Just found this site which seems great, so bear with me cos l'm totally new (and confused) with all this burning stuff! So, l've just downloaded two .avi movies, one in one file and the other in two files, and l want to burn them to DVD-R disks so that l can play them on a standard dvd player. It appears that these need to be converted and then burned. Is this so? What is the best (preferably one) package or packages to do this? There just seems to be so many around that l want your advice as to what to use and do.
Thanks very much.

Hello Fagbutt.
Definitely you have to burn the data in the first place.The best burner as far as I know is Nero .Go for the latest version,its 7.There you will get the options for burning your movie files to a DVD R .From there you have to select the option for burning the movie files in DVD movie format ,that will eventually let you play your movies in a normal DVD player.Make sure you do not burn your filed as a data ,b'coz in that case you wont be able to play those files in a normal DVD player, but only in your system.
Hope this information is useful for you.
Thanks.

hello allywally,
U can use Nero Vision, go to Nero startsmart and select Nero vision, u can follow the guide in Arniebear's post, it is the very first link in his post, good luck.

If you have converted your file to Video Compliant, meaning it has the correct strucure of IFO, BUP and VTS files and the size is 4.3g or under all you have to do is burn your file. If the file is over 4.3g you then need to use a program to compress, Nero Recode or DVD Shrink will do this and then you can burn it.

Hello Fag and Arnie.
I think 300Bow's link is a pretty good one. There is one more option,you can use the help file provided with Nero itself instead of searching it somewhere else.Though you will get a lot of good information but why to take so much pain if its already available.
Hope you make use of the help file.Thanks.
