Best way to burn films to disk through nero . How do you people do it ? and any tips ?

@jjasper
More than likely those downloads don't have region code protection on them so you're okay there w/ the changes left on your burner.

The conversion bit from ntsc to pal deals with changing like the fps to match the standard of the region you are in.

- vs + well +r s said to better - as tailschao said the difference is +r can be booktyed to dvd-rom. I use both formats. Most dvd players now accept both formats.
You can check to to see if your dvd player accepts divX, avi etc here:

The burn an avi just use the data dvd option in burning rom.

Once you convert the avis you will have a video_ts for w/ vob,ifo,bup files so sounds like your okay there.
Now if your using Nero Digital that may be why they are not playing back - this makes them mp4 video. Use the these options instead: recode an entire dvd to dvd or remake a dvd.
