downloaded movie help!!!

Im sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I can't figure it out myself. I have various downloaded movies on my hard drive and I am wondering if it is possible to burn on to dvd-r. I have tried using nero and cheetah burning programs, neither were sucessful. The movies are in avi format. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

You could try this program, very simple, and fast, and free(I love all those things in a software)
You want the divxtodvd program:http://www.vso-software.fr/download.htm
good luck

out of curiosity, when you say fast, how fast do you mean?

 

Ummm ive never really clocked it before but its faster then TMPGEnc or nerovision express.

 

Thanks for the quick reply! So I guess now im wondering if I have to change the file format from avi to something else? I just can't think of why else it isn't working?

 

Your avi wont load up in divxtodvd?
heres a guide:http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/vso_divxtodvd_guide.cfm

 

no, and im not exactly sure what they are loading up as...it's a drag and drop program and I think that they are being burnt as data files.

 

can you play the avi on windows media player etc., and does it have sound and a picture?

 

download this little tool, it will tell you if you have all the necessary codecs:http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/gspot.cfm

 

yup, no probs there...im just downloading a new burning program to see if that makes a difference.

 

thanks, i've already got the g-spot
