Computer Woes

One of the most frustrating things to me is not being able to figure something out. First of all, if I can't figure it out right away I get upset and don't even feel like doing it. Yeah, I know...not the right way to handle things! Anyways, I usually keep trying and figure it out in the end.

This brings us to my dilema. Currently I have a bunch of .avi files of tv shows on my computer. I would like to put these into DVD format so I can watch a nice quality show on my DVD player. Sounds like a simple "google search" will do the trick. Everything starts out fine. I download trial versions of converters so I can convert my .avi files to .mpg which is the better quality file format.

Now it gets tricky. Each program is confusing in its own. Some converters mess up the file so it skips. I'm just glad I could try the trial version and not waste $30 on the full version. So, about an hour later I have my converted .mpg file. I then open my burning software(nero) to burn my dvd. To make a long story short, I find out Nero needs some kind of fix to recognize my new file and that requires about 3-4 more confusing steps. It just isn't worth it.

If this post is confusing to anyone, now you know how I feel. Why can't any of this be easy? No wonder it costs so much to get computers fixed!
