Good Morning,,,

first time in tech.
I have downloaded some videos from youtube and would like to be able to play them on my stand alone DVD player, they play on my computer after putting them on a disk, My dvd player supports DVD-R, I know they will have to be converted, does anyone know of a free programme for me to do this, I already have a protected music converter but I wouldn't have thought it would convert video files as well?
thank you

Morning Joy (welcome to tech :-))

it would help to know exactly what formats your DVD player supports (or post the model number so we can check)

[Joy1]

ok I will chuck,I know it supports DVD/CD- I also have a Sharp RW 250, we got this when the DVD recorders first came out, that has to have the disk finalised before it will play it if I I have recorded from the television, the other is a bog standard Phillips cheapie, but it plays DVD-R and CD-R

Get your dvd manual out and see what format it plays - avi, MPEG, dvix or whatever.
Then we can tell you the converter you need. You shouldn't have to pay for it.

Movies: DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, (S)VCD
Music: CD, MP3-CD, CD-R/RW & Windows Media� Audio
Photos: Picture CD (JPEG)
Does this help barry??

Your player only plays true DVD format, so you need to convert to DVD.
Try this free program.
