new here assistance I beg lol

I have downloaded my movies and most of them just open in windows media and I can just watch them from there. However, when I go to burn them in em.Nero 6, it takes 3 hours to burn them. What am I doing wrong.

I have convertxtodvd, anydvd, imgburn, daemon tools, dvd shrink and nero.

I'm not sure if I have to convert, compress or shrink before burning. Could this possibly be my
my problem of my movies taking 3 hours to burn.

I'm new to this so I apologize for anything that seems so simple.

Thank you much

Any downloaded video has to be converted to MPEG2 with DVD specs to make a movie DVD. The time you're reporting is about right given your computer specs. If the files you're download ing a Divx or Xvid AVI you could just buy a Divx/DVD player and and most of those videos will play unmodified on DVD-ROM ISO format DVDs.
