I have a movie saved on my hard drive and the info file says the codec is DVDR. I don't know how reliable that is. I really don't understand codec and the glossary did not help much? I want to burn the movie on to a dvd; i don't know if the codec has anything to do w/stand alone dvd players. Do i need to convert the codec or will my stand alone be able to read it. If this topic has been discussed please direct me to the thread.

DVDR is a format, not a codec. Codec is used to 'teach' your PC to decode AVIs. A MPEG (or M2V, MPV, whatever) does not need any decoding capabilities (apart the capability di view MPEG2 files, which any PC with a DVD unit sould have installed).

If you can view tihe movie with , say, WMP, you don't need any codec.

Of course, making a movie viewable by a DVD unit is a different stuff. You must have a movie compliant with your system (PAL,NTSC) unless your DVD player is multi-region compatible, and you need to 'author' video + audio(s) (+subtities) --> DVD.

If needed, look , on http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/ , under 'authoring'.
