I need help with torrents!

Question

I just recently learned how to download movies using torrents, but the 2 I downloaded wouldn't work. they were either .avi or .mp4, which won't play on my dvd player. How can I tell what the file format is before I download it?

Answer 4

Standard DVD players read the .Vob format, the files you have now are in AVI format..

I'd suggest you download ConvertXtoDVD - version 3

i summarize by sayin: its easy to use, and works perfectly.

It lets you burn multiple video files (including AVI, MP4, anything!) to DVD, along with amazing DVD menus.

I'm a movie enthusiast, so I've tried many DVD burning tools out there, they are rly many.. but only few do the job right.

My fav is Convert X to DVD!

i'll try guiding you step by step...

I)   Download n run ConvertXtoDVD by clicking here:

http://www.burner-software.com/AVI-to-DV...

II)  Drag-drop your video files onto the tool

III) Click the [Convert] button

and you're done! but there are also extra features like customizing the DVD menu, adding subtitles, and hmm alot of useful things actually.

I'm sure you'll love the tool. give it a try ;)
