    Ok I am new to this whole thing.. And I wish PC's came with instructions now a days with programs but they dont !! Anyways ... I am downlaoding movies from the net and trying to burn them to a DVD-R , it will not import my movies that are .avi. What kind of program is good to convert .avi to .mpg .mpeg? I have tried www.tmpgenc.net but it doesnt work for me doesnt even want to open up. After I am done converting the .avi to a .mpeg do I have to do anymore converting or should that be fine then to put it on the DVD-r? And then... I am using the CD DVD-R to put the movies on them is that concidered VCD? Im lost help please !!! thanks

    Mpeg 1 is different to Mpeg 2 , Mpeg 2 is DVD compliant.

    Mpeg 1 will probably burn straight away in Nero but as a VCD (and as long as under 800Mb)

    Coverting .avi to .mpg nobody wants to answer OR dont know the answer cos I've posed the question myself here

    Not to harp on this point but.....
    The reason why computers don't come with instructions is this; to give you instructions on every function on the computer would require a book so big it would take 5 people to carry it.

    It's kind of the same reason why new cars don't come with manuals on how to drive; it is assumed that you know how to use the machine before you buy it.
