Just read your Audio CD/Mp3 burn advice. Beautiful thats the best little bit of advice I've been missing out on for ages, now I can stop wasting time converting from mp3 just to get max 18 tracks, I though you had to choose audio.

Please, what file format is best for film downloads, AVI ?
and how to burn backup.

I've spent hours downloading, converting and trying to burn, but it doesn't happen.
The films play on Windows Media player so the download is ok, do I need to convert? what disc should I burn backup on.

Nice to hear the audioCD instructions where a good help.

.avi (DivX) and .mpeg or .mpg are usually the best files to look for.

I must confess I am not a movie expert, but in general, when you want to backup a downloaded moviefile (or any file for that matter), you should save it as it is to a datadisk.
The same as you do for a MP3 disk.

I did hoever come across a handy prog that converts .avi to DVD. so you can view your downloaded files on your DVD player.
It's called DivXtoDVD
But you need to have a DVD burner to use it of course

ThanX Raaf you're a star.
Will burn the film as data but not sure if my dvd player will play it.
But the DVD conversion link sounds good.
