viewing donwloaded torrents

[dave85]

Hi,
1) I recently started downloading using torrents and havce found that with all the videos i have downloaded, i can hear the sound, but not see anything using media player and nero showtime. I think they are .avi files.

2) also, how can i put them onto dvd??

thank you so much for ur help!

Hi newbie dave85,

Welcome to the forum.
1. In order to watch avi files use other players like:
KMPlayer or GOMplayer or VLC (all excellent freeware), because they all have codecs needed to play avi files.
2. To put them onto DVD - just use Nero or other burning program. But if you wish to convert them to DVD use VSO DivxToDVD (freeware) or ConvertXtoDVD (shareware).

Technically, what they have are built-in decoders - they don't rely on any (standalone) codecs. That will allow you to watch them, but if you want to convert them into anything else, you better get the proper codecs installed (unless you use a program with built-in encoders too).
