Hi I am new to this, I want to know how to save my downloaded movie/dvds to my comp so I can burn to dvd disc? Please help!!!

When you download video files, they're automatically saved to your computer...

What are you asking

thanks for replying, I can't find the movies from limewire to burn them? Does this make any sense? I want to be able to take a movie from my line up and bring it to the burner? How can I do this?
thanks Pebs

Are you asking how you can find your files?

Open Limewire...go to library tab...locate your video file and select it(click on 'video' under saved files)...click 'Explore' (bottom left of screen)

This will open up the folder that contains the file you selected.

I hope you understand that you must convert your files to DVD format first, unless your player has a DivX decoder.

Good Luck

Hi and thanks again for replying, I will try that today and I really don't know if it has a divx change thing, but i will see where this gets me. and how do i change it to dvd......?????

You need a video conversion program to convert .avi files to DVD format. See the links above provided by WW.

Note: you will lose some quality when you convert to DVD format. Everyone likes different conversion programs for different reasons. I have switched several times! The software that I would recommend is WinAVI (fast, doesn't take up much CPU, good quality). It costs $30. There is a trial version with limitations (either watermark on video or output limit of 30 min. probably).

If, however, you want top-notch quality, I would recommend TMPGEnc. The encoder in this program is phenomenal. You will end up with a DVD that is nearly indistinguishable from your source video. There are some drawbacks, however...it takes up a lot of CPU, and it takes a long time (6-8 hours, whereas WinAVI takes about 1 hour). It costs $100 for the current version, or $155 for both TMPGEnc and TMPGEnc DVD Author (which I also use). You will need to do some reading on the software, too, to get the best results out of it.

Another option, as I alluded to before, is to not convert your movies at all...get a DVD player that plays DivX format. You can fit 6 movies on one DVDR! Some movies, however, will look a little small, but at least you don't have to watch it on your computer.

Best of luck
