New Problem with burning...
 

My computer, which runs windows XP, has a program called media center, and is suppose to allow me to burn movies to DVD's, bu for some reason I cant. I drag and drop the movie to the my programs file and then I access that file in the media center, but it always says it is unable to write to the DVD because it is "not a supported file type". It is an avi file, and so are most movies. Can anyone please help me?

:Smilywais: :Smilywais: :bangh: :Smilywais: :Smilywais:

It will write anything to the DVD wxcept avi. files, anyone know why or a way around this or a way to fix it? Or should I use something else. Im open to anything.

Buy an Apple MacIntosh computer & you won't have these types of problems. lol :D (you did say you were open to suggestions ;) :D)

Nero7 Ultra

can anybody help me with opening and playing the movies in itunes

Is DVD Santa a good burner, or is there a better one which I can try for free?
Becuase with DVD Santa it wont write to my DVD-RW, is says error then a bunch of numbers.

A little off-topic here. But to import & play videos in iTunes they need to be mpeg 4 or H.264 which is simply a further developed version of mpeg 4. To play videos, double-click video file or else, select & press play. You will find videos in main library, or if you have iTunes 7 you will find them in the video list just below the music library list. So be sure you add mpeg 4 videos to iTunes, not any other type (not mpeg 1 or 2 either.) (Further off topic, I've found H.264 to be a very effective format to convert videos to. Even much more effective than divx in regards to size & quality. No wonder they were considering using this format for the new high definition dvd's instead of mpeg2 that's used on dvd's now.)

As suggested by Peerless, Nero 7 is VG. For free or trial program, try TMPG encoder & burner. BTW you can also search that site for others. That's a very good site. They also have a forum for questions you may have.

Me too
 

Am in the same situation like you. am unable to burn all the avi movies i have downloaded.
Please Please, kindly forward any solution you come across. Ok.
Thanks:idea:

Did you try TMPGEnc? Did you click on the link in my post & check out what it can do .... ? It can convert a lot of formats. It can also burn to disk. The main functions are trialware only however.
