wmv to dvd

[rupert the dog]

I've downloaded some stuff from the BBC i-player, which is wmv format. Can I change it so that I can play it on my dvd player, which has a usb input - i.e., download to pc, convert to dvd (whatever), copy to memory stick, and then plug memory stick into dvd player, and, er, play?

Is the BBC player DRM protected?

[Road2Ruin]

Yes the BBC iPLayer stuff is DRM protected but there are programs out there (free ones at that) that will strip the DRM off certain files. Its then a simple case of using a program like Nero to convert it to a dvd. Takes a while but does work. Not sure how good the quality of the iPlayer stuff is though.

often get educational movies off the net, they might be 700k, whilst a full dvd is about 4.5 gb, so guess what gets chopped ? quite a bit of quality

pit the op not have the ability to get a lead from pc to the tv ?

DVD Santa is quite good and easy to use. or ImToo DVD creator, free trials available of them both.
