I am going to be using Nero 7 for burning a dvd for downloaded episodes of a televiion show, and I'm not sure what these file types are or if its going to matter, but on my computer they say winamp media file, but they have extensions like HDTV.XVID and HDTV.XVID-LOL and HDTV.XVID-XOR and HDTV.XVID.[VTV]... is this going ot be a problem?

There is a free program called "G-Spot" which will tell you exactly what file type it is that you have there. You can download it from here:

That the file is shown as Winamp file is easily explained. Winamp is your default media player. It it would be Windows Media Player them it would be shown as Windows Media File.

I believe the XivD and DivX format are usually avi files, which Nero should be able to burn without any problems....

The HDTV means high definition tv
and LOL and the XOR are IDs....

Nero 7 is known for it's audio glitches when it comes to burning TV series...
Try Sleepless's advice in this thread to see if that helps it....

as WW has noted, .avi files are the best...they have much higher kwality with filesize held as a constant when compared to .mpg files....XviD is the best as it uses a VBR for the audio, which allows a smaller audio track size which enables the video to be of higher kwality....

Just saying hello for my first post. I do have a first question though. I use nero smart for burning downloaded movie files and sometimes after burning I get a(" Playback prohibited due to area limitations") screen. It doesn't happen everytime, but occasionally. I would appreciate anyone who might tell me how to liminate this problem. I am making a dvd movie and it always plays on my computer but not in my dvd player on the tv. I can download a movie and it wont play on the dvd player and download another one the identical way, and it plays fine. andy suggestions? Thank you, ras.
