I tried to follow the tutorials on here for burning AVI to DVDs, but I'm running into the same problem with every program I try to use. I'm trying to burn 12 episodes totaling roughly 4.0 GB in size to a DVD. Except every program I try to use to do that, it tells me the size of the selected files is about 10.0GB?? Shouldn't I be able to get all of them on the same single layer DVD WITHOUT heavy compression or is there something I'm overlooking?
But after that would the DVD be able to be played through a DVD player? If so, then that sure sounds like the way to go.
It is the way to go for what you want if your player can play data but, if not, they'll need converting and even if those are 1/2 hour episodes will result in over 4 hour's on a regular dvd even with commercial's removed and that will result in pretty bad quality. I'd shoot for 6 episode's on each and see what you think.
Worked like a charm. Thanks for your help guys! One thing though, It butchered the file names on the DVD that got burned. They arent in order and because the names arent the same, I have no idea which is which... Any setting I can change on ImgBurn to either keep the order of the files or keep the original file name?
I have never had that happen either. What exactly did it do? Or what did it change the names to? Were the names especially long or contain odd characters?
Well all the files were named: House MD 13 Name House MD 14 Name House MD 15 Name House MD 16 Name House MD 17 Name House MD 18 Name House MD 19 Name House MD 20 Name House MD 21 Name House MD 22 Name House MD 23 Name House MD 24 Name Then they showed up on the disc as... HOUSE_10 HOUSE_11 HOUSE_12 HOUSE_M2 HOUSE_M3 HOUSE_M4 HOUSE_M5 HOUSE_M6 HOUSE_M7 HOUSE_M8 HOUSE_M9 HOUSE_MD Any Ideas?
This is the order that they appear on the DVD index. However, this list is not the same as the order I put the files on.. Ex. "HOUSE_11" is not the file "House MD 13" "HOUSE_12" is not the file "House MD 14" "HOUSE_M2" is not the file "House MD 15" etc...
My thoughts... 1.)replace all spaces in the filename with "_" ( the underscore ) 2.)It may be using the "old" DOS naming standard. DOS names could only contain 8 characters, if I remember correctly. If that's the case, rename the files from : House MD 13 Name to House_13 Option 2 has a better chance of working.
