downloads

[happychappy]

Hi everyone. I,m very new to all this but here goes. I've downloaded a couple of films, (movies) One was in AVI and one was in MPEG2. Now I don't pretend to know what these initials stand for but, I'm trying to put them on to DVD using DVD shrink, but bugger me I'm just getting an error message. Is there anyone out there who knows how to rectify this matter?. Your Help would be greatly appreciated. I,ve tried using other programs like windows movie maker, movie edit pro, though all to no avail. Thanks again for listening.

dvdshrink isn't for those types of files, it is for backing-up commercial dvd's.
for an avi or mpg, you need to encode and author them to burn on a dvd.
