Hi conner8605,

What software are you using to convert (to DVD format) & burn files? If you're using Nero, there's a guide here.
Making a DVD Video using Nero 7 Premium

Use the forum search to look for convert DVD, burn DVD or something similar.
You could also try these sites, they have lots of info & guides.

Also, check what types of DVD discs your player supports (the manual should tell you) & make sure that you're burning to the right type of disc

Another thing it could be , is the person you get the movies from dont have a fast connection . Stick to T1 or T3 and higher . Those download the quickest.

You will have to convert the AVI Files to DVD Format. You will need Converting and Burning software to accomplish this.

VLC will not convert, it's just a Media Player. DVD Santa and Nero are recommended here on the Forums. This might be of some interest.
