    Use Nero Vision - here's a guide - link.
    Make sure you are using the latest version Nero - if not update it - 7.11.10.0.

    Then there's also the free DVDFlick - guide.
    It will handle formats that Vision doesn't like mkv or mov but chances are you dl is an avi which Vision should handle.

    thanx. i had luck with 1st 1 but next 2 failed.i have a few ? if u dont mind.then hopefully ill leave u alone. im self taught @ computers which means i dont know jack. is there a good online site 2 learn basics of comp then learn tech stuff so maybe i can understand the lingo? when i download from vuze it takes 4 to 16 hours 2 download. do too many seeds &peers affect that.R subscriptions helpful? and when sites ask 4 donations whose the best. i go on 4 10hour days this week so college would b ruff. i live in indiana r there people who teach on the side?

    Check out the p2p forums for some guides that may help you out - speeds, clients etc. Good members there that can help you out too. link

    Hmmm to learn about pc's - try how stuff works. They also have info on file sharing there (p2p, bittorent)

    Ah yes using p2p you need to watch it - you may be downloading a virus (always scan them) plus you're leaving ports open.
    Nero Vision doesn't handle subtitles. Plus it can be hit or miss w/ .mov files at best.
    I'm not sure if DVDFlick does or not. It may handle subtitles.
    Check out their site to see if they do:
    http://www.dvdflick.net/

    I also use ConvertXtoDVD - not free but another good one. Has a trial but leaves a watermark.
    There may be other free ones out there that handle subs I just don't know of any off the top of my head.

    edit: atrocious typos!
