    Default Video Formats

    I'm burning some videos to DVD, but I have to convert from mp4 to a supported video file format, which is fine... but which format should I use? Which gives the better quality? .mpg, .avi or .wmv? Or are they all about the same?

    Si.

    The television and therefore DVD standard is MPEG-2, Si.

    If you want to play them in a normal DVD player you'll need something like DVD Flick to convert them to the right format and author a DVD.
    Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?

    If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

    Personally I use ConvertXtoDVD - great for YouTube clips!
