Hi baby_grl. I have a couple of questions that may help me fine-tune my suggestions to you.

I assume the files you downloaded were AVI files?

Did you convert these files to a typical DVD structure before burning?

It almost sounds to me that the files you downloaded most likely need to be converted to a DVD format.

Torrents and other P2P applications have a lot of DivX, AVI, and xVid files that may play well on a PC with the proper codecs. However, DVD players may not recognize these files.

Take a look on the DVD that you had problems with. You should have a Video_TS folder which contains VOB files. If you don't have these files, then what you burned is not in a recognized DVD format.

Many people use a program called DivxToDVD to convert Internet movie files to a DVD format.

Free version:

Commercial Version:

Others use WinAVI to convert Internet movies.

I use DivxToDVD commercial and it does a great job. It's worth the money and they have a 10% discount going on now.

I hope this helps...

Hi dvdnoobie,

If you really like VSO DivXtoDVD v1.99.24, wait and see v2.00 coming out soon.

You will like it even more.

cougar_ii, trust me I will purchase v2 as soon as it comes out. VSO did a fantastic job on v1.99.24. Not only is it extremely easy to use, but DivXtoDVD has converted anything I imported without a single problem.
