    I downloaded a film, which at first wouldnt play on WMP because of a missing codec. So I downloaded K-lite, and got the codec i needed, and it now plays fine, although all video files are now media player files instead on WMP !!!
    But when i tried to burn it thru nero, i drag it across to the compilation box, but it doesnt do anything, then when i click anywhere on nero again it comes up with an error box saying 'memory full'. I've tried other video files which i've burnt in the past and they seem to be fine, its just this one file.
    Does anyone have any idea what it might be.

    TIA

    It happened because Nero is a lame encoder (as we wrote million times, but all you, forum users, go on ignoring it) and probably cannot convert WMP --> MPEG-1/2. Therefore, you have to make WMP --> MPG first. TMPGenc will do (probably simple VCD or KVCD (needed only if you want to fit >80' movie, up to 120'-140' movie on a 80' CD-R - read the 'sticky' thread to learn about it) is enough, since WMP is a horrible format). Therefore you just need the free version of TMPGenc 2.5.
    After, you can use Nero create the VCD & burn. But avoid using it as movie encoder, please.
