Several General Questions - VISTA
 

THANKS to anyone that might help in any way. . . .

I continue to have several very aggravating problems that I cannot get
over, no matter how much I may think that I am doing the right
things.....

CD BURNING

I can open any number of programs and select BURN CD (yada, yada,
yad.) I go through all of the motions (Add photos, vids, music,
etc.,) and then, Select BURN (yada, yada, yada) and it seems that i
ALWAYS get problems, i.e., BURN not completed. This with RealPlayer,
Windows Media, Roxio, Nero,....etc. Can/Will anyone perhaps pick one
of the above and just outline step-by-step procedures for me (even the
most basic steps....do not assume that I may be doing even primary
things right because obviously...something is wrong)


WHAT DO I NEED. . .

. . . in order to convert most any music or video file (I know
that ALL cannot be converted in most cases, without an depthless
pocketbook) to burnable formats?


MP4

What is this? How does one get that file converted to another
vid file? Whenever I try to playback an MP4, it is always jerky and
slow.....


THANKS so much

You may be trying to burn a file that can't be read by the burner.

Have you tried to ONLY burn some MP3 files? Did it burn ok?

What software are you using to play MP4s?

MP4 is purchased music that is protected. You can play it if you bought it,
or if the person who bought it has "authorized" your computer to play it. I
don't know if anyone besides Apple sells MP4s. It should play flawlessly if
you use iTunes, which is a free download for PCs and Macs from Apple. If
you own it you can convert it to MP3 by burning to a CD.

By the way..... Do you REALLY mean MP4 or do you mean MPEG4?


THANKS so much

Hi!

MP4 is purchased music that is protected.

No, that's M4P. The unprotected version of these is known as an "M4A" type.

I think the OP really means MPEG-4...
