AVI to DVD I really don't understand

[Confused_n_new]

Hi all,

I am very new to this and having been recommended by several friends, I finally decided to take the plunge and get limewire.

I have downloaded several video's, but cannot change them to a format I can actually watch them in. Ideally I would like to put them on a disc and pop them in the DVD player. What program do I need to do this?

Please, please bear in mind that a fish has more technological knowledge than me, and please be gentle with me. I know it can be frustrating when trying to explain to someone who doesn't know where to begin.

Any help you can give, I would be grateful for. I have searched the forum to see if this topic is covered, but to be honest, if it is, the answers are so complicated it may aswell be in japanese!

Thanks
