to burn it to a DVD use nero7 press make own DVD video add that file an it will burn it in DVD format.
to watch it on your computer download divx codacs an play through Windows media player.
or just download VLC player that should play it.

yeah i tried downloading the codecs i downloaded avi, divx and xvid and it still would not play in media player. i think it might be a dodgy file, i imorted it into one of the programs and it showed the duration of the file as 00:00:00 and said something about not containing a video file. i don't know what it contains it appears to be 720MB of nothing!
