How to AVI to DVD?

[TRIPxCORE]

I have a movie on my computer in AVI format that I want to put onto a DVD in order to play on most regular DVD players. I know DVD flick will convert it and burn it but the option for my to tell DVD Flick to burn the movie after it's converted isn't working. It won't let me select it, it's blacked out. WHat am I missing?

Did you put a blank media into the drive (assuming you have a DVD burner drive). You can also ask DVD Flick to produce a DVD folder instead of burning straight to disc, and then use ImgBurn to burn the DVD folder.

Here's the guide I wrote which deals with all of this:

I did do this and still the "Burn DVD" option will not let me select it. It's blacked out like that option doesn't exist for me or something and I don't understand.

Ya know, when I click the little blue explanation button that sits next to the "burn DVD" option that isn't working for me, it says that "burn to disc" will be unavailable if no recording device is found. Well I certainly have a DVD burner installed on my PC but for some reason DVD Flick isn't recognizing it. How do I fix this?

In Project Settings/Burning there is no drive showing in the drop-down menu?
