The only way I know how to burn DVDs is to throw them in a fire.

I do a lot of DVD burning of movies that I've downloaded (just watched Gran Torino last night). I like Nero 7 and Convert X to DVD. Both are available (for free) at the same sites that your movies were.
Convert X to DVD is great for movies that are more than what may fit on your standard 120 minute/4.7 GB disc. It will actually compress them to fit on a single disc with very little loss in picture quality (I don't even notice it). In fact, I used this software for the movie Australia the other day and it turned out great.

I just used Disco's software. It did burn a dvd, but it won't play on my Blu-Ray or other standard dvd player. It will however play on my computer.
On the blu-ray the message is "Data Disc"
I went under multi-media, then create DVD video.
What am I missing?

DVD shrink can copy most DVDs and then you use another program like Burnaware to create the DVDs

I use Oxelon Media Converter" to change it to a dvd file. (i.e., .Vob file) the other easier program that would do this is "WinAVI video converter" you may have to get a crack for the serial but if you downloading stuff off limewire you know how this works.
also I would like to say that limewire is minor league. you need to step up to the pros.

Oldno, understand this can be a pretty open ended questions depending on how the file was originally encoded. Not trying to be a smart ass but its kinda like saying how do I go Canyonerring in Utah?
I understand this may not be an option for you ... I got so sick of ripping, converting, ect. ect.,,,, now I just connect my computers to my TV's. Download it, play it, and delete it

Still working on this
The convert X to DVD program said it will leave a watermark on the video.
