Carlos, I'll check later what some of my software can do and get back to you.

Adam, no rush.

I have a new DVR for my home surveillance cameras with a built in DVD recorder if I want to save anything from the built in hard rive for future reference. Turns out it creates a .avr file and a .exe for EF Media on the DVD that can only be played on a PC.
I thought I would be able to burn a DVD and take it directly to a non PC DVD player as I did with my prior system but was in for a shock when I tested it out today for the first time.

A DVR makes sense, that's what my initial lookups on the container (file type) were saying. Well, that or an Atari ST 8bit audio file from 25 years ago...

I have some more questions, but since it's a security system, I'll send them via PM.

Carlos,
If you have to use a Windows app, one possibility that might work is CrossOver:

This avoids having to have a Windows OS - but I don't know whether the player app would work with it. Looks like there is a free trial though...

On the flipside, if you don't want to Dual Boot, you can of course buy Parallels or VMWare Fusion. But those cost more... Virtual Box is a free app that does the same thing:
