You might want to try Windows Media Encoder 9...

Be warned though, converting videos take a long time... especially to DVD format.

Answer 7

"Nero wont let me burn it" could mean one of two things :-

A) Nero doesn't recognise the file type and can't transcode it....

Had this a few times with (if I remember correctly) mpeg files - never found an answer so I converted to a different format before getting Nero to do its thing.

B) after Nero has transcoded it it won't burn the files to a disk...

Try burning to file, create a folder on your desktop and 'burning' the DVD files to there and then, when done, burn the files within the folder to DVD using Nero's 'burn DVD video files' option.

If it is that the disk keeps failing to burn then you may find that the speed that Nero is trying to burn is too fast (had this before with some dodgy disks...) so burning to hard drive & then putting them on to a disk lets you control the drive speed

HTH
