I want to know how to make a disc that will play in my dvd player from the movies I've downloaded on limewire (usually avi). Thanks for any info.

Answer
Standard DVD players read the .Vob format, the files you have now are in AVI format..

I would recommend you download ConvertXtoDVD. Ive been using it for a year now, never had a problem!

It will convert your video files to the dvd format readable by all standard dvd players, then burn automatically to DVD!

it is easy to use, fast and it works perfect for me.. give it a try, you'll love it

1. Download ConvertXtoDVD here:
http://www.burner-software.com/AVI-to-DVD-Converter/AVI-DivX-XVid-to-DVD.php?exact=ConvertXtoDVD3

It can convert any video file.. like wmv, mpeg, asf, mp4, avi to dvd

2. Add or drag-n-drop as many video files as the DVD can handle

3. Insert blank DVD

4. Click "Convert"

5. Enjoy watching those video files on your home DVD player! =)

ConvertXtoDVD has a lot of extra nice features too,
for example you can make your own ANIMATED DVD menu or auto-generate it, add subtitles, auto-burn to dvd or save your conversion.

How to play an avi file on a normal DVD player without conversion?

Sugama

I am trying to play an avi file on my DVD player but unfortunately it doesnt work. A friend of mine made a DVD disk which had 4 avi movies and they all worked perfectly on my DVD player. Can anyone tell me which software should I use to make my avi movies work on my DVD player perfectly? And from where can I download that software which will make the movie play without conversion? Thanks.

Answer
You need a Divx/AVI/Xvid Compatible DVD Player.

You Probably have a Standard DVD Player which CANT Read AVI.

Hope it helps :)

* EDIT * After Reading The Question :P

Hm, Interesting, Just burn the AVI's as a Data DVD Using Anything...

(Cnet.Download.com is a Very Good Site For Downloads)

But it Depends on the AVI Size. (A Normal DVD Holds 4.7GB)
