DVD Burning Software

[o803oVaDeR]

I need a good FREE DVD burning software. I got a few movies I have downloaded, I usually stream them to the Xbox, but now I am wanting to watch them in the other room. I downloaded Cheeta DVD burner, but it is not converting the files to DVD format. So the player is unable to read it. Any one know what program I need or where to get it? I do want to keep it simple, I dont need menus, chapters, or anything like that.

I would help, but this isn't my forte... not sure if it's the same as burning games for xbox, which is a bit of a process I haven't done in about 6 months.

Any one at least know what format the videos should be in to play on a standard dvd player? The files are avi right now. I put them on the dvd but my xbox nor my dvd player could read the disc.

only thing I know about xbox playing dvds is the process of burning games... simple, but quite a few steps.

found this on google.. just follow the steps.

just get on google and find a link that makes sense to you if no one else has any ideas. wouldn't hurt to find a forum online where people talk about this stuff. maybe even post it in nerdvana on the huddle.

but my go to strategy is to find forums where they focus on this stuff..

AVI? Not sure there is a free one, but you could get a "free" version of it, if you know what I mean.

I have actually used a program called "Convert XtoDVD" made by VSO I think.... before to do what you want, you can create menus with it, etc, and it worked pretty well.

you can find any software for free with know how (and not much of it).. just going to take doing sufficient research. I'd spell it out here if I knew, but I'll have to look it up to do so.

This is the software I'm talking about:

You trying to convert a .wmv, .avi, .wma to a DVD format to burn?

You should get "someone" to "acquire" you a cracked DVD Fab Decrypter. I think that does it.

But this site will help you the most...lots of advice and links.

I tried (unsuccessfully) to burn the first couple Game of Thrones .avi files to DVD using Windows Movie Maker and Sothink Movie DVD Maker... Both burned without error, and actually started playing perfectly, but then start freezing at random points, both in my DVD player and my laptop, during playback...

Haven't tried anything else yet, and it may well be the media itself that I am using to burn it to...
