Hi
I've downloaded a film from the internet. When I copied it to DVD I could only put it on disc at the worst quality. I am using 8X DVD-r 4.7gb. How do I get better copies of playback?

I have downloaded in AVI format and used MainConcept MPEG encoder to re-encode to MPEG II format. Then I run it through DVD Santa to create my DVD. I've had great success doing this. Obviously not as good as DVD but the picture is very much improved and very impressive.

It seems to be a WMV file downloaded from 360share. Size 233MB. I have not done anything to it as I don't have a clue. I have something called Sonic and Windows movie maker. i used Sonic and as I say for the best quality it would take up 9GB so I am trying to figure out how to compress the file and still have quality.

Try downloading and using Super Video Converter. That converts any video file to whatever you want to convert to. Why would you want to compress a 233 meg vid? single layer DVD holds 4.7 gigs of data. Even if you converted to the best possible image size, you're still going to be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay under 4 gigs.

A 233 meg wmv file should be at the max = 1.5 gig tops after the conversion to mpeg2.
You wont need to compress it it.

Hi
I thought that as this file was so small I would not have to compress it but I am using something called Sonic to burn and the only quality I can burn at is EP (extended play). This pixelates on playback in a dvd machine. I have tried various other free/shareware including Cute DVD, Videozilla and Cheetah DVD. When copied I can play the dvd on my pc but when I put it in my dvd I get a bad disc error message.

Use DVDShrink. No need to shrink, but you can at least see what the quality will be prior.
