    Most of the time Torrent files are on Region 0 for all players. Keep in mind, some DVD players and DVD recorders play Region 0 in colour and some in black-and-white but up-to-date machines are sorted where they all play Region 0 in colour. I remember Sony couldn't handle Region 0 for some years but now the new models can. I mentioned Region 0 because when people copy something it rips to Region 0 and then they upload unless the odd ones chose a Region.

    When you mentioned WINRAR, are you saying they are WINRAR files like a ZIP FILE? If so, you'll need toi download WINRAR to extract the files out. You can't burn a WINRAR file onto a DVD disc and expect the DVD player to understand it because can't reach any DVD files. It can only read through a VIDEO_TS folder.

          This is because the uploader coverted them to ISO file before unzipping them. You need IMG Burn to burn to DVD. IMG Burn is free software. Click here to download the software. I know what mistake you made, you burnt an ISO filefile to the DVD disc and that is why it won't play. IMG Burn coverts the ISO file to the DVD files where the DVD files are inside the VIDEO_TS folder and then your DVD player can play the DVD.

            ok when i download it, its stores as winrar then when i open it to extract it converts to an iso. I already have image burn and this isn't the first time i've did it this way but usually the the torrent movie the same then dvdr but the ones that give me problem for example would be Meet Dave R5 Dvdr when i burn it using image burn it burns to disc but will only play on computer. On dvd player it says exceeds limitations so what can i do if you can explain a lil better please
