Obviously you will need a cd-writer to write that file (and anything else) onto CDs.

Install the required codec.

To find out what codec that you require, use GSpot.

cheers i think i tryed that gspot thing but never worked

[caitsith]

i used gspot and it said it is not a valid avi file - file type unkown
so what do i do know?

Can you open the file in Virtualdub? If so, check the FIle Information and post what you see here.

well ok ill download that and do a screenshot

[caitsith]

when i try loading the avi file is says cannot determine file type of [filename] ....avi

Looks like you have a non-AVI (nor -OGM) file there. It could be a number of formats, including RM (Realmedia) , QT & MOV (Quicktime), VIV and such. Try using the respective players for these file types.
