Hi,

I am having trouble getting movies from PC to play on my DVD connected to my TV. They are tv shows in XVID format but burning onto VCDs doesnt work.

Am I doing something wrong?

Buy a DVD player that plays DIVX or XVID

Hello

You either have to convert them to DVD or VCD (takes ages but something like Nero can do it), buy a DVD player that plays DivX (suggested above) or a chipped Xbox.

I can recommend Cucusoft AVI to VCD/DVD converter and then use Neros Burn Video CD option.

one program to do the whole job for you

just put your avi file into this and out pops your DVD-R ready for your home DVD player....

Also make sure you have adequate CODECS installed:

I just got an Eltax 251 DVD player that plays DIVX. More importantly it'll play them off a USB stick as well as a DVD. So on the PC copy the file to a USB stock and then plug into the DVD player to watch. No need to even start burning CDs or DVD.

Was about £40 from Ebuyer. But they don't have them now so would have to look elsewhere.

Watching Xvids/AVI's directly on my dvd player is choppy to say the least though. It could be down to the source of course, but I use the excellent ConvertXtoDVD app as mentioned previously to. Then the output is alot smoother. It takes about 25mins to do a 40min TV episode at full quality.
