I downloaded a 7 hour program from you tube (in 30 parts!)
I realy wanted to put in on disc so I can watch it through my tv but It wont burn! I have tried 3 times with Dvd flick, it does it and says sucessful at the end -but theres nothing on the disc. the only thing i can think of is that maybe the files are encrypted? or could it be something else?
is there any way I can get round this please?
it is going to be hard watching 7 hours worth on the pc!

Hi It's not likely that files downloaded from Youtube will be encrypted. What have you done so far with those 30 parts?Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.0

What filetype are they(AVI,DIVX,XVID etc), do they need to be converted first
before burning to DVD."Gort, klaatu barada nikto"

Did you download them as MP4 or FLV? I'm not sure if DVD flick can handle FLV files, but if it previewed them (did it?) I suppose it should work. If it were me, I'd stick with MP4 files anyway for quality reasons.
Can the disk "play" in your PC, using DVD playback software?
Maybe just an incompatibility between the disk type and your DVD player? Choose a good brand of DVD, burn slowly (1x , 2x, 4x) for a good quality burn.Russia is HERE0 -
what's the program?
youtube vids are incredibly poor quality, encoding to a dvd will result in a bad picture on your telly, far better to find another source if possibleUtinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant.0 -

They needn't be too bad quality if you download as MP4, assuming the source material originally uploaded was good quality.
