How to convert MPV to DVD question for Dickson?

Dvd burning?

• Good evening. today I bought an LG 18x super multi dvd rewriter. along with the writer came Power Producer and Nero. I tried making a dvd from a dvd movie i downloaded online, with Power producer but it didnt work. i played it in my dvd player and the image didnt fit to tv scale and had a rippled effect over the movie. i then tried to make another dvd from a dvd rip on my comp with nero and after the encoding stage, i got an error saying that we didnt have the right disk. the disks i bought are dvd+r 4.7 gb. the box and store salesman suggested this type of disk. so my question to you is, is there anything i need to do to the dvd files before i try to make a dvd. my dvd rips are mpegs. am i supposed to convert them? i am new to this and dont know how to make a dvd. any help would be appreciated.

  first of all that salesman is a idiot....if you want to burn dvd's and play them on a dvd player they have to be dvd-r's. As far as that it all depends on what format the files are in, I am not sure by what you have typed if you are doing it the correct way. But defenately one of your problems is the dvd+r. If you want to copy other dvd's a good software program is dvdfab...works pretty good except for crappy new sony's new movies.....anyway hope this helped a lil bit
