I bought a new DVD burner but the copies I make from my downloaded movies won't play on my tv/dvd player. Any ideas?

Are you simply burning the avi file onto a data dvd? There are only a very few dvd players which will support this, the alternative is that you have to convert the file to true dvd format.

if you make a combo iso/udf dvd-r in compatibility mode (i believe that's udf 1.02), some standard dvd players will mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 files from a data disc. but it really depends on your player.Originally posted by lynx@29 October 2003 - 15:00

if you want to play AVI files, you will either have to buy a player that supports mpeg-4, or convert the files to mpeg-1, mpeg-2 or dvd-video.
the only way to ensure that downloaded movies will play on nearly every dvd player from dvd-r discs is to convert them to dvd-video.
Also check which type of DVDR your set top supports, many will not play any at all, and some wont play dvd+ disks.
My burner is dvd+r or+r/w. How do I convert a file to dvd-video? I have Nero Express, the OEM version and Pinnacle. Both came with the drive. I have only been able to make Data disk.
