    I have downloaded an AVI which is 664Meg in size. What's the desired thing to do with these files, further convert them to another format before burning or burn as is ?

    What are you going to do with it? Play it on a DVD player? Put it on a CD to watch somewhere else?
    This plan is so bad, it must be one of ours.

    Buy a DVD player that plays Divx/Xvid files.

    More seriously, use AVICodec to determine what codec it uses (probably Divx or Xvid). Download and install that codec. Watch your file.

    I see you don't have a DVD burner, so to burn to a CD you need to convert to mpeg 1 using something like TMPGEnc, then burn with NERO.

    Two of the most popular seem to disappeared from the shelves: the Philips DVP 642 and the Liteon LVD 2002. There are many others. Search through the DVD Player list here for Divx/Xvid/Mpeg4 support.

    Hello,
    tweedledee-I see you don't have a DVD burner, so to burn to a CD you need to convert to mpeg 1 using something like TMPGEnc, then burn with NERO.
    That's for watching it on a dvd player that supports vcd (check whether it plays cd-r or only cd-rw). If you just want to back it up you can burn the avi as is. It will only play on computers or divx dvd players. That way you won't lose the original source file.

    Sorry all.... I should have provided more info. Yea, I do have a DVD burner (LG GSA-4081B).

    The AVI is the Corrs: Unplugged clip from MTV.

    Looks as though I need to use TMPGEnc to do the job ?

    Yeah, but I think we still haven't figured out what the "job" is supposed to be.

    Where/How do you intend to watch it?

    A. DVD player--Buy a new DVD player that plays DivX (or whatever your codec is), or ReEncode (TMPGEnc would be good for this) and then burn to VCD or DVD.

    B. Computer--Leave it alone and just DL the codec and watch it with your MediaPlayer app (fill in w/ your fav).

    You need to give us more info...

    As well, what we need to know about the file is not so much the name, but rather the codec(divx/xvid), framerate, etc.
    And all of this can be found by loading the file into gspot or avicodec.
