    Not sure what you are trying to say.

    When you downloaded the MP4 Did you convert it to DVD compliant format then burn it on to a DVD?

    Do you Now Want to convert it Back to an MP4?

    What are You Using to Convert It?

    Have You tried using DVD Flick?

    lilbit60, you will have to convert your dvd file to mp4. Dvd files are in mpeg-2 format. So your mp4 player wont play them. mpeg-2 files are much larger. you'll save space by using the mp4 format. most movies are under 500mb in mp4. Remember to just rip the main movie. It helps in the converting step not dealing with the menus and other unuseful data.
