okay, i've gone thru the help & searches & i'm totally lost. anyone who could point me in the right direction it would really be greatly appreciated. want i want to do(tell me if it's possible) is burn the videos & movies i've downloaded on my computer. i have a regular cd burner. i've tried running them as data files, but can't get the program to actually open the folders i need it too(running the original hp cdburner program). i'm running win 98 se. have a 10gig drive & 64 ram. anything else you need to know or if this isn't possible would be appreciated.

A couple of quick questions. What do you want to do with these files in the end? Do you want to watch them on a standalone dvd player or simply watch them on your computer? Next, what type of files do you have (I'm assuming either ASF or AVI files)? Answering that will get you bit further to where you want to go.

i will be prefectly happy to have them only play on my computer. as for the files themselves, ummmm, not sure, think they are mpeg. downloaded them from morpheus. (i'm not at home right now so i proberbly can not answer that question right).
btw love the name!

If you are going to watch them on your computer go with DIVX. Utilize Gordian Knot, its an excellent do it all program.

One more question..what program are you using to burn the movies?
