Question about DVD burning

[Reverend_Smitty]

I'm trying to burn some video files on my computer to a DVD and when I bring up my DVD burning program, "Sonic MyDVD" it says my files are not supported. The files are listed as "Power DVD files" and they work fine when I play them on the computer. Do I have to convert these files to something else? How would I do that? Do I need a separate program to do that?

Or should I just get another DVD burning program? If so which one?

Ok that was more than one question but any help here would be greatly appreciated!

2. What kind of videos is it that you're trying to burn?

3. It's a concert I found online...

when I downloaded them they came up as "power DVD" files. I know a lot about audio files but I've never played around with video, so I'm quite lost

4. What is the extension on it?

My guess would be AVI?

In any event, what you would need to do is convert the file to mpeg-2 (or 1, I forget which is the DVD format) then use a program to author it, and then use any burning software you want to burn it. That videohelp link that was posted above seems really helpful, so hopefully you can find the info there.
