Default a dvd rewriter and downloading

Hi Everyone, just finally got a dvd rewriter on my new comp and decided it is time to start downloading dvd films like [edit], [edit] later series, [edit] stuff for my daughter.
Is there a section on here like an idiots guide as i am not the most switched on person when it comes to comps.

any help much appreciated.

what discs are best to burn to?
if i want to download [edit]series 2 episode 3 whats best way to word it in search?
once downloaded can i watch it on dvd player or just computer?

thanks in anticipation

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.
