-- Posted by afmc011 at 9:44 pm on July 9, 2008 I downloaded a torrent of Iron Man as a .avi file. How do I burn it to a DVDR so I can play it in my DVD player? DVDShrink is saying the file is an invalid filename and it won't let me shrink it. Any ideas? -- Posted by imSOFAKINGrad at 9:45 pm on July 9, 2008 lol at your avatar -- Posted by blufindr at 9:46 pm on July 9, 2008 lul at your avvie. i think nero does it. -- Posted by drifting at 9:48 pm on July 9, 2008 Nero can convert it. I think total video converter can also do it. If you have a 360 or PS3, you can just burn it to a disk. It might work just burning it to a disk with your DVD player as well, but not all (actually, very few) have that functionality. -- Posted by afmc011 at 9:51 pm on July 9, 2008 Well the problem isn't the format itself. It's that it's too big of a file for the disc. But good idea with Nero. Completely forgot about that. -- Posted by blufindr at 10:10 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from afmc011 at 2:51 pm on July 10, 2008 Well the problem isn't the format itself.

O_O it's too big? i assume you mean it's too big for a cd. in which case, a video converter will get it down to a slightly smaller size. -- Posted by afmc011 at 10:51 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 1:10 am on July 10, 2008 Quote: from afmc011 at 2:51 pm on July 10, 2008 Well the problem isn't the format itself.

When it's a normal video format like .avi, it sizes it in minutes. My DVDRs only take 120 minutes. I belie Iron Man was about 150 minutes. -- Posted by blufindr at 11:06 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from afmc011 at 3:51 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 1:10 am on July 10, 2008 Quote: from afmc011 at 2:51 pm on July 10, 2008 Well the problem isn't the format itself.

It's a small app just to quickly transcode and burn dvds
