hi

divxtodvd which is free and will convert your files to vob/ifo/bup which you can then burn with say Nero on add-video

this app can load multiple files to make 1 film or do them seaprately also use DVD Shrink to get the overall size to dvdr size ready to burn with Nero!

all films will play one after the other

Generally Most WMV files that you download off of the Net will have a Very Low Resolution, Usually 320+240 which will look like total Crap if you encode the Files to the Standard Full D1 DVD Resolution of 720+480....

If your WMV files are Low resolution then What I suggest you do is encode the WMV files to Mpeg-2 useing the CIF/SIF DVD Resolution which is 352+240 which will Look "MUCH" better than if you encode them to 720+480 Pluss encodeing at this Resolution uses a Much Lower bitrate so you will be able to Fit up to 6 hours of Video on a Regular DVD-R with better quality than if you Put the Same Files but only 2 hours of Video encoded at 720+480 on a Single DVD-R....

None of the Simple AVI To DVD Converters support any other DVD Standards accept the Full D1 Standard so to create these Files and Put them on DVD you will have to use a Good Standalone Encoder Like "Tmpgenc" or the "MainConcept Encoder" to encode the WMV files to Mpeg-2 at 352+240 with a bitrate of about 1500kbs and after encodeing you will have to use a Good DVD authoring Program that Does "NOT" have a Built in encoder because Many Crappy DVD authoring programs Like NVE will Simply re-encode these Files to 720+480 which it shouldn"t do because the Files are allready 100% DVD Compliant..

I suggest you use a DVD authoring program Like DVDLab pro or even TMPGEnc DVD Author....

This Method will allow you to Fit a large ammount of Video on a Single DVD with Better quality than in you used the Full D1 Standard but this only applies to Low Resolution Source Files.....

Cheers
