Hi there,
Just wondering, gunna get broadband soon and was wondering, if i download a movie, i know i can veiw it on my PC, but is there any software out there (which is preferebly free to download) which can convert the file in to the format that a DVD player can read it (VOB i think) and write it on to a recordable DVDR.
Cheers for any help.

My DVD plays VCD's (*.mpg) 
Downloaded the entire Jackass movie in 4 hours, and dropped it onto a normal CDR.
Bargain!

You can burn A VCD file to make it play in a VCD compatable DVD player.
However you cannot just use Nero to burn a DivX(.avi) movie and convert it to VCD. You will need other software to convert

tmpgenc is a good piece of kit, even includes a time-limited mpeg2 encoder for dvd & svcd encoding, but for straight mpg encoding, it does a good job!
it used to be free, not sure if it is still
