I downloaded an episode of the Sopranos from a P2P network (557 Mb). Now it
says it's a "mpg", when I look in Explorer it says "movie clip". How can I
burn this to a CD to play in my DVD player, not my PC (which plays it, no
problem)? I have the latest Nero but I'm not sure how to do this.

Youhave to convert it into DVD format (a set of standard, defined
directories and content files that DVD players know to look for).

Look at one of your movie DVDs bought from the store. The layout needs
to be like that....and the video file itself needs to be in the required
format.

DVD "authoring" packages let you do this. IOf you want to find
instructions and software, you need to use "DVD author" or "DVD
authoring" as search keywords.

Get something like
Winavi (very fast and simple)
cucusoft video converter

They take all the hard work out of it, basically click on the original
and put a blank dvd in the drive.

He said CD if so, then he needs to convert into SVCD format.

Nero should be able to convert it to a VCD.

Or an SVCD which any DVD player should be able to play.
Check here for some tips:

If you have the latest version of Nero, just run Nero Express (yuk) and
follow your nose. Be patient, the conversion may take a while.

The latest Nero has NeroVision Express. This is a DVD movie disc authoring
tool. Import the file into that and burn to DVD.
