    Now that I have burned a DVD successfully, I wish to burn a number of them. The thing is some of the files I have are based on a British T.V program called Top Gear. I have about 30 complete 1 hour episodes of this show on my hardrive and watch them regularly on my computer. I used the G-Spot program to identify the various audio and video codecs. Some of the shows are XVID, some are DivX 3 Fast-Motion, some are DivX 3 Low-Motion. The audio codecs are identified as "Divx (same as wma) (0x0161) DivX Networks" or "MPEG-1 Layer 3"

    Is there any tricks to converting these for NTSC use in standalone players? Plain english really helps here beacuse I am stupid. Picture the stupidest person you know. Got him or her pictured? Now double it. That's me.

    I'm using TMPGEnc Plus to encode, IFOEdit to author the DVD, Nero Burning ROM v6.6.0.16 to burn, Memorex DVD+R's as media and a NEC burner of some kind to do the burn.

    Thanks,

    1) Make sure you have all the necessary codecs. If not sure, try download and install K-Lite Codec Pack (full or mega version):

    2) Try use e.g. VSO DivxToDVD (free version) to convert the movie clips into dvd compliant format. Set the output to NTSC. You can add several movie clips at one time (just keep adding before hitting 'convert'):

    3) Burn with e.g. Nero.

    Good luck!
