video on a DVD has to be in the VIDEO_TS folder, and you need a VIDEO_TS.IFO file for the DVD player to find first, then that will point it to the .vob files.

So, if you just put an MPEG2 file on a DVD direclty, it will not work. Best plan is to use a DVD authoring sotware which will import your video and export DVD-ready files which can be burnt to DVD with Nero or whatever. I like Ulead's DVD Factory 2.0, which has a 30-day full-featured trial version you can download.

Actually, more likely is that the Movie you downloaded is in Mpeg4 format. Kbuegel is right in what he says bout Mpeg2. However, you will have to convert it first using TMPCEng to Mpeg 4. DivX and Xvid won't work on normal DVD Players
