Use the DVD Recording software that came with your DVD drive.
Windows XP natively does not have a DVD recording program.

Use DVD Shrink. Compresses and decodes with one program.

Suggest that you check the specifications of your computer and player.
Unless you have a new combo drive that supports both DVD dash R and DVD plus
R, you computer will only burn DVD dash R discs.
You player manual will list the discs the player will handle. If the DVD
type your computer burns is not on the list, then you cannot do what you
suggest.

If the movie is smaller than 1gb then you may use UDF format to drop
the movie onto the DVD,
However some players don't like this format.
Some DVD software allows you to burn UDF disks.
If you can split the movie to 1gb chunks you can drop 4+ a bit on a UDF DVD disk
however you will have to launch each movie on your DVD player as they don't
automatically follow on.
USE something like NERO it comes with a wizard that takes you though the steps.
