Hey, I'm trying to figure out what the best way to burn DVDs is. I have some movies I've filmed with my video camera on my computer, in AVI and WMV formats. I need to know what format they should/need to be converted into, and what software I should use to burn them. I bought Nero Backup and Burn but I don't know the required format to burn with that software or if the software can convert the files. I thought about buying Nero 9, but I'm not sure if you can convert from AVI/WMV with that software. Please help!
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

In a nutshell, DVD requires mpeg-2 (mpeg-1 under certain restrictions) video with either AC3, LPCM or Mpeg-1 Layer 2 audio. Resolutions and bitrates etc can be found under What Is DVD in the menu to your left <-
Once you have encoded your video and audio, they need to be Authored into a proper DVD structure, optionally with menus.
AVStoDVD is a freeware application that uses the respected HCEnc encoder to encode video to DVD compliant specifications, and if you wish, to author it as well, including some basic menu tools (the new beta adds better menu by the looks of it).
The step before encoding is editing, where you can combine or trim clips to suit what you want to show. This can be done in Windows Movie Maker if your needs are (very) modest, or for a relatively cheap price if you want to look at Vegas Movie Studio, Premiere Elements or VideoStudio. One of these will be worth investing in if you have a lot of editing to do.Read my blog here.

I know that, but I also rip my own DVDs and want to know how to burn them in case the originals get scratched. It's not illegal if I own a legit copy.

Well, anyways. I burned a DVD and it worked fine. When I put the DVD into my DVD player, it played right away, but it had 2 large black lines on the bottom dividing the bottom 1/3rd of the TV into 3 boxes which sort of played the movie but it was distorted. My dad said it was probably from having other programs running on my PC while burning. Also, I put the DVD into a different player and it said something like: "Error.. playback might not be available on this disc."
Any solutions to these problems? -

Tough to post a screenshot of my TV.. Maybe I can take a picture with a camera phone.
