video format to play

[upup]

Hi, I downloaded a movie.

To which format and with which program do I convert it. I got nero, but its says my temp folder is to small. Got plenty of hard disk space left.

My wife want to watch it on TV. Not computer with vlc player.

Is it a TV with a built in media player? What formats does it support?

You can use the free Xmedia Recode to transcode: http://translate.google.com/transla...p://www.xmedia-recode.de/download.html&anno=2

Erm. Sorry, I haven't used a DVD player in many years, nor ever tried to make one. I'm out.

On the upside, the OP can't possibly give less information.

Most likely anything you use has to be in XviD (or DivX) format, which means it will be an AVI file.
The external storage also has to be formatted to FAT32 format (Which means no files larger than about 4GB).

Ja, would help if he at least tells us the file format (or extension of the file) he downloaded...

Xvid and it seem I need .vob
hope it seems ok.

Give us the model number of the DVD player. You can read it off the tag at the back.

Did you try playing the Xvid File already through the DVD player?

How are you connecting the file to the DVD player? Through a flash disk or a USB drive?

I wanted to transfer .mkv to dvd after a few trials with different so called "lossless" convertors that was a b@llsup regards to sound, video and quality I found this little gem.

Transfer and encoding then burning to standard DVD took 2hours plus for a 6.5GB bluray .mkv file but the result is very good.

Yep, according to the manual, it only plays DVDs... it doesn't have a media player option.

So you have to convert any videos that you downloaded to a DVD.

Use this Free program.... http://www.dvdflick.net/

Or just use Nero to convert it to a DVD. (since you already have that installed).

.wma is an audio format ... you are thinking of .wmv

You can pick up dvd players with xvid/divx support for dirt cheap, most probably the least hassle.

This dvd is part of a sound system. Will use the prog and play with nero, I use version 7.

Use FreeMake: http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/

Convert video free to AVI, MP4, WMV, MKV, MPEG, 3GP, DVD, MP3, iPod, iPhone, PSP, Android, rip & burn DVD, convert to Flash FLV & SWF, burn Blu-ray, and upload to YouTube with our free video converter!

I used this in the past and it works really well. Quick converting as well, but I guess that also depends on your PC specs.

[Edit] Just tried the software now. It will create a simple menu etc for your DVD video.

Dvdstyler can also convert most formats to dvd & it's also free:

ConvertXtoDVD4 is very easy to use and works well for my needs; use the 2-pass option for the best results, not free though
