First you need to check if your DVD player is able to play VCD's. Not all DVD players can do that.

You can download TmpegEnc, it is free. Use it to convert your file to vcd compliant. You can read about it in the how to section. If the files you download is in a format not supported by TmpegEnc, you got some more readings to do in the How To Section.

I assume you have a CD burner. You can use Nero or Adaptec CD Creator 5.0 to burn VCD, so you can watch it with your DVD player.
