[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]I'm not looking to convert to AVI format. I'm looking to take an AVI movie and burn it to a DVD so I can watch it on my TV. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]I am looking for a (free?) program that will take a movie that is in AVI format and burn it to a DVD that will play in a non-computer DVD player (such as the one hooked up to my TV). This is proving to be a far more difficult task than it should. Through all my searching and downloading and testing of programs, I have yet to find a single program that does this with ease. Either I get cryptic error messages and the burning process never starts, or it burns the DVD, but it won't play. This happens with every program I try. There's got to be a simple way to do this without using 27,487 different programs that all seem to not work. Any suggestions? (I'm running Windows Vista, btw. No jokes. That's not the problem.)

[quote name='chibi-master']Okay, I just saw a commercial for a movie called "Zombie Strippers". People are REALLY getting desperate to shove gore and sex appeal into one, big, erotic package.[/quote] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]The movie is, in fact, a satire. It is a tongue-in-cheek black comedy that makes fun of movies that actually are desperate to shove gore and sex appeal into one big, erotic package. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]Personally, I never get offended by anything. Ever. By anything. Seriously. I'm so laid back and my sense of humor is so severely twisted that I find absolutely nothing to be offensive, no matter how shocking or crass it may be. As for "The Recession" causing people to swear more. Well, that's just ****ing retarded. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]I am just shy of seven years. My favorite memory? Not an actual memory, per se, but I enjoy feeling like everyone takes everything I say seriously (seriously meaning "in a sincere manner"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]). Word to the wise: Generally, everything I say should be taken with at least two pounds of salt, if not more. If it seems like I'm being mean, I'm not. I'm a firm believer in the doctrine of sarcasm. Other favorite memories... The events surrounding [B]Papa Smurf[/B]'s banning were quite hilarious. Also, the infamous first meeting between [B]Taperson[/B] and myself. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
