So lost

[MontSport01]

Hello Everyone,

I know i am coming off totally retarted, but this is all knew to me. I am using Imesh to download movies. I saved the movie file onto my hard drive. Now the question is, How can I copy it to my DVD Writer or CD Writer ? I know I told ya all I am totally new to this. I have read on VCD and I am just not getting it. Is there somone out there that has the patience to help me out ? I greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all your help in advance.

Now you have to decide what kind of disk you wish to make.

If you want to make a VCD, you must make your file VCD compliant.
--If you have TMPGEnc, you load it there, select Load, select the VCD template, Ok, then start.

--Once this file is finished, you need a VCD burning software, like Nero, or if you like freeware, VCDEasy. You load it into one of these, insert your blank CD-R or CD-RW, and the end result should be a VCD you can play.

If you want to make a DVD, it is basically the same steps, except you use a DVD template, a DVD burning software, and a DVD writer. Any more questions so far?

Thanks for the advice. I used TMPGEnc to encode the file and it works till i get to about 7% then the program stops responding. Now I am not sure if the file maybe be bad ? Please help ! This is getting frustrated ...

Hang in there. Load the downloaded video into Virtual Dub. Select Video--> Scan video stream for errors, and let us know what happens.
