DVD Burning Problem

[darley77]

I have just downloaded a movie from Lime Wire, and am having problems burning to DVD.

As far as I can tell the file is just called "video file" can't see any extensions of *avi or mpeg as such.

I burned the "video file" which is about 500 megs onto a DVD+RW through my Roxio Media Version 8 and inserted into my DVD player and nothing happened. I also tried on my Playstation in case my DVD player was not compatible, but nothing happened there either.

Window's media seems to be the only player I can watch it on!

Is there something I'm missing???

Yes you need to convert it to a dvd file so you will need a program that can convert and burn...Im not sure if Roxio does this or not as Im not familiar with it .I use dvdsanta I will give you the link for the demo version and you can take it from there, it is very user friendly....http://dvdsanta.com
