Hi Alan: When I choose audio I get three choices, make mp3 disc, make wma disc or make nero digital audio disk. If I am wanting the video also to be shown when viewing the dvd, which of the three audio formats would you try? I confess I do not know anything about nero digital audio. Yes, the renamed mpg file played just fine with realplayer on my computer and I received both audio and video. Thanks. Liz Honestly, I do not know about the copy protection thing; this was a movie I downloaded off WinMx. _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alan Clendinen Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 3:17 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: re: burning movie dvds Liz, I don't think simply renaming the mp4 file to mpg will work. I would choose either WMA or nero digital audio DVD. Yes, it should give you both video and audio. Just make sure you choose the audio format, not the data format when burning the DVD. On question... If you have this movie file on your computer's hard drive, can you play it from there? If it can not be played from your hard drive, then there is something wrong with the file. Do you know if it is copy-protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM) software? If it is, that could be the problem.

I tried renaming the mp4 file as an mpg file and at least the title of the movie apparently appeared although no sound with it. Should I try this file again or maybe I'll find a different software for decoding. Thanks. Liz No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
