How do I burn MPEG videos that I have in my pc onto DVD so I can watch them on my tv? Do they have to be converted 1st? If so, How?

Final Cut Pro/Adobe Premiere is standard for this but they are expensive apps.

...Although they make free converters that you can download.
if its a AVI file, google AVI to MPEG converter. Most have multiple options. If you still have trouble let me know.

The videos are MPEG format. When I put them on DVD, my DVD player won't recognize them.

Did you go and download and install the software?

DVD's for tv are NTSC US format.
I have a dvd player that can play mpeg, avi, ntsc formats .
For pc's you need to get and download the correct CODEC for the player then you should be fine. there a plenty of mpeg codecs out there. I thought Media Player had one in its CODEC pack

Sounds like dvdflick will do what fishaholic wants (to burn a DVD playable on any player). One thing to note is that if it's an ancient DVD player, it won't be able to read DVD+R's. Use DVD-R for best compatibility...
