Film Downloaded unable to Burn

[frator]

I bought an external DVD R/RW recently. Set up seems OK My computer recognises New Drive as E. The Film file type seems to be DVDSCR.AC3.XviD
I can watch the film on Windows media player and if I move the mouse over the file it says Windows movie. I want to burn the files to Dvd but don't know how. Ive tried using Nero(oem) supplied with the drive. When I try to move files to E drive it says no accessto E. Normally I can move files to write to a CD to the D drive but these files too big for CD (1.35gb) but wont move to E drive. Can anybody help. I am going slowly nuts.

That's illegal. Makes baby jesus cry. Win2win wouldn't know anything about that.

1st what is the sorce of the film? If it is a full length film from a commercial DVD then it will not fit on the DVD you are trying to copy it to as commercial DVDs are double layer and normal blanks are only single layer.
Also Nero will not bypass the copyright protection.
It is possibal to get software that will get past the protection and compress the files to fit a standard blank DVD but the sites you download them from usually give you a few viruses to go with it.
Excuse spelling it`s late.

You need copyright busting software.
Compression software that does not lose quality.
You also need DVD authoring software to convert from DIVX to DVD format.

It is usually quicker and cheaper to buy a copy.

Thank you all for your suggestions and help. It is a 2hr movie downloaded from "Bitcomet" site. Ive got rid of the viruses etc. The film is not yet on release on DVD in Ireland, maybe in UK. Part of it was made in my Hometown (village) and many locals got jobs in crowd scenes. Bitcomet is a PtoP file sharing site I assume. Any further suggestions (not the rude ones) would be appreciated.

Do you want to burn it to DVD to watch in a home DVD player? If so, you will need to convert it from its current XVID format.

just run it through dvd shrink that removes any copyright and converts to a form that's writeable in nero

Try and pick yourself up a copy of VSOdivxtodvd, there is a free version kicking about..try the place you got the film, great little prog :)...this creates the VIDEO_TS folder you need then use Nero or whatever you need to burn onto a blank dvd

Thanks for the tips. Found a converter on Google called 007DVDCreator it converted the files and then spent 2 hrs stuck @ 99% of the burn. I stopped it at that point. Thanks Piggy&Skunkybob, I will search for those progs later.
