How Do I Put A Video Torrent Into A DVD Format?

Special P

First, I think you mean you downloaded the torrent. That means you brought it from somewhere else to your computer. Uploading means you sent something from your computer to somewhere else.

You can't just play a downloaded torrent from the files directly. They must be burned onto a CD or DVD first. For a video it's going to be a DVD most of the time. There are a number of programs which do that but probably the two most popular and easiest to use are Nero and Power ISO. If you get Nero, try to avoid the newest version 7 and get version 6. 7 is not an improvement in most people's opinion, takes up a huge amount of disc space compared to 6, is much slower, and uses more memory. (Read the reviews) Both are available almost everywhere, including the same way you probably got the video. But torrents are notoriously infected with viruses and other bad things and are illegal in the way that most people get them. So if you did not virus scan the video file that you downloaded, do it now before you do anything else with it with at least two scanning programs - one of them a specific virus scanner and the other SpyBot (free - Google it) Unless you are using BitDefender or Kaspersky - then the one scan is enough. If ANYTHING shows up on the scan immediately delete the entire file, empty the recycle basket, and then scan the entire computer. If the computer comes out clean, consider yourself lucky and stay away from torrents. If it doesn't you have more problems than this question.

The directions that accompany Power ISO are self explanatory and less than 15 minutes after you set it up you will have likely burned your video to DVD and will be ready to watch it. Nero is a bit more complicated - not a lot, but noticeable.

For what it's worth, many people find that a media player called GOM is a much more versatile player than WindowsMediaPlayer. It's free (Google it) but DO NOT make it your default player until you have tried it a few times. You can always use it to play a video if you want any time, and it plays almost every format which Windows does not; has size, contrast, brightness, color, and playback speed adjustments and more.

SRT means subtitles by the way. If the video is in English, leave those files out. If not, only include the language that you need - but now you are looking at another program to insert the subtitles. Maybe too much trouble for your first burn.

Good luck - once you've done it once the whole process becomes quite easy.

What you need to do depends on the types of "little files" which got downloaded. If you're lucky, you have a folder named VIDEO_TS, and maybe one named AUDIO_TS, which you can copy directly to DVD as data files. Or, your "bunch of little" files maybe compressed files (i.e. .RAR) which first need to be uncompressed before they're viewable. In the end, if your files are video files (i.e. .MPG, .AVI, or .MOV), you need a program like Nero to burn them to a video DVD.
