This really depends upon the DVD player
In my DVD manual it tells me which disks and what formats are playable on my
player.
What does your manual say???

It's not about the type of discs you use, it's about the FORMAT you use to
burn them. If you burn an avi movie file as a "data" disc for instance, it
will play back just fine on your computer, but not on your home DVD player.

By the way, what are "audio movies?"
