Alternative to Freemake?

[horsemom2]

I used gold Freemake Video Converter to burn all file formats, even mixed file formats, to a DVD movie.
Freemake recognized all of the file formats so not sure why it doesn't for you.
Can your pc play the downloaded files?

The only time Freemake failed was when I was doing other tasks on my laptop and probably put a strain on my laptop's resources.

could you possible be clicking on *DVD* as your source on top instead of *Video* to choose video files?

I guess that's the problem, I didn't use Freemake to download, I just downloaded them from youtube, but yes my pc plays them.

(gold) Freemake Video Converter will burn any video file(s) to a DVDr.
It doesn't matter where or how you produced the video files.
Maximum limit is about 4 gigs for standard quality

Open Freemake Video Converter
Click on Video on the top
Choose whichever files you wan to burn
Click on DVD on the bottom
(you can choose which menu you want before the burn)

Maybe when you click on *Video*, you are not going to the folder where your videos are stored or they may even still be in your download folder. Create a convenient folder and store the videos you want to burn there
You can drag and drop
or cut and paste the videos for a future burn to the new folder

If your videos are still not showing up on Freemake, select a different file type in the lower right corner drop down menu.



the wrong file type default may block a video

Thanks Barb!! I'm going to save all of this info, so thanks for going to all the trouble.

Barb has been wonderfully helpful about moving us (well, me, at least! ) from the Stone Age into the Modern Era!
