What do you want to know? Cd or DVD writing? What discs to use? What speeds to burn to? What are you writing to disc? is it for a pc or dvd recorder? etc.
The more info you give, the increased chance that someone is likely to offer some assistance.

I would like to know where I'm going wrong, coz I'm sure I am...
I use a Pc, Running Vista home basic.
At the moment, all avi files that I download, I convert to mpeg2 so that my DVD writing program (cyberlink dvd suite- came free with the LG external dvd writer) will burn it (any other format and it doesn't recognise it).
I notice that nearly all the files I download are tagged CD1 and CD2 etc... in +- 900Mb sized files.
I have heard that burning these video files to CD is more common, and would like to know how to go about it...
I also have ashampoo for burning, but am not that familiar with it yet...
I have gone through sooooo many disks trying to burn so that my home DVD player can read them, but so far to no avail.
I have a bunch of Memorex CD-R and Memorex DVD+R 's that I need to fill up to ease the pressure on my External HD.
Is that what you need to help...?
Thanks for the responses (and the wit - RED)

for me what works is converting them from avi to mpeg 2 (using total vidio converter) both files come it ant around the 700mb mark. mpeg2 is usualy a little bigger, then i just burn em to disk 6 at a time using neros make data disk option.
most of the time the results are fine but occasionaly the audio goes out of sync.
the other option is 2 films per disk and there transcoded into lp dvd's takes me about half an hour but not every 1 has my rig, this would take a p4 up to 4 hours.

Standalone DVD players are unlikely to be able to read video files burnt onto a CD even if they fit on it ok.
Some DVD players will only accept DVD-R or DVD+R, not both.
The disks also need finalising before they can be played.
Nerovision express does all that is needed.
If you search through the Tech section there has been a lot of help posted in the past about burning DVDs.

Will anything other than Nero (maybe something I have) finalise a video CD ? My DVD player does play video CD's ie:a CD with a film on it (don't know if there are different formats of these).
I'm basically trying to find out if I can accomplish this with the tools I have at my disposal, without having to purchase Nero.
What format / file type am I supposed to try burn as a Video CD...?

The Video CD format is different than normal DVD format. It uses mpeg1 not mpeg2.
