I used dvd flick
but still can't watch the dvd on my home player. What else do I need to do?

Most likely

1) need to convert avi to dvd format (dvd fkick does this)
2) need dvd shrink to compress if dvd file > 4400 Mb
3) need dvd shrink to create iso output file.
4) burn resultant iso file to dvd with imgburn
5) watch dvd on standalone player

I have wasted a box of dvd-r trying to record
this movie to watch at home nothing is working.

Probably would have been cheaper to just have bought the movie DVD...lol

Sir you seem to know so I ask one last thing
1.I have movies that were D/L'd from the net.
2. I want to convert them to play on my home dvd
3. Can you give me the steps to complete this action
I know buy the software but i have the movies I did buy the software to
try and convert and burn them, nothing is working, I sit for 5-6 hrs while it converts then it don't work when I burn them.
SO SORRY TO BUG YOU.

just use dvd flick and make sure the project is either set to PAL or NTSC I use NTSC because im in the US

also make sure you are using quality blank media I suggest Taiyo Yuden or Ritek Ridata you can get them at supermediastore.com
