after downloading a MPEG movie i want to burn it to a dvd so i can watch it on a stand alone DVD player. but i have tired this and it does not work. is there a particular format?..i am using +/- dvds..Sony please help..thanks
What you need to do is to convert the movie file to vcd or dvd compliant file and then author a dvd or vcd. Use for example tmpenc xpress to convert the movie and then use tmpenc dvd author to create a dvd compliant dvd playable on a standalone dvd player. If the mpeg movie is ok from the beginning, just use tmpenc dvd author and use the mpeg file is input file. I recommend to look at the excellent guide section here at AD on how to author a dvd or convert files => http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/
