All messed up

Hi there! I am having trouble with video files. I have downloaded some music videos and I can't seem to burn them. I have tried using Nero,deep burner and media player. I actually did have deep burner work (or so it seemed) and it would say burning was complete but then when I tried to play the dvd I get a error message saying "wrong format". Do I need to save them as like avi or mpg? I've tried several things and am just stuck. Thanks for any help

You have to burn them as DVD if you don't have a decent player. Use Nero Vision 4. just add the Videos you want to burn.

(note: It will use close to 100% cpu while convertin the videos so do this during idle time)



You can also just burn the videos as data. If you have a decent DVD player you can play those as well (depending on format) You can use Nero for that as well. If you have any preinstalled burnprogram called Sonic I would suggest that you get rid of it ASAP and get real burn software. It makes the disks into something called DLA and won't play in many DVDplayers. If you delete Sonic, Nero will take over

Only "some" dvd players will play such files though. The normal format for video dvd is UDF which is what most players expect to see. Choosing video-dvd within Nero or Roxio will create such a disk formatted in such a fashion.
