Greetings!
I could use some assistance in choosing a video converter. I have a downloaded movie in a MP4 format that I would like to convert and or burn to a dvd. Although the movie is on my document (video) file, when I click on the file it won't open and play even though I have the Windows Media Player. Instead, I get a message (snippet attachment) stating that Windows cannot open the file.
This is the first video file I have ever downloaded so this is all a new concept to me; however, I read an article from Digital Trends about how to convert DVDs to MP4 files in Windows in which three freeware video converters were recommended: HandBrake, Movavi, and WinX DVD ripper. I researched the 3-converters at Wikipedia and other online sources and found they are also capable of converting MP4 to DVD, but I still have reservations as to which if any of the three programs to try. I recall reading that some programs will install a browser toolbar which I prefer not to have.
Any suggestion of a converter program or advice about the use of the converter would be very welcome. My computer is an HP Pavilion with Windows Vista, she's old but still humming.

Quick Check on Sherlock The Abominable Bride and its not a free download, so you got it from a ripped source. We cant help you with piracy conversions back into its original DVD form. Sorry
Its $11.99 on Amazon

Okay, I'll simply skip the converting to DVD process, but should'nt I be able to view the MP4 on my computer without a conversion?

Yes, many, or most, free players read MP3 format directly.
One I like is VLC. Tofindit, jusat Goolge 'VLC' to find a download site.
