How to go about making a DVD movie using an AVI file

[Nuprapture]

I've got avi files on my computer and they're all like 715mb and 90 minutes roughly. I've tried VCD, but the videos just dont fit onto the cds. I've got a DVD burner and I'm using Nero Express 6. When trying to create a "Video DVD", it tells me that I need .bup, .ifo, or .vob files (DVD-video file types). Right now my only option to put videos onto a DVD is to make a Data DVD rather than a Video DVD, but these dont play on my tv's dvd player.

How do I go about converting the AVI files to be recordable onto a DVD for use in my tv's dvd player?

Thanks for any help!
