As I said before, you use K3B to create a *Data DVD*, not a video DVD.
If your player is modern enough, it will just read the (FAT) filesystem
and play the .avi files. I do it all the time, though nowadays I usually
just copy the .avi's to a pendrive since my player has a USB port. My
player is a couple of years old and only has USB 1.1 (the lower
bandwidth causes stuttering on some very complex images) but newer ones
should definitely be able to so this, plus many of them also
understand .mkv, .flv and other formats.

As Ed already said, you can of course also create a standard video DVD
with multiple titles using authoring software such as devede, but with
the caveat that you won't get so much onto each disc.
