How to burn on a DVD + R .avi file in windows media player or how to convert the file, so it can be burned
I'm looking to burn .avi files that I found in the torrent files downloaded using utorrent on a DVD + R disc. I noticed in several forums that most of the people seem to have problems in windows media player. Someone mentioned a program in Windows Vista that could be used, but I'm still in the stone age with Windows XP. I took some advice and downloaded a program called ConvertXToDVD, but I don't know what to convert .avi files to in order to burn properly and play on a standard DVD player.
Any advice would be helpful.

Windows Media Player may not advance to the location requested on the DVD.
I recorded using camcorder on the small discs of dvd toshiba - I think they're called 8 mm. It is a dvd - rw disc. I could see the disc on my dvd player. However, when I tried to watch it on my computer using windows media player, I received the message above (in my title) and also C00D116F error code and the disc will not play. I wanted to save the record that I had done on the computer, make some changes, and perhaps to share it on the web. This is solveable problem or I have driver or compatibility problems? Help, please! Thanks for all the contributions.

How to set Windows Media Player as default for ripping the CD program
IMesh
How can I reset Windows Media Player to be the default for ripping CD's? A few months ago, I downloaded IMesh to try. A month later, I deleted the application from my computer. Now Windows Media will not rip the CD that I put in. I checked the default music Ripper and there still IMesh as the default Ripper. I tried to delete IMesh again, but the default is always the same. Help!
You need describe what symptoms get any decent help - explain what stops you rip the CD.
As a first response, try to run these troubleshooters [those of "BOLD" seem the most relevant]. They will reset your Date last played info & info sides as these parameters are in the WMP library functions.
Control Panel, troubleshooting, hardware & sound, troubleshoot the audio recording & audio playback.

Read the section on using disks of ISO for the older image format or different CD players
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/burn-a-CD-or-DVD
If your computer is equipped with a CD or DVD burner, you can copy files to a recordable disc. This process is called burning a disc. By default, Windows Burns discs in the active file system format, but you can also choose to burn discs in ISO image format.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disc-burning-frequently-asked-questions
Why are there two different ways to format a disc? You can choose between the formats of live file system and mastered during the creation of a new recordable disc because each of these formats is used for different purposes. The default choice is the active file system because it is a more convenient way to create a disc. When you use a Live file system disc, files are copied to the disk immediately. When you use the ISO image format, the files are stored in a "transit zone" until you decide to burn the disc.
When you use the system format active files with rewritable discs, such as CD - RW and DVD - RW, you can also erase unwanted files from a disc to recover space, which is not possible with mastered discs. On the other hand, mastered discs are more compatible with older computers, previous versions of Windows, and other devices such as CD and DVD players. For more information, see which CD or DVD format should I use?
See you soon.

When I want to burn a CD in Windows Media Player, it shows "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to disk". What's wrong? How to fix?
I tried several times to remove the selection to burn and create a new a new but it keep "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to delivery" appears what should I do? What problem is it?Hello
1. what file format you are trying to burn?
2. have you made changes on the computer recently?
3. What is the security software installed on the computer?
If it's something you downloaded, it may be copy protected by DRM, in which case you may not burn it to a CD or DVD.
Here are a few things to try:
1. make sure that the disc is clean.
2. try a different brand of blank discs.
3. stop all other programs that are running.
4. make sure that the hard drive does not use disk compression.
I suggest that you follow these steps and check if they help to solve the problem.
Method 1:
Try to use the Troubleshoot utility to see if that solves the problem.
a. open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.
(b) in the search box, type "convenience store" and then click Troubleshooting.
c. click on show all and then click the Windows Media Player settings.
Method 2:
Select a recording speed (write) more slow for the CD burner.
Change settings for burning a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player
Method 3:
If you have any third-party burning software, I suggest you temporarily Uninstall it and then try to burn the disc using Windows Media Player.
Note: Reinstall the software after the trial.
Method 4:
Temporarily disable all programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-softwareNote: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.
I hope this helps.
