    Hi baby_grl. I have a couple of questions that may help me fine-tune my suggestions to you.

    I assume the files you downloaded were avi files?

    Did you convert these files to a typical DVD structure before burning?

    It almost sounds to me that the files you downloaded most likely need to be converted to a DVD format.

    Torrents and other P2P applications have a lot of DivX, AVI, and xVid files that may play well on a PC with the proper codecs. However, DVD players may not recognize these files.

    Take a look on the DVD that you had problems with. You should have a Video_TS folder which contains VOB files. If you don't have these files, then what you burned is not in a recognized DVD format.

    Many people use a program called DivxToDVD to convert Internet movie files to a DVD format.

    Free version:

    Commercial Version:

    Others use WinAVI to convert Internet movies.

    I use DivxToDVD commercial and it does a great job. It's worth the money and they have a 10% discount going on now.

    I hope this helps...

    Hi dvdnoobie,

    If you really like VSO DivxToDVD v1.99.24, wait and see v2.00 coming out soon.

    You will like it even more.

    Nice new features has been added !

    Keep your eyes open...

    cougar_ii, trust me I will purchase v2 as soon as it comes out. VSO did a fantastic job on v1.99.24. Not only is it extremely easy to use, but DivxToDVD has converted anything I imported without a single problem.
