Ok... What I want to do is take my home videos, which are in .wmv format and burn them to a CD-R (not DVD-R). But all the tutorials I've looked up say I have to format the videos to NTSC, which a 16 mb video turns into 130 mb. So, I don't really want to waste a CD-R for 5 minutes of video. Is there anyway I can just burn the videos and watch them in my dvd player using .wmv, .avi or .mpeg format?

If it helps, I'm using a Toshiba SD-1800 DVD player. Any assistance on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Try tech talk...they are smarter than the average man.

PIRATE!

If you aren't willing to pay $30 for your home videos at Best Buy, you SHOULD NOT assume you have the right to COPY them using the God-forsaken DVD-R!

BAAANNNNN!!!! I demand he be banned immediately!

(PS: Nevermind me...I just got home and I'm not really that sober right now. I found it funny.)

hah. Funny. Although I assure you what I am doing is 100% legit. I filmed some arcade tourney matches and I want to make a video disc out of the matches. That is all. Completely innocent :)

Edit: I got too defensive to thank you for your help, AMS, sorry about that. I'm headed over there :P

Hahaha, no need to get defensive. It's been about a half an hour and I'm still laughing about my post.

...God I need coffee.

Since you also posted this in Tech Talk I'm closing this one.
