Try changing the extention to .mov and see if it can be read in your media player. I've known Windows to do wierd things to avi and mov files in the past.

To be honest though, I wouldn't use Premiere for DVD authoring. My normal workflow for this is to use Lightwave for modelling/rendering (always to uncompressed TIFFS). Then, move into DFX+ for compositing the individual shots. Then into Premiere for actually building the final animation and adding the soundtrack, exporting to either DV or uncompressed AVI. Finally, for the DVD authoring, I encode the whole lot using Adobe Encore.
