I can get the movie downloaded...I can get it over to Real Player but when I get to Burn CD..it tells me to insert CD which I do but it does not seem to see the CD there...keeps asking me to put CD in...Feel like I am almost there and then I hit a wall...

Which software are you using for burning it with And what type of file is it? I presume you're hoping your burner app will convert it to mpeg1 for you for VCD?

I have, Sonic, InterVideo, something called CDR, and am going to try Nimo....and RealPlayer...RealPlayer gets me almost all the way until it asks me to put in a blank CD....when I install the blank for some reason it does not see it there....

Not being a Windows person, it's maybe a bit out of my league. Have a look at this website (click link) & its adjoining forum. I suspect they will be better able to solve your problem. Alternatively & this might be a bit off the mark but the following link to another forum which 'might' have a subsection to also discuss these types of problems: Forum 2. Hope this helps.

It depends upon the format the files are in as to whether your burn app(s) can handle them. Some can handle avi & mpeg1. Some might be able to handle other mpeg formats but u might have to purchase xtra codecs for them. The files u dwnlded 'might' need to be converted 1st. Particularly if it's a vcd you're trying to create.
