Just a small point, as koufax07 did not say what file format he recorded.

As most of us know, there are numerous computer video file formats, e.g. avi, wmv, mpg, mov, etc. In addition, there are even variations within the established ones, for example, your PC may be able to play one type avi file and not play another.

However, to best of my knowledge, which is shaky in this area, DVD players will only play mpg files, unless you have an enhanced machine that can see other video formats, such as DivX.

Then you have LOTR’s problem of screen formats, i.e. PAL (mainly European) and NTSC (mainly US), SECAM is French and, as such, can be ignored.

PS. I won't mention DVD Regions (of which there are eight) because you are recording your own DVDs but suffice to say that a DVD recorded in one DVD region will not play in another.
