I've downloaded an mpg4 movie and would like to burn it to DVD. I've tried doing this is Creator 9 Basic at 6x -- the fastest option on the dropdown, and it's crazy slow. It's as if I can see frame by frame.

Obviously, I'm brand new to this. can someone point me in the right direction for help?

Also, ideally, I'd like to convert the file to play on an older DVD player. If anyone can help me there, thank you!

Since it is not throwing an error about copyright issues, it might just be your computer. The MPEG4 video has to be converted to an mpg2 video in order for it to be burned onto the blank media and play on a home DVD player. This takes all the CPU your computer can muster. You may just have to set it to do the task at night; it may be ready to go in the morning. Make sure you have a clean computer (no malware), have disconnected from the internet, and shut down everything else including your anti-virus.

If it's also been downloaded from one of the P2P sites, you could have wound up with something else on your computer
