Now I have Nero, which I still am not sure how to use, but everytime I think I have it right, it says that Nero does not support the file type I am trying to burn. Please help before I drive myself stupid! Thank you Ok, so I am completely computer illiterate and I am trying to burn some of the movies I have downloaded onto DVD.

It is limited, but you can create a simple menu for the disk. You can burn a DVD through the program, or build a dvd and save the VIDEO_TS folder on your computer, or a few other choices. I mostly like it because it's free. DVDForger is a great freeware utility to burn these files to DVD. It is limited, but you can create a simple menu for the disk.

I find it easiest to make my own location and to keep things seperate IE for downloaded software i have a folder labled "downloaded software" for movies you guessed it i have a "movies" folder. it is very important to manage these locations because movies can fill hard drives realy fast. you should also tell windows to show file extensions and to show hidden folders. this can be done in any windows explorer screen under view-folder options. once you do this you can see every folder/file in your computer. just be careful what you delete. if you want to see where graboid is storing your files go to file in the upper left corner then go to preferences. you can also change where they go to.

It's freeware/open source. Basically combines a bunch of programs through an interface. Seems to do a pretty decent job. Make sure you work through the preferences though, to set it up for NTSC vs PAL and a few other settings. Also, it doesn't do a menu, so (for example) four 30 minute shows on a DVD will play once right after the other, although you can use skip ahead or back, using the remote.

I had the same problem finding the files until somebody in another post pointed out that Vista kind of hides them. It's bured way under \users\your uservname\appdata (may be a hidden folder)\local\virtualstore\program files\graboid\tools\nntp\archiver I believe you can designate to store them in My Documents. See if that helps. Also, re: svideo and HD. The poster is correct, it's not true HD, but I ihave to say that it looks pretty darn good to my eyes! Are you running Windows Vista?
