Once you have a movie dowloaded how do you get it on dvd, i've tried w/ blank dvd's, cd-r & cd-rw?

You need a converter program. The movie file was probably downloaded as an MPG or AVI or something and needs to be coded and converted. Do a search for any file conversion programs.

yea, if you have Nero you can simply take all the contents of the DVD and paste them throught the program to a specific location usually nero files in my desktop, or use a Divx.\nBesta luck.

A really good website explaining this is www.papajohn.org.  Look under Import Movie Source Files > Video > Discs - DVD, VCD, etc.

movies or data?\n\nIf you have a fairly good dvd burner on your computer for movies I'd use http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html\n\nDVD Shrink..its FREE, and provides no loss of quality for movies, unlike commercial pay for it dvd back up software.\n\nIts simple to use, all in one software. You used to have to link it to another piece of software.  Now you can just put in a dvd...select OPEN disc.  Then Back UP.  Wait some time (between 10mins to an hour) and it begins burning.  NO loss of quality.\n\nDVD X Copy is a lesser contender, but again being commercial software its a) not free b) you do lose visible quality on your footage if you are compressing a larger film onto a DVD-r(or dvd+r). \n\nOf course you may have a dual layer burner that can cope with 9GB DVD blank discs....\n\nFor data:\n\nI just use NERO.  Why? because its practiaclly idiot proof and does do a lot.\n\nOnce you got your software you'll want discs!\n\nThis is the best place to get them online.  I can get DVD blanks for under a dollar a piece! \nhttp://www.meritline.com/\n\nThis is the type I use http://www.meritline.com/ritek-8x-dvd-r-dvdr-silver-blank-media-discs1.html Though this is DVD-R be sure to buy the type YOU can burn to.  I have recently upgraded to a better DVD player, but my old no thrills basic model coped with these discs whereas it wouldnt others.  My new DVD player copes with pretty much any disc.  But I like these DVDs and pretty much stick them.\n\nMerit line are really cheap (the above start at $0.45 each in packs of 50), and have a 60 day money back garuntee if your dvds are no good.  So you can burn one, try it in your dvd player and if its no good, send it all back! Heck if you only want to burn your kid's dvds...then you could buy 1 box of 50 and there you have 4GB of storage on 1 DVD almost like a mini hard drive!\n\nGood luck

You need a program to "rip" the raw format from the DVD to convert the raw format to wmv or whatever you like.   Usually, these programs aren't free so yeah..  You have to buy them

Using  DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter(free online) you can convert those files to ISO and burn them. It'll play in any DVD player. You can also rip any movie.

Firstly, make sure your CD-ROM drive is compatible with DVD media. You should be able to see the DVD logo on the front of the drive or you can find your drive's properties in Device Manager. \nSecondly, you need a DVD decoder and a program like Windows Media Player to view DVD's on your system. \nTry visiting http://download.com/ and searching for DVD decoders.

Apparently you have a DVD burner. If you also have a DVD player besides the DVD burner you can put the one that plays in the DVD player in comptuer and put a blank DVD disk in the DVD burner and use Nero (seems to work very well) and choose the option of copy entire disk. This should work for you..If you don't have a DVD player in the computer you can pick up a DVD/CDrw @ walmart (lite-on brand) for around 30-40 bucks....Thanks

You're gonna have a heck of a time trying to get a full movie fit onto a CD. And, I'm not sure video files will burn to CD format.\n\nI use DVD 1 Click Copy to do what you are describing. Works great and is easy to use.

I use AVS Video Converter.  It can covert most formats of video files to a DVD player compatable one.  I don't know how much it costs (I didn't get mine one of the most legal ways)\n\n\n*cough*try downloading it off Ares or LimeWire.  Make sure you get a serial number with it*cough*

If you have a DVD+/-R drive, you can read the disk off a +R disk and copy it to a -R disk.  Check in your DVD burner software for a "disk Copy" utility.

You need software that can handle the DVD files, yes. Plus a progrm that can rip them to your hard drive. Try looking on http://download.com/ - the download should be free.

Try to get DVD Shrink.  It does almost every DVD but it can't do all of them.  It worked on the new starwars movie. Go here to get it.  The best thing about it is that it is freeware http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html

First you need to convert them to the standard DVD formats (Check on the web for more) \nAfter you have converted them you need to check if the software package you have supports burning DVD into all formats.\n\nAfter you have done all this you can then burn them them to DVD.
