I tried searching, whats the proper format for watching music videos. Example, if I go and download a music video off of LimeWire or Kazaa, do I need to convert it into a certain type of file? Also, I'll be writing these files using a cd-r from my laptop. You can't write them as data disks, right? The Avic N1 wont recognize the disk.... Do you write them as regular audio tracks? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Also, recomendations on downloading music videos aside from LimeWire are also appreciated. Thanks again.

So just download the videos like regular mpegs and then try and find a converter to convert them to mpeg4 format? Then burn the mpeg4 formatted videos to a blank cd as a data cd? That would work for the Avic N1?

You will need a video conversion tool like Nero. The latest versions will allow you to burn any video file onto a CD-R to create a Video CD that will playback in most DVD players. Or you can burn a DVD video if you have the supporting drive. The DVD video is better of course because you can get approx. 30 high quality videos on one disc vise about 10 on the CD-R.

I don't think you can put a mpeg4 format on the CD-R. You need to use a DVD author software (DVDlab pro or TMPEnc DVD author) and convert the video to a DVD format and then burn it on a blank DVD.

I'll post the results, later today or early tomorrow I'm going to try burning the mpeg's (music videos) using Nero onto a CD-R by creating a video disk from Nero. We'll see what happens. Hopefully it'll work.

I am able to put ANY video format on a CD-R with Nero. The software automatically does the required conversion. You may need a plug in for your version. Try this resource. https://www.click-now.net/downloads08.htm

Thank you. I used to use Nero on my older computer and bought a new computer a few months ago that came with Nero. It must be the new version. Because to my surprise, I clicked create a video CD and it was as simple as that. We'll see if it works in the car with my Avic N1 but I tried it in my computer and it plays just like a regular DVD/Movie, it also works in my dvd player in my house. With menus and everything. Pretty cool stuff and simple too. Thanks for the input guys.
