Have you tried setting the ffourcc value of the AVI, rather than letting 
it be the default? Try -ffourcc XVID or -ffourcc DIVX or -ffourcc DX50 
on your command line when encoding and see if any of those make your 
dvd-player happy. I believe the default ffourcc code is FMP4 or 
something, which nearly nothing understands properly.
