transferring a downloaded movie to a cdr

[johnnyshoes802]

I have been doing research. I found this forum very informative. I see all the compression info, I see the different formats. My main concern is. How do I get anything off my computer which I download from Kazza and make it so a standard DVD player will read it. OK I know I can buy a program, is there any freeware that will handle this?
Any Info would be appreciated

convert your files (in case they are avi) to vcd or svcd using tmpeg.
