This might help. I haven't tried burning DVDs with it, but I know it's supported, and the software is free. |

I downloaded a few videos off of Youtube, and I'm trying to burn them onto a DVD, but I can't find a reliable program to do it with. Windows Media Player doesn't support DVD burning on Windows XP, I tried Sonic and it just froze on me like it always does, I tried something called FinalBurner and it set up the process to burn for nearly an hour and a half, and then as soon as it was finished, I pressed "Burn" and it crashed..... Winamp only burns CD's as well. So yeah, if anyone knows any good programs that are free (no trial crap please, they always screw you over by only letting you burn like 90 seconds of the video and waste your entire disc), please let me know. Thanks. |

I haven't used Windows in a while, but does Windows Movie Maker burn DVDs? |
|
Nero 7 is probably the best i have used, check it out, it may cost you but i'm sure you can find it for *free* somewhere |
|
Thanks for the help guys. I'll try Nero out later when I get a chance to... ahem, "buy" it. |

Give Ulead's Video Studio a look, they have a free demo download. Also, you might check out videohelp.com, I used to hang out there a lot, there is a lot of legitimate free software to help in all aspects of video and dvd burning |

I just tried out the Ulead's Video Studio, but for some reason, everytime after it's just started getting ready to burn, it gives me a Microsoft Runtime Error or something, and then it says that the program has been terminated unusually or something. Also, the videohelp.com site confused the crap out of me. I couldn't find anything about DVD burning on there. I'm having a really hard time trying to find something that works.... I didn't think it'd be this damn hard just to make a 30 minute video.... |

You've got 2 issues here |

The videos are currently in .wmv format. I put them in that format when I expected to be able to burn them using Windows Media Player, but that didn't work out. |
|
any chance of using straight mpeg2 |

I have a file converter, called Replay Converter, but it doesn't have mpeg2 as an option, only Mpeg4 Video or something. I have the files currently in both .flv and .wmv format, so is there anything I can do with either? Or it would it be easier to convert it to Mpeg4, or should I get something else to put it into mpeg2...? |
|
Ok, |

Intersting looking piece of software, I'll download and give it a go. I've been using VirtualDub to read in a lot of funky formats and then fileserving them out to TMPGEnc, this might save me a step |

Well, I wouldn't mind putting in a menu, but that depends on how much crap I'm going to have to go through to do it. I'm trying to just get this done as quickly as possible, but I would still love to know how to do it, even if only for future reference. I bought 25 DVD's, and I'm intent on using them. |

In VOB format....Does that mean you have all of your IFO files and stuff ready to go as well? If so, you can use DVDShrink to create and ISO image and DVDDecryptor to bur the image. |

Umm, lol. I don't even have a clue what an IFO file is. I'm assuming that DVDDecryptor is like a free alternative to Nero? |
|
Vob is a video container format (just like avi, mov, and flv) |

Ok, I tested it out, but unfortunately, it didn't work. The audio is fine, but the video comes in black and white, and the picture is like it's constantly scrolling down, if you know what I mean. Like the screen keeps moving down and then coming from the top. |
|
probably using a wrong resolution or refresh rate |

Well, it's four different flv's, ranging from 15mb's to 23mb's. I'm uploading them to FileFactory.com right now, so I'll post a link here when it's done. |

Ah, thank you so much dude. I can't thank you enough. I'm pretty sure that it works now, it works on my computer at least, I haven't gotten the chance to try it on a DVD player yet though, but I'm pretty sure it works fine. |
