You say “they all work fine”,Are you using WMV when you watch these movies on your comp,Or are you using a different viewer? I know that I have trouble getting alot of avi. files to play right on WMV,So I watch them on my DIVX player. What I usually do is to convert the avi. to mpg. so I can burn it to a couple of CD-R’s.
It dosen’t play in all DVD players,But it does play in the newer ones.

You can’t use WMP as a substitute for CD burning software. It will not burn anything to CD as a file to my knowledge. All it burns is audio CDS. Get Nero Express, Winamp and Mozilla Firefox. Quit using Microsoft programs. You will have a lot less problems.

MPEG3 4mat is a PCM WAV audio. It is not a movie 4mat. Movies 4mat comes in either MPEG1,2 or 4. Read this tutorial instead.
