what kind of dvd/blue ray players are you looking at? the ones I see are all well beyond the cost of nero. I have a newer blue ray player (2 years old) and it will not play the file as it is on the computer. it has to be converted first. I've only seen a few that were in divx format. the rest of them 99% of the time they're in a .MKV container. besides, I'm not having issues watching the videos, I don't need to play them on a home player. my computer has a hdmi out I have hooked up to my tv. I just want to know if anyone knows if nero will burn these kinds of files (the conversion is the catch not the burning)
