computer guys i need you help

i am trying t o make dvds.

i have downloaded a bunch of movies, television shows, and some of my favorite cartoons as a kid.

my problem is this. i need to get them to burn on a dvd so it will play in my dvd player on my t.v

now i believe this means i need to convert the type of file that movies are.

i though nero did this on its own, but its not and i do a test burn and nero tells me that there is a good chance the dvd will not play in a dvd burner cause of the file type

all i did was select "burn dvd video"
selected my files
then clicked burn
then nero tells me it wont work in my dvd player

anyone that may know anything about this i would appreciate your help
