Got it. I guess I will try them and see which one suits me better. Thanks for all the help.

I am starting to get the picture, give me a little time and I will be a pro. Question, a DVD player that supports divx, will it play avi files too? Are they the same thing? @caf4926 Do you know how to make a svcd with DVD Santa? I have downloaded it from your blog but it does not burn CD's only DVD's

Thanks a lot for all the advice guys, you are a really helpful bunch. As is expected my DVD player does not play avi files, so it looks like my best option is to buy a new player that accepts avi files. BTW Why are most torrents in avi format and not in dvd? In the meantime I will try this Santa thing and see how it works too. Cheers

I have looked at your link to the discussion and it seems quite interesting. What I cannot make up through the whole muddle is: for a newbie what is the best one to use for simple video viewing? Also what is wrong in having more than one player? Cheers

Thanks for the info Kamikze. My main objective here is to watch movies that i download from the web, so I am not too concerned about the quality and stuff. I do have a fairly new computer (less than a year) i just dont have a laptop, and my PC is quite far from where I have the TV. Anyhow, i will first try this Nero and see how this works. With a DVD burner will I still need a software like Nero or does it come usually bundled with the burner? Cheers

Thank you, much appreciated. I will do my homework and report back. Unfortunately I cannot connect my PC to my TV. One more question, if I get a DVD burner will I spare all this hassel?

Well I am now ready to watch my torrents in my TV. How do I convert these avi files into something my dvd player can read. I only have a cd burner and not a dvd burner, so is it possible? Or am I stuck to watching it in my PC. Thanks in advance for all.

Thanks it works great

I downloaded a couple of avi files for the first time, and I only get audio but not the video. Can anyone help.
