Apart from possibly infringing Rule 6 of the forum rules, downloaded movies are often notoriously bug-ridden, carry virus' or worse.
If lucky and they are mpeg2 compliant you should be able to author them into DVD structures with the combination of TMPGEnc Pro and TMPGEnc DVD Author as follows, much quoted from Setarip;

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)


**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress


If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")

"they will play on my pc but not on my dvd player"

What is the format of the movies (DVD, .AVI, .MPG, .MOV, etc.)?
