burning issue with media player11 leonessity 11/25/2008 9:16:01 PM I downloaded a few movies, went to burn them only to have an error occur saying the file is too big. Can I reformat the file to allow it to fit, and if so, how?

Second you've given almost zero actual information here. What are the downloads, size, format etc? And since when has WMP11 burn video (to disc) anyway? It can officially burn AudioCD's and MP3 CD's - that's it. It can also transfer video files to supported portable video players. Without any additional information I can only guess that the "movies" you have downloaded are VCD/MPEG4 images of around 740MB, which will only fit on a CD when burned with overburn which none of the built in software of Windows supports as it will only work with certain brand media.

RE: burning issue with media player11 maniclibrarian 11/26/2008 12:13:02 AM If you have WMM you can publish the movie to your computer and then burn them to disc with Windows DVD maker, if you have Windows Vista. It all depends on the size of the file also. I've only ever published up to a 300 MB file and it compresses it considerably; I know this because I sent the video through email and my ISP will only send files of up to 10 MB or less (at least that's what they tell me). Are you running Vista? If so, try that. I have been with Vista for a year and have forgotten the features of XP....you probably could burn them through WMM in XP also but I'm not sure.
