Help Burning Torrent files

[drrogers]

I have downloaded the first two seasons of Alias from a Torrent Site and have tried converting 2 of the episodes using WinAvi to Video file and then tried Nero and Roxio to burn to a DVD - no luck. Also tried converting to AVI file and buring - still no luck . Can someone help me with detailed instructions and perhaps a more targeted software to burn the dvd. Thanks

Solved the problem

Thanks for the suggestions - solved the problem by downloading Nero 7 and it is burning DVD with no problems.

Look for a small app called gspot. You can get it at

and a lot of other download sites. You right-click a video file, and open with gspot. It lets you know what type of video it is, (ie: xvid, divx 5.0, divx 3 lo motion, mpeg, etc.), lets you know if the file length is correct, and if there are any specialty codecs needed to play it properly, (eg: ogg vorbis or AC3 audio).

In some cases, videos will not play properly if they have the wrong file extension, (eg: an .asf file with extension .wmv).

Well, all that is fine and good but it is wayyyyy too complex, I like the simple method:

How do I burn DVD's? I use my trusty ol ZIPPO

I have tried all the converters and the best one I found was VSO. It is very easy to use and never rejects any AVI's like some applications.
