What FREE downloadable program out there can convert .avi files to play on an older DVD player?

Question

I want a fully functional program not a trial version and I don't want to use Nero. I would prefer to use something that is easy to use. My player is a 1999 Pioneer DV-414 that is about 9 years old. It says on the front of my player that is has a 96 kHz 24bit D/A converter with "dts digital out". It also only seems to play DVDs with a menu. I got this player second hand. There is no instruction manual or remote and it is the first DVD player I have owned. It must have cost someone a small fortune when new and I don't want to get rid of it.
