Help needed to put a film on disc
 

I am new to all of this downloading thing. I was quite happy bobbing around the net until my son, who is in the army got posted to Iraq and asked me to put some movies onto disc for the boys. Flipping eh, it was all a new language to me......... I have managed useing linewire to get them to my computer but that is a far as I have got, what on earth do you do next. I know that you have to do something with the format before you can view it on a disc but I do not know what. I tried to download a programme windvd but failed miserably as that was a trial version that has expired, unless I got it wrong again. So help is needed for a mother that has had four sons and survived to tell the tale but the present problem is about to finish her off if some kind person does not HELP.................................
