Burning AVIs to a DVD to watch on tv, not recognizing some..

We loaded up our Roxio DVD burner software (Creator 6 Basic) all excited to burn a few AVIs to a DVD to watch on our tellie and we are having some strange issues.

First off, none of the AVIs we wanted to burn are recognizable to the program, although they play fine on the players we watch them on the computers with. The videos are the ones we made using XVid compression, which we just found out is not a supported format by Roxio. BUT we tried other AVIs which we downloaded from a-m-v.org just to test it out and those XVids WORKED.

So I'm trying to find out what the difference is between the videos we made here and home and the ones that actually worked in Creator.

Here are the properties of one that WON'T work:
sayukisavior.avi
image size: 480x352 pixels
Bit Rate: 128 kbps
Audio format: Lame MP3
Frame Rate: 29 frames/sec
Data rate: 195kbps
Video sample size: 16 bit
Video Compression: XVID

voices.avi
image size: 480x352 pixels
Bit Rate: 160 kbps
Audio format: Lame MP3
Frame Rate: 29 frames/sec
Data rate: 171kbps
Video sample size: 24 bit
Video Compression: XVID

d_bloodlove.avi
image size: 480x352 pixels
Bit Rate: 160 kbps
Audio format: Lame MP3
Frame Rate: 29 frames/sec
Data rate: 183kbps
Video sample size: 16 bit
Video Compression: XVID

Angelic Ballad.avi
image size: 480x352 pixels
Bit Rate: 224 kbps
Audio format: Lame MP3
Frame Rate: 24 frames/sec
Data rate: 184kbps
Video sample size: 24 bit
Video Compression: XVID

And here are a sample of the ones that will:
56forthelasttime(Xvid).avi
image size: 640x480 pixels
Bit Rate: 127 kbps
Audio format: Lame MP3
Frame Rate: 29 frames/sec
Data rate: 187kbps
Video sample size: 16 bit
Video Compression: XVID

AbsoluteDestiny-IWishIWasALesbian.avi
image size: 640x480 pixels
Bit Rate: 192kbps
Audio format: Lame MP3
Frame Rate: 23 frames/sec
Data rate: 274kbps
Video sample size: 12 bit
Video Compression: XVID

AMV Stop The Rock -Indifferent Productions [XVID].avi
image size: 480x352 pixels
Bit Rate: 160kbps
Audio format: Lame MP3
Frame Rate: 29 frames/sec
Data rate: 264kbps
Video sample size: 24 bit
Video Compression: XVID

Any thoughts or suggestions on this? We're stumped. Could it be the data rate/bit rate? Anyone else have an issue with this? It's got to be something we're doing at this end tho because just about every AVI we have is recoginized except ours and one or two others.

Thanks in advance!

Load up Mini AviC FourCC Changer (it should came with Nic's XviD.)

Select one of your video file as the source.
Change the [FourCC Used Codec] to DIVX.

Or, when you encode XviD AVIs from now on, change the FourCC used from "XVID" to "DIVX" or "DX50".
