I have downloaded several gigs of videos of my favorite rock groups through KaZaA. Most all of them carry the .avi or .mpg extension. I am trying to find out exactly, step-by-step, how to get these videos into a format that I can burn to DVD and then enjoy them on my home theater system. I have tried several other forums, but I have yet to get the step-by-step help I need. I'm just told to use such and such program to do one thing and then another program to do another, etc. ,but no one explains the exact process to follow.

I have Ulead VideoStudio SE 6.2, NERO 6.X.X.XX (whatever version they are now up to), VirtualDub, TMPGEnc (without the MPEG-2 encoder plugin) and several other freeware apps that are recommended on the www.dvdrhelp.com website, but I am so confused with so may people making so many recommendations, that I cannot get a clear picture of what and how to do this. I just want to take these videos I have downloaded and burn them to a DVD so I can see and hear them through my home theater using my standalone DVD player.

Please help me.

P.S. As this is Friday afternoon, if anyone can reply before Monday, please send a copy of your reply to racefan4@bellsouth.net so I can work on this over the weekend.
Thanks a bunch.

The Avi files have to be converted to mpeg files before burning a DVD---You need software that supports this. But seeing that you are illegaling copying these videos, you shouldn't have trouble finding the software to do the conversion.
