I have an new toshiba Satellite L510. It comes with corel dvd moviefactory 7 and toshiba disc creator. I tried to use corel dvd moviefactory 7>import digital media>select my hardisk folder. But it only import the main movie and removed the menu, subtitle and introduction song. I want it to burn the whole folder but it don't. And I also tried the toshiba disc creator to burn one video from my VCD but it can't play on dvd player because it burn as data. Any one knows how to go about it or recommend an free application that can do the vcd and dvd burning. Thanks
Imgburn can burn dvd's.....it's free and about the only one I use. I am not sure if it can create vcd's, as I haven't had to create one.
http://www2.ashampoo.com/webcache/html/1/product_2_0710___USD.htm I use this with a external dvd burner at work,and it does a pretty good job. I got frustrated because my old comp xp and new vista didn't handle nero's cd burns. I tossed nero, tried this, and it burns data, and audio cd fine. It claims to do all the burning you need. spend cash on a higher version and it will create vcds, not just burn them.
ashampoo spammerware.. AVOID!!! the paid version doesn't do vcd anyway.. old versions of nero used to make them.. 4+5 but if I remember right you had to make the mpeg-1 file first. forget vcd.. I can't find ANY free applications to make the horrid obsolete things.. and if I can't find them they don't exist. They look nasty anyway..
You couldn't find one Paula? You have more experience in this than I do, and I figured at least someone might find one somewhere. Guess that answers the OP's question.
I'm sorry if anyone considers my suggestion spamware. Hasn't filled my spam box. It's one of their better programs. I found a portable version and use it, so no registration needed! VCD's have horrible quality, made video slideshows with them, before my dvd burner came along. If you drop $40-$100 you can get an external one, and burn it with imgburn, burnaware free,infrarecorder, or my favorite standby. I use convertx2dvd to burn my homebrew dvds. vso burning engine works great. Only complaint is imgburn requires a quick read on their tutorial to get it right.
