i know this is unrelated to hardware at least not directly but the digital... forum doesnt get as many regulars. i download a lot of movies with P2P (Shareaza), but they are beginning to show their footprint in my hard drive's space. is there any way to convert them to DVD format for a DVD player, so i can burn them then delete them off my hard drive? already tried Nero OEM (came with my DVD writer), it declares i need some other Nero product for conversion (naturally). and the DVD player wont read them if i burn them as data (long shot but it may have worked, obiously not though) so my question is: how can i convert these DiVX encoded AVIs and plain MPGs to DVD and burn them as a DVD video so i can delete them off my computer?? thanx Preform regular PC maintenance to keep your PC running like new.

I use this DVD player, it can play AVI MPEG DVD - almost ALL video types. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000204SWE/103-7528762-1934246?v=glance&n=172282 I just burn data disks (cd-r or DVD) with Nero, and it plays perfectly. ...and for $55, you cant beat the price.

That Nero product it says you need might be freely downloadable from their web site. Check it out. Sorry, I do not check for private messages

Burn them to cd-r disks.

burning them to CD-Rs is still a problem as my DVD player wont read AVIs/MPEGs, regardless of media they are on becuase i already tried that. i may buy that DVD player it looks pretty sweet but not right now. will the Nero product i need be able to convert the AVIs that are DiVX encoded??

Hi converting divx to anything will reduce the quality of video , but if you must; http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/divx_with_subtitles_to_vcd.cfm better to buy a divx dvd player.
