that doesn't work with good
discs or whose manufacturer doesn't consider its customers for future
media compatibility is effectively cutting its own throat.  Don't know
if NEC got back on the boat, but last player (after several NEC 34/35-
series) I bought was a LG model.
