Converting video to AVI MPEG4

Hi guys

My DVD/USB player only supports files that I convert from whatever file type they are to AVI MPEG4 using Total Video Converter. No other AVI codecs work. Unfortunately, I can no longer use this program, since it simply refuses to progress the conversions I attempt nowadays. I have no idea why this is...

Any other conversion programs you can choose the AVI codec you prefer, particularly MPEG4?

Kind regards,
