Glad VLC worked for you.

To burn movies onto disk you'll need a burner, such as Nero. There are quite a few others, some are free at where you got VLC.

You can burn DVDs or video CDs that play in most newer DVD players. CDs are limited to 1 hour, so most movies take two CDs (after splitting in half with something like AVI Splitter).

There are mixed reviews re Nero. I use it without any problem, though most of my output is video CDs (which give me a better full-screen replay than I can get from DVDs that were ripped to 700 -800 MB; whereas DVDs ripped to around 1 GB should give a fine result when re-burned back to DVD).

Of course, you can search LW for any programs mentioned, but be careful. I had to try a few different downloads before I found one that would properly install (and each time, I was also taking a risk of being infected). Better to start with the freebies at nsa******.com or download.com.
