ive got a load of films on my comp that ive downloaded from kazaa and i wanna put them on vcd so i can watch them on my dvd on the big tv but problem is they are all mpegs, what can i use to make it so they will work on my dvd player?

i use a program called TMPGEnc Plus2.5
it coverts them into any format u want.

ahh just looked again they arnt mpegs i need to change them from .wmv to mpegs, cant seem to find that prog btw m8

think 1 called Ulead Video Studio does it and maybe (not certain on this) the latest Nero

try openin it in a hex editor, and save it as a normal file, thn type .MPG on the end, i converted an exe into mp3 b4, but cos it woznt musik, it didnt exactly work lol, but since .WMV and .MPG are nearly the same thing, and the open the same way, it shud work

EDIT: just changed an MP3 into WMA like this, so i can tell ya it works 4 musik, will try converting a vid file

EDIT AGEN: tried a vid file, works

cool n1 m8, now whats a hex editor?

 

[Neosparky]

if you're in explorer, extra, folderoptions, view, show extensions for known file types -> enable it
then just rename the file and it'll say something like "movie.mpg" just rename it to "movie.filetypeyouwant" like "movie.avi" press enter and it'll ask you something just say yes and if what nathan said is right then it should work
(translated from dutch so i dont know if that's 100%correct but should get you there, i hope...)
so you dont need a hex editor (i think)

the method i use to use works everytime but it takes quite awhile, use windows videomaker and put all the clips in and make a new movie and then burn it
