DVD Burning Help

I downloaded a couple of movies I want to burn to DVD. Do I need to do anything to the file before burning it?

What's the format(s) of the files?
If it's .ifo, .bup and .vob files in a VIDEO_TS folder you can burn them to a DVD usinng your burningsoftware chosing "burn as DVD movie" or similar.
If it's .avi, .mpeg or some other format you need to convert those to .vob to be able to burn them as DVD...

VideoHelp.Com is a useful site where you can read about DVD conversion and to find software (even free) that can convert basically any formats to DVD and vice versa...

When I had windows XP I used this to convert to DVD files for burning: http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/

If you have windows 7, it will automatically convert when you use Windows DVD maker to burn them... at least it does for me.

heatus what are you trying to burn?
just put the cd in, let the pc format the cd, copy the files you want onto the cd and click on burn files to disk, wait till it finishes (computer will either automatically eject or tell you it finished) and then thats it

I downloaded a movie. It's AVI file. I am trying to figure out how to convert it to dvd and then burn it. I don't know what the hell is going on. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh http://www.trustfm.net/divx/SoftwareAvi2Dvd.php thats the program I am using. Is there an easier one? I am fucking lost.

Can't you just plug your PC, Laptop...or whatever you got to your TV? I got a at least a five years old TV and can connect my Laptop to it like in 4 different ways. HDMI, DVI. VGA...is the most common. I even found a VGA to antenna adapter cable that I can use on my 25 year old TV I have in my bedroom if I want to...

I'm using VLC Media Player to play my moviefiles, and if it can't play it, it ain't a moviefile DVD Burning Help 965191

Yeah, I have it hooked up like that with a HDMI but I wanted to burn some movies to bring when I go hunting or fishing over the winter. We have a tv with an ancient dvd player. I figured it out finally. Hahaha...

Oh...I see...haven't burned AVI to DVD for years....so I can't help you with that one then.
