A few Windows DVD Maker problems

Hi, I'm currently using Windows DVD Maker in 32-bit Vista Home Premium to try and burn a few of my avi files.

At first I downloaded the ffdshow codec in order to import the files to the program, but when it burned, no audio played.

Then i uninstalled the ffdshow and went with K-Lite Codec Pack.

I also used Movie Maker to separate my avi into what will be chapters on the DVD.

When I burned the avi this time, a green box appeared in the bottom half of the screen, and stayed there for the entire DVD.

These problems only seem to happen for a few of my avi files, because I've been able to burn one without any issues. Any suggestions?

=========================================
The following info...copied from the net...may be useful:

Fixing the Green Bar Problem in Windows Movie Maker
http://www.bernzilla.com/item.php?id=884

When I tried to follow the directions, I was unable to find XVid on my
computer. So I googled XVid and then went to ( I think) the 2nd entry to
download XVid. After I downloaded it, I was able to follow the directions
from bernzilla and when I published a video - Voila!! no green bar!!!!
