Normally the clips you download from P2P networks are in either DivX (.avi) or VCD (.mpg) format. VCD clips can be burned as VideoCDs (obviously) that work with virtually all DVD players. And as for DivX's, there's really no point to create DVD-Rs out of them, 'coz the quality normally sucks -- re-encode the clips to VCD format and burn to VCD and you can watch them with your DVD player as well.
