    If you're thinking about ripping and burning a dvd, try use DVD Decrypter. Most people here use it.

    What is the format of the downloaded file (e.g. avi, mpeg)?

    O.K., here's a simple way to do it:

    1) Convert the bin and cue into mpeg format with VCDGear (free):

    http://www.vcdgear.com/

    2) Use VSO DivxToDVD (older version is free) to convert the mpegs into dvd compliant format.

    3) Burn with Nero or whatever program you like.

    Leave the more complicated methods for the future.

    Good luck!

    Downloaded movies are often encoded in a variety of formats (e.g. avi, iso, mpeg .....). So you need to use the appropriate tools to deal with them. Just post again if you encounter another problem. There are many good people here to offer assistance. If you have time, you can also check out the various guides/threads to accumulate knowledge.

    Happy DVD burning!

    No problem, but be sure to start a new thread 'cos I'll be out of town for several weeks.

    Cheers!
