Question

I am interested in downloading a Mother's Day video file from Evangelize.com. Will this immediately email to me in time for tomorrow? or Should I wait about taking a chance on the purchase?

Thanks,
pa

When your purcahse is completed, you will either be redirected to a download site by link, or sent a confirmation email containing a link allowing you to download the file immediately. You also get a couple of retries if the download fails. Pretty seamless and immediate.

PG,

Can the downloaded file be transferred to disc?

Thanks,

I am not PG, but - it can be. a couple points of note, though.

it will be a video file (There are many codecs/kinds). so that file can be copied to a CD or DVD as a data file. then copied to another computer and if it has the appropriate software (codecs), it can be played one the other computer.

I am guessing that you are asking abotu making it into a video DVD, though. and the answer there is also a qualified "maybe". You will have to have DVD burning software on your computer (assuming you have the DVD-burner hardware, and not just DVD playback capabilities).

DVD burning software companies also vary for what video file types that they will support to directly burn to video DVD without using a third-party encoding software. (sorry, it's not just an easy yes/no answer).

I download files like this to play at church all the time. When you purchase, the file will download as an mpg, wmv etc type file. I'll download and save it to an external drive like a jump drive. Depending on the type of software you have at church to display songs, it may import. I use EasyWorship. I can pull in any wmv type file right into my program.

However, if you are looking to burn it into a playable DVD, Rambo is spot on there.
