converting video files to dvd format or divx avi?

Question

i downloaded a file > ((wrestlemania xxiv 2008 ppv hdtv x264 widescreen (bm) (gid)) from mininova. it has 3 files in 1 and under each file when i open the folder it has avi and the avi logo for each file. so i use nero start smart as normal to burn the file or files to a dvd disk and play it in my dvd player which supports avi, divx etc. but my dvd player doesnt support this format for some reason even though it says the file type is avi. so can somebody recommend a program to use to convert the file i descried at the top to divx, dvd or a straight forward avi format. i dont understand why my dvd player wont play the format when it says all the files are avi but just wondored whether someone knows a good program to perhaps convert the file above to a format the will play on my dvd player; the player is an LG multi format recording dvd+rw?
