    Well the first thing you need to do is stop typing in block capitals, see if that helps. :) as far as I am aware you cant format a blank DVD.

    Why do caps bother you?, anyway its not a blank dvd,but has a movie on it.the extension is AVI, i think., and 360 share is a download site, if you type 360 share on your browser you'll be directed to it.thanks.

    You have to re-encode the file before you burn it to watch it on your dvd player. There's a ton of programs that can do this (ie: VSO, avi2dvd, dvd santa, etc)

    Hello, caps are considered shouting on most forums and are only used to emphasis a certain part/parts of replys in threads...

    so you think? it may be an avi yes?

    i will take your word for that on 360 share...

    but as B2D327 says needs sorting first
