You need playback software that is capable of decoding MPEG-2 video.\n\nIf you are on Windows, Windows Media Player 10 can play your DVD for you.\n\nOtherwise, consider WinDVD or PowerDVD for playback.

It all depends... if you want to just burn them on DVD and save them for later viewing thru a COMPUTER then the methods mentioned above should work.\n\nIf you need that DVD to play on your regular dvd player, then it's very very difficult and complicated process.  As the first contributor pointed out, you can go to dvdrhelp.com/videohelp.com to see if there is some free software out there that can convert whatever format these movies you downloaded from the web into a standard DVD video format which is MPEG-2 720x480.  It gets complicated because it depends on the resolution and quality and type of format your movies are in.  If your downloaded movie is of bad quality and resolution, putting it on DVD will look horrible.  Something that looks great on your PC may not look great on your TV as you play that DVD.\n\nLooks for something like converting avi/wmv/mov/mpeg to dvd in the site above

What version of Windows media player you are using, If it is not too old, then there will be an option can called add to burn list. Once you do that , you will be able to burn the movie.\n\nHowever, i would suggest using other software that are much better in burning movies on dvd like nero

I have a cd-r in my dvd player with a movie right now and it works. You must use a file format that is compatable with the dvd player. I got mine from a friend so I don't know which format it's in but it's definitely possible. I promise. Though video is not very good quality. If anybody knows a good (possibly free?) converter w/o spyware I would like to know.

You need a program that would change it into VCD (Video CD). Like Intervideo DVDCopy 4 would do it. But if it's bigger than the CD it would need to be put in 2 CD's. DVD-Shrink is a good program but it may cut out the ending of the movie. It has happened to me alot that's why now I'm putting it into DVD+R with CloneDVD 2.

You can convert the .DAT files on the CDs from MPEG format, to something that Windows Movie Maker can recognize.  Check www.papajohn.org > Import Movie Source Files > Video > Discs - DVDs, VCDs, SVCDs, for details.\n\nOnce they are converted to an .avi file (with a standard codec), then you can import them into WMM, make edits and save them back out.

You need to use a software like imtoo dvd ripper to get it to a mpg, or avi format. From there you can post this file on youtube

I would check Afterdawn.com. They have multiple forums on how to copy DVD's

You might want to go directly to Microsoft for that, depending on the version you have. Dont download just anything or else you will screw up your player.\n\nGo to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/format/codecdownload.aspx

Yes you can, because Windows Media Player will play the dvd.

Try Windows Media Encoder (free download from Microsoft).  That will create a .wmv file. Then use your DVD authoring software (Nero, Roxio, Sonic, Ulead) to burn your DVD.

This worked for me, but usually you open windows media player and then go onto limewire, open up your library, and then drag and drop.
