AVI is not a video format but a container. What your DVD player can't deal with is the video codec used inside this AVI container. DVD players usually have no problems with MPEG4-ASP format which is used by the popular Xvid and Divx codecs.

VLC might not be the easiest way to convert your file. You may want to try AviDemux for doing the conversion.
