I've recently downloaded a couple of video files from a torrent client and I want to burn them onto CD-R (or DVD-R) so that I can play them back on TV using my DVD player. I've done a few searches but I still have not found any success. The first movie is divided into 2 files and the other is only 1. I tried to check the type of file they are and all it says is "File Type: Video Clip" so I am assuming they are some type of mpeg layer file? I am using Nero 6.3 and have tried creating using Video CD and Super Video CD but it takes forever only to then say "not enough space" when trying to burn onto a CD-R and "invalid disc format" when using a DVD-R. Can anyone send me some step by step instructions on how to do this? Thanks in advance!
Update your nero to newest version 66018. Get package 1 and 2. Then use vision express to do what you want with them.
thanks... well i was able to convert my avi files to dvd format and I burned them using DVD Shrink>Nero 6. I would really rather burn the avi files I download to CD-R because most of them are around 700mb per file anyway. I want to save my DVD-R disc for real DVD backups. I tired burning a SVCD with Nero onto a CD-R but the process failed. Nero encodes it successfully to 100% then prompts me that the media is not big enough to fit the file. The file is only 700MB though so I dont know why it would tell me that. Anyway, any further advice is appreciated!
Encodeing will change the file size. If you just want it to be an avi on the cd just make a data cd and burn the avi to it.
I wouldnt know without knowing what your player is make and model # I can say it will on mine. But might not on yours. It would have to offer avi divx or whatever playback to play it.
I tried burning the avi using Nero as a VCD. My DVD player states that it is Video CD compatible and CD-R. I tried burning a new movie onto a CD-R but I still was unsuccessful. This is what I did... Using Nero 6 I tried burning my 697MB avi file as a VCD. It then encoded the video for about an hour then promted me asking where I would like to save the Image file? (nero disc image) I then saved it to the desktop (didnt know why it asked me about this) and preceded. It then said "writing to disc"... after it finished successfully I checked the CD and it was still blank?? I then opened the saved nero disc image I saved and it opened with Nero but its 945MB which would then be to large to attempt to burn onto a CD-R. I didnt think I'd have this much trouble burning avi's. What am I doing wrong?!?
