Welcome ... A good thing to do would be to start with the forum rules which are at the top of each forum. The reason is that mentioning copyright material is not allowed, so if you could click on edit on your post and remove the names, the mods will not be down on you. Also at the top of each forum are red labled threads called stickys which are a sort of extensive faq, and also there is a search function on the forums.
I heard somewhere that episode names if you can find them are useful... as for burning I'm not the best person to ask, but if you search something like DVD Burn Disc you will find most things that way.
avi is a good file format to look for, also mpeg
Have a good look round and if you don't find what you need let us know
