If I save a downloaded video file (say, one that plays in Windows Media Player) to a DVD in a PC's DVD drive, how can I then play it in a regular DVD player connected to the TV? Does this require special software or hardware? Thanks in advance.

If you've downloaded a video - for example, a .WMV, AVI, or .MOV file - you will need to recode it into a format your stand alone DVD player recognizes.

I use Nero Vision and Nero Recode. Nero Vision does a very nice job in converting video files, and I can add menus and backgrounds for each video. Nero Recode is good to taking someone else's DVD and recoding it down to what you want.

I like to download movie trailers off the Apple website and then use Nero Vision to assemble them on a DVD for myself. It's just cool how you can do things like that with this software.

Thanks very much.
