The problem is that Front Row will not recognize the .avi files burned to the data DVD if you select DVD from the menu, because it isn't a formatted DVD. So, as a workaround, I dragged the DVD icon from the desktop into my Movies folder. This created an alias that could be accessed from the videos menu in Front Row. And better yet, the alias stays as a placeholder even when the disc is ejected, so the next time you insert it, you are ready to go!
