ok so now you have that awesome movie you wanted downloaded from my last thread, but there is one problem, you are wondering what in the hell to do to get it to play on your tv.
first make sure the movie you downloaded is about 700mb but not over 750mb
most torrented movies are around this size anyway
now you have to turn your file(most likely .avi) into a format your dvd player can understand, this is a LONG process(2-6hours depending on quality and computer speed) . i noticed i get better quality conversions if i am not at the computer as it is converting.
there are loads of programs out there for this, most cost about 30 bucks
i use a freeware program called "dvd flick" this is an amazing program and it works great for me
my advice tho is double check that the file plays fine and is of pretty decent quality

i will now guide you through the steps on converting it
1. open your newly downloaded dvd flick
2. then click browse on the bottom right corner of the window, now select where you would like the file to be converted to THIS IS IMPORTANT MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A NEW FOLDER BECAUSE IT DELETES EVERYTHING IN THE DESTINATION FOLDER, so dont place it on your desktop i made that mistake once
3. now hit add title on the top right, then find your file
4. go over to project settings at the top. once there go to the general tab and make sure that "target size" is set to the type of dvd you are going to be burning. odds are it is DVD 4.3GB, even tho your actual dvd says 4.7 still set it to 4.3 . now head over to the video tab. if you live in north america target format should be set to NTSC and if you live in europe then set it to PAL. set encoding profile to best. target bitrate to auto fit. now go to burning and make sure that create iso image and burn project to disk are both UNCHECKED. then press accept
5. now hit create DVD and you are done that part of it. now you just have to wait for it to finish
6. once all that is done you can just burn the files
now to do this you just need a program that can burn dvd files, basically all nero's do this.
if you are using nero find where it says create dvd, then just select all of the newly converted files and burn
thats it you are done
