What format should I use to burn DVDs?

I've been torrenting movies lately and I get them in various formats such as .avi, .mkv, erc. I'm just wondering what format they need to be to burn them onto a DVD.

My computer has a built-in DVD burner and according software called Windows DVD Maker. I'm looking to be able to play these CDs in my Xbox 360, and I hope they'll be compatible with other DVD players as well.

Any answers or recommendations would be great, and I'd like to know a program I can use to convert said movie files.

Thanks a lot ahead of time.

 

Have you used nero...??

 

I think you should go for .vob

 

Is there a free converter somewhere? I'll use .vob, it sounds like it's reliable. I looked at Nero but you can only use the "full" version for 15 days. Please let me know if there's a free one I can use to convert to .vob

Thanks!

 

You can use OJOSOFT video converter.
Its pretty good and I am using it.

You should use Nero..........

 

Use Nero. it is best.

 

Hey you can burn any format on DVD.
But better you go for .vob extension.
First convert other formats to .vob and burn using NERO software & you are done.

 

Nero isn't free, that's the only problem. I need a free one, my burner should work fine.

 

thanks for the tips...

 

OJOSOFT is also not free =/

 

owh yes...is not free? so if we want use this application, we should pay?

 

Nero keeps giving me errors when I try to download the trial. I'm using Windows Vista.

 

As far as I know, nero is the best up to now.

 

you should using windows xp or windows 7 for good...

 

I am using Nero. You should try this.

 

.iso is the best if you want bootable dvd

 

.vob hehe

 

if you use nero latest version it will automatically convert file into DVD version.

 

hmm Nero is the best software to burn DVD.
