Burning a DVD

help

OK, I just got a dvd burner for the pc. A buddy of mine sent a video thats uses divx. He told me I could burn a dvd and watch it on my home dvd player. My question is how do you do it? I have software that burns the dvd and I tried that but got a disk error. Any idea?

it may have encryption. If the DVD is your DVD, then try x-copy, if it is not yours, then it is illegal.

What is the file extension of the video? If it is a divx, the extension is probably avi. In that case, you should try burning it as SVCD. Check out dvdrhelp.com for guides on how to do that.

Thanks I will check out that site. It is a personal video, one that plays freely on the pc but I want it to play on my home theater.

you need to convert avi files to MPEG2 which is the format DVDs use.

Tmpegenc is the best for converting
