i read a post that was answered by cyber stalker but still ran into problems.

I downloaded the movie file, usually avi, mpeg or mpg and it works fine using windows media player. than i realized i had to convert the file for home theater viewing and followed the advice of cyber stalker and went to divx.com, but it didn't work. I converted the file using the program and it didn't work on any of my 3 DVD players. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a better way of doing this? am i downloading the right files? can i format the dvd any other way?

Please help me out?
