Need Tips on burning movie to DVD..
ok first I've never really burn a movie file into a dvd before to be able to play it on a dvd player so I can watch it on tv.
I've only burn a file onto dvd once before and it work perfectly on a dvd player. However the file I downloaded was an ISO file and I used ImgBurn and I burned the ISO file into a dvd. The burning process was a success. The dvd video from the ISO was set up perfectly that the DVD played out on my dvd player with all the menus intact perfectly. So I know that if anything is in ISO file I can use ImgBurn and burn it into a DVD and I should be able to play it on my DVD player nicely like it was the real dvd.
However for say movies, if I wanted to burn a movie file into a DVD and have it play out on the DVD player, would I need to look for movies that are set up in ISO format? Before I normally just download whatever movie and watch it on PC with Window Media Player. But honestly I don't really want to watch movies on PC no more. I like to be able to burn it onto a DVD and watch it on big screen TV.
Need tips on what files I should look out for and what application I need for this, please.

I just browse for Xvid or dvd-r and use winrar and ConvertXodvd .

Would ImgBurn work or only ConvertXtoDVD? So if I take an avi movie and use ConverntXtoDVD, I can burn that Avi into a real dvd and have it play on dvd player like normal?
Re: Need Tips on burning movie to DVD..
ConvertXtoDVD can both convert AVI files to DVD format and burn it to your DVDs, so you don't need ImgBurn anymore :). You can play your DVDs like normal!

You would have to use a program like ConvertXtoDVD to burn the .avi file to a DVD because ImgBurn can only really work with a .iso file. A program like ConvertXtoDVD can convert the .avi file to a format that a DVD/DVD Player can read. I prefer the program DVD Flick, which you can find here, http://www.dvdflick.net/ because it is open source, free, and supports a great deal of codecs.

In terms of getting the movie I notice that most are 700mb in size but they are just movie. Is there any way to tell if its a full movie with extras and menu options in the torrent file? I prefer getting one with all the menu and extras option that a dvd movie normally have. But finding those kind of files are hard.
Re: Need Tips on burning movie to DVD..
You want a full movie with extras and menu options? Just download full DVD torrents (a DVD is about 4.7GB, not 700MB).
If you want to create your own menu. ConvertXtoDVD can
