![]() Welcome ... A good thing to do would be to start with the forum rules which are at the top of each forum. The reason is that mentioning copyright material is not allowed, so if you could click on edit on your post and remove the names, the mods will not be down on you. Also at the top of each forum are red labled threads called stickys which are a sort of extensive faq, and also there is a search function on the forums. I heard somewhere that episode names if you can find them are useful... as for burning I'm not the best person to ask, but if you search something like DVD Burn Disc you will find most things that way. avi is a good file format to look for, also mpeg Have a good look round and if you don't find what you need let us know ![]() |

![]() I don't mind the occasional edit. ;] DVD+R (instead of DVD-R) is most likely compatible with your players and computers. DVD+RW disks may be reusable, but some older DVD players and computer drives may have problems with them. Episode numbers are expressed in a few different ways. Try s02e03, 2x03, 02x03, and 203 all at the same time, and watch for episode titles so you can search for that text too. Most of your downloads are AVI, OGM or MKV files, at about 350 megabytes each. That generally means you can only play them back on a computer. Some newer players can play AVI files, but only if they are in the DivX encoding. It will be most reliable to convert the files to the normal DVD format before burning them to a blank disk. You can get detailed instructions at www.videohelp.com on how to do that, as well as where you can get the necessary conversion software. |
