  • Assuming you mean you have pirated AVI downloads of files, Microsoft offers a very good service. I think, although memory may serve me incorrectly, you right click on the disk drive within my computer and select something like "burn to disk" - then you can select the AVI file from wherever it is saved on your computer and burn it to that disk. I find this takes an AWFULLY long time though (expect 3-4 hours on a decent i3 laptop with 3-4gb RAM). I'm sure there are better ways in which people will reply with.

    You could also consider getting a media player (search amazon for media player) and it will read a USB memory stick/sd card etc and play movies from that. Which is MUCH easier than burning a movie to disc everytime you want to watch something.

    I suggest you edit your original post then; the one with the 'e' on the end is populated with cam recordings and rips. In Italian.

    They are NOT pirated.
    I have done the burn to disc Bit to no Joy
    I have tried the windows dvd maker and got this message;

    The file c: \ user\ familes \ videos \ cleanskin.mp4 is not a supported file type and it cannot be imported.
    This film is one of many a friend gave me, the other films i have donwloaded and have hqdvix after them and i think they will work.
