    Another ques - if I see a movie and its over 700mb, does that mean it's too big to fit on a burned DVD?
    What are they #'s to look for regarding size of a movie?

    When I use dvd flick for my avi files, I customize the size to 4300 MB for my dvd output. Makes sure I have enough space on the disk to ensure I'm not burning too close to the edge.

    It doesn't matter what size the movie download's to, it's the running time and Bitrate used during encoding that determine's what size file you end with. If you have a DIVX player, you can burn avi as data and watch them on TV (6 x 700 MB avi to 1 DVD.
