How do I burn Winamp Media files to play on my DVD player

[higg]

Hope someone can help me. I have ripped a film that was an .avi format using Winff. It has saved it on my C drive as a Winamp file. I can play it on my PC OK (using Power DVD). I'd like to burn it to a DVD that can play on my Panasonic DVD player. I used the setting PAL DVD in Winff when asked to select the 'Covert To' option. Did I do something wrong? Should I have chosen another option?

I have Nero 6 and tried burning it with that, but it won't let me drag the file into the Video_TS folder within the Nero screen. Do I now need to AUTHOR the Winamp file so it is in it's own Video_TS folder? How do I do this? Do I need some special (free) software?

I'm afraid I'm a complete novice at burning onto DVDs, but want to learn.

Thanks in anticipation.

I don't believe there is a WinAMP file format. Winamp has associate itself with other video files, so that is what Windows now calls them.

If you used Winff correctly then you probably just have a PAL mpeg file. You still need to author it before you can burn it as a DVD. You could use Nerovision to do this, but it will just re-encode the file again, as it is a pretty stupid tool.

I would suggest GuiForDVDAUthor if you want a free solution, or you could use the 30 day demo version of Tmpgenc DVD Author.

Guns1inger - Your dead right, it is an MPeg file, not winamp (Doh!!). Thanks for the prompt response. I'll have a look at GuiFor... which I hope is pretty easy to get to grips with.

All the best
