convert avi to what?

Hello,
I have some movies in avi format on my computer. I would like to
burn them onto a dvd+R recordable disc. Do I have to convert them into a
certain format in order to be able to burn it onto a cd? And is there any
good program that will help me to do this and that will burn the file for me?
thanks
emma
