I've just started looking into this stuff about a week ago and I am very facinated but extremely confused. All this talk about Mpeg-1 and 2 and .AVI and stuff. Now I know what most of these different types of formats are like .avi and .rm and .mpg but what my real question is what exactly do I need in order to take an .mpg file off a news group for example and put it on a blank CD so that I can watch it on my DVD player?

Now I know that my DVD player has to have the ability to play CD-R/RW and I know that I need to convert a bunch of stuff here and there but can somebody please tell the easiest programs to use that will do both Audio and Video together and exactly what I need to convert file type *.* into *.* (meaning any video file into anything else) Any comments and suggestions are mucho appriciato! And if anybody knows where I can get these programs, please e-mail me and let me know!

p.s. I was also interested in making the menu stuff and the begining. I know that there are some prog's out there but what's good?

Thnx- Gudder
