    also which type of file should it be to download? (asf avi mov mpg ram swf wmv) are the choices I was given when looking at some movies on limewire. Are there better programs than limewire

    avi's are easiest
    just use dvixtodvd to convert them,then burn them to dvd
    you may need winrar to extarct the images/files once downloaded
    the files will look like this for example
    rar.001
    rar.002 etc

    Most of the formats can be converted to VCD (Video-CD), SVCD (Super Video CD) or DVD movies. Search http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/ for guides.
    Take care: this if often a process made on 2 steps:
    1) encoding the movie in propeer form (MPEG-1, MPEG-2; PAL/NTSC; eventually WAV or AC3 audio for greater formats...)
    2) authoring (MPG --> (S)VCD/DVD image ; burning it...)

    Just take care:
    1) MPEGs are either PAL or NTSC, if they don't mach your system the movie must be re-encoded or you'll look it black and white
    2) 100% of the DVD played play DVD and VCD, less then 100% play SVCD. Consult your player's manual.
    3) if you look on http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/196299 you'll see the links to many guids and some 'check' to do (like the one to avoid having audio out-of-sync by using some AVIs)
    Welcome to the club. Good work...
