Waddya mean? You can't find the movie you downloaded or it just won't go on the CD burning software?
Btw, what CD burning software are you using?

bellebeau - download VLC player and see if the file will play. It has most codecs installed and will play most file types. If VLC won't play it, you more than likely have an invalid (fake) file.

vms - AVI is just one type of video format. It is more compressed than DVD format and doesn't do dark colors as well. You could also try VLC player. You can burn AVI movies directly to disc, but many DVD players will not play them. Check the specs on your DVD player (or look for the DivX logo on the front). I bought a player that plays AVI movies for about $30. The movies sometimes appear very small, though. (Most appear slightly smaller than a widescreen shot). Most people, I believe (myself included), encode their movies to DVD format, which can be played on most players. Some encoders will allow you to reformat the size of the movie to your taste. Check out this website for information on encoding and burning to disk:

Windows Media Player should have no problem playing MPEG files (as far as I know). See if VLC player will play the file (link in my previous post). If VLC won't play it, it's probably a fake file. Do you know how to check files with Bitzi before you download them? I highly recommend it...if there are many sources but no Bitzi rating, it's probably fake. If a file has only one source or several sources but no Bitzi rating, there's a chance it's a valid file that no one has bothered to rate yet.
