From what I understood +R burners were made by computer companies to prevent people from making video DVDs playable on standard players.

I can't remember at this time but there is a free beta of ConvertXtoDVD that I used all the time to author [AVI] clips I needed. It worked great, did exactly what you need. If I find it, I will post it and update this.

DVD Flick is an OK program to use. A bit of a pain in the ass though, and needs to be fixed into standard format with the aid of DVD Shrink.

Also, whether your final output of files are a set of VOBs and IFOs or an ISO, always, always use ImgBurn to verify the data burnt to your DVD.

. . . . . . . . . .

History of the DVD formats:

-1-
In the beginning, there was DVD-R, a good standard disc, capable of 3.68-GB (modern days, it is 4.382-GB).

-2-
Then a group of electronics manufactures, The DVD+R Alliance, decided they wanted in and made the +R format, with only a 4.377-GB capacity.

-3-
Later on it was seen that the +R format had an advantage of being made into an 8.5-GB dual-layer disc, the modern disc we came to know and love until this HD-DVD and Blu-Ray DVD stuff came out.

-4-
Most modern DVD players can play video from both (+) and (-), just check your burner if it says -, +, or ±.
