Avi grey screen when movies transcoded/burnt

Hi,

I'm hoping that this problem isn't as blatantly stupid as my last!
I've completed a slideshow, and everything is hunky dory on the preview.
I've included a number of .avi movies on the dvd, after the slideshow presentations. All the movies preview ok before burning.
However, once burnt some of the movies wont play - there's audio but no picture - just a grey screen. However, all the movies were taken on the same media (canon A80 camera), and about a third of them are fine.
If it was all the movies I could understand that it might be a codec problem, however Nero doesn't have any problem playing the .avi's prior to transcoding/burning.
I had a quick look through the log after burning, but there doesn't seem to be any errors reported relating to the movies.
Could anyone offer any advice on how to reauthor the .avi's so they might play ok.
I'm afraid (as is probably stating the obvious!) that I'm a complete newbie at this, so any simple advice would be appreciated!

I have Quicktime Pro and thought of resaving the .avi as an MPEG-4 file, and reimporting it into Nero.
Would this help?
