I downloaded a movie and want to copy it to dvd-r or dvd-rw to play on my home dvd player, Can anyone tell me how to do this and what I need?.

 

What format is the d/l file in ( as avi?)

 

it just says video clip with a Windows Media Player icon

 

this is the movie Alien_v_Predator_Requiem[2008]DvDrip[Eng]

Thanks for your help I will try that

 

And the question is ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^??????

 

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

Can I use dvd+rw to record on?

 

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

 

So right!But one day i will want to copy movies
for my family and would like to know how. With as little trouble as possible. AND FAST

 

Then buy the original DVD and make yourself a backup.....

 

I know i'm not the first to want to learn this.
Oh I did buy the DVD, Thanks.

 

And this is how u bak up your store bought dvd
