DVD converting Help

[rickster0003]

i read a post that was answered by cyber stalker but still ran into problems.

I downloaded the movie file, usually avi, mpeg or mpg and it works fine using windows media player. than i realized i had to convert the file for home theater viewing and followed the advice of cyber stalker and went to divx.com, but it didn't work. I converted the file using the program and it didn't work on any of my 3 DVD players. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a better way of doing this? am i downloading the right files? can i format the dvd any other way?

Please help me out?

There's some links here: CODECs list and alternate players for Movies where you can find an alternative program or a forum for dvd converting issues.
Burn your dvd's at low speeds & make sure they are in the appropriate format (UDF) & not a data disk. Also make sure your set-top player can play dvd-r's including the brand of media you're using. Some are brand sensitive. Experiment with a dvd-rw if your player can play those.

You paid $50 for what? No way!!! Cancel the transaction ASAP thru your credit company. Your cc company should be able to deal with scam sites! They will no doubt have a special department that deals with that type of issue. You probably spoke to the wrong person who doesn't know much.

The latest version of Nero with all the included plug-ins should be able to do the job!
