    I believe tunebite is strictly for audio (wma), not good for wmv files, which are videos.

    I have WM Recorder, but that only works if I enter the URL. I have the wmv files downloaded to my computer, they are fully licenced. I just want to know if its possible making them to dvd format. I can only add them to a data disc only with individual wmv files. If possible wanted to know if they can be converted to mpeg even.

    Thanks.

    I thought about a screen capture program. The videos are of the 2004 and 2005 World Series which I purchased from the Major League Baseball website. And no I'm not into porno!

    hmm, interesting, i didnt know you could do that

    how big were these files, did you download them off the internet, they sound like their pretty big

    in the future, just buy the DVD and get the video off that

    if i remember correctly, the prog is VHP Screen Cap or something, again, this might not be right, so google is your best bet

    side note, you will know you have the right prog when you get the one that needs a driver addition for it, hope this helps

    and i was just kidding about the porno, not trying to hurt your feelings ; )

    The files range from over 500MB up 600MB I would have bought the actual dvds but that would cost me too much, so thats the reason I did it this way, was a much cheaper option for me. However I didn't know they were protected files which would stop me from making them into dvd format. Will have a look at that VHP Screen Cap.

    Thanks,

    Beck

    Ok I got the screen capture program just have to figure out how to use it, hmmm was thinking might just stick to keeping the files as they are and just putting them to dvd as invidual wmv files, and not worry about the dvd. The quality isn't that great anyway so best to go with that way, thanks for all your help too,

    Cheers, All the best for the new year!
