format issues

[maddi.noir]

Hi guys

I have downloaded several Fitness Dance videos off of Youtube using zamzar, and would like to put them on a DVD so i can watch it on my dvd player.

My question is, will the 3gp format videos burnt on to a dvd play in a dvd player?
Also, do i need a special program to burn it on to the dvd?

Thank you

No.
Convert to DVD-Video format.

You need VirtualDub, a few plugins/filters for it -- all free.
Then export to AVI, or frameserve out
Convert to MPEG
Author to DVD, burn.

There may be some crappy "all in one" program, but quality generally suffers. It will look really bad without some standard attention in VirtualDub, bit of filtering.

Also try super for the conversion ... no extras required

You can use Zamzar to download and convert Youtube videos directly to avi. Then burn the avi file to a CD or DVD. Most newer DVD players will play avi. Or just copy the avi to your USB memory stick if your DVD player has the USB jack. I have a cheap DVD player with USB jack I'll give to you for free, but you have to come to China to get it. Bought it at Walmart for $18 and it lasted a year before the spindle motor power supply electronics broke. USB jack still works though.
