Burning DVD's

[topogigo]

Ok then, i have got a media converter for downloading video's off the net. I want to burn some videos to send to my fiance in the US. They are region 1 in the states, i believe the UK is region 2. What is the best way to do it?
I can burn on to blank CD's or blank DVD's, i can use lots of different formats. I want her to be able to play them on a DVD player in the states, not a PC.

When you burn your own dvds they are region free.

It is only commercially bought dvds that are region coded.

AAh that is useful.
Can i burn dvd's from wmp? coz that is all i use, or shall i just use a blank cd and if either, what format do i use?
ta.

As far as I know, you can't burn dvds using WMP.

Your computer should have come with burning software if there is a writeable dvd drive.

Don't forget that you will need to use NTSC rather than PAL encoding for the US

Say i want to put my videos from youtube onto a cd what format will i use and would it play on a standard dvd player in the uk?

[Ethel]

Youtube vids are .flv

Most dvd players can't play those, so you would have to convert them before you burned them

I have got media converter as an add on to firefox, it does it straight away. i usually save them as mpeg or wmv, but i have a choice of lots. Which one will be the best to then burn them on a cd to play in a dvd player

Ethel is right of course, if the DVDs are created as region free, then they will play on any player - the player itself does not need to be region free.
