I need help burning movies please

hello im new here
ok so i ripped my dvds (family stuff i was sent) onto my computer using wondershare and that made them mp4s i believe. so now i want to burn them onto a dvd. i have searched around for programs and what not and nothing seems to be working. i am stuck! ugh. is there a free program or something..anything that i can use that is quick and easy?

oh yea i already tried burn and it took hours and when it was done i put it into 3 diff dvd players and it said unable to read blah

Try Burn. For compatibility's sake, burn at the slowest speed. Some DVD players are picky about media brand and burn speed.

i tried that already twice and it doesnt work.

OK, that's the best freeware I know of for the Mac, if you want something better check into Roxio's Toast, but it's not free.

is a trial version for toast around?

I don't believe so, but you can read more about it here.

I use toast all the time to do what you are trying to do and it works fine. One warning though, it does take a while to do the conversion part from AVI, MP4 or whatever to a DVD format before the burn even begins. I would recommend VisualHub but they stopped making it. It's much faster doing the conversion.

It takes a long, long time to render video for burning to a DVD. Hours
