File Conversion

There are two possibilities:

A You have a newer DVD player that says it can handle DivX. This will be pretty obvious, with the DivX logo on the front of the machine. This is the only player you care about watching on. In this case, you can burn the files directly to DVD as if they were data backups. Have Nero treat them as data, not as movies of any kind.

B You have an older player, or one that doesn't say anything about DivX, or you want to be able to watch with other/any DVD players. In this case, the movies must be converted. The DVD video format is very old and very inefficient compared to modern digital video encoding. The files that you downloaded will, after conversion, take up a great deal more space than they do now. Converting is very slow and will take hours. Nero has an application called NeroVision Express that handles this kind of conversion. Converting and actually burning are two different processes. You may want to do the conversion to a folder on your hard disk, rather than burning directly to disk. This is so that if there'a an error during the burning, you don't have to repeat the lengthy conversion process to try again, you can just burn the contents of the saved folder.
