Convert mp4 movie downloads to avi

Can someone please point me in the right direction.
I have been downloading a few movies and TV programs that are in Mp4 format
I cannot play them on my DVD player or anything else.
I’m not a technical person, so need the easiest of all file converters to do this for me.
I know one of you Super-Humans out there will laugh at me and this, but I’m not as Gifted or as savvy as You lot.
Please tolerate me and my attempts to learn.
I will appreciate any reliable easy to use guidance available.

There are so many video converters out there that I would suggest using the search tool here at …
Search for video converter and read comments and reviews of the ones you find then choose one you like…
I’ve used many different converters and don’t really have a preference…
This free one works pretty well but installs something extra that you might not want, don’t remember if it’s a browser helper or some other crapware (Just Checked It’s A Toolbar) but you can disable it, or if you watch during the install and not just click accept you can choose not to install…

I just burn to dvd and freemake is fine for that. I’m gathering you’re wanting to burn as data dvds for your dvd player right? Because if you’re only interested in watching them you could burn the mp4’s as a dvd and they’ll play. You’d probably get a better result than converting them. And no one is going to laugh because you say you don’t know something. If they do, they’re not worth the worry
