my bad after they are burnt to a disc they change from avi to nvd then on disc end up as vob thats why it takes so long it has to convert encode compress and then burn I was wrong
IHoe I see alot of programs I don't see Pinnacle, you know what they don't knock it untill you try it and I do use Nero for the avi but I like Pinnacle much better you have more control with the movie you want to make
I've been computing since 1970 and I had pinnacle before....and you're the only one in Afterdawn that is blowing the Pinnacle horn! Hey, it's ok. It works for you. I'm not knocking you.... I'm just saying that these programs I have ....... is enough to do anything I ever want to do with DVDs and video files and more. I don't need anything more. But, don't let that stop you from using what works for you. You know something....... why don't you do a guide! that's a great idea..... so instead of saying [bold] use Pinnacle[/bold] you can say.... here's a guide that shows you how to take an AVI and do what you want to do with it and burn to disk! This way you have more clout than just saying USE PINNACLE.
Ok how do get started to do a guide I dont know everthing but I know what has work for me ( as you ) I am not in a contest with you just trying to pass what I know to someone elese OK
I got the date wrong it was 1981 it was made by Texas Instrument it had 3 programs one music one game and something elese I could always play the game untill I could make it freeze I thought that was a way the computer said it gave up I did no they made computers in 1970 I thought they called that a adding machine
The comptures were as big as desks...... I took computer 101 in high school...... the keypboard was built right in .... it was attached to a matrix printer all in one.... there were three light buttons .... one for rebooting, one for process and one for abort! It also had a punch card input where you would stack packs of punch cards into a slot where it would be automatically inserted for reading! You used Fortran, Cobalt, and Scientific language to communicate with the computer. I learned to push buttons real good, back then and use a punch card machine and sort machine! It was made by IBM! My high school was one of the first in the country to have one!
Ya'll seem to have forgotten what the topic was but anyway I figured out the problem. I started to encode with WinAvi to dvd files and then if I want custom menus then Ill choose the option to "make my own dvd video" and on from there. It still does the transcoding etc but only takes about 30 min or maybe a little longer but nothing over a hour. *Unless you count the encoding time* If I didnt want custom menus then I would just go to dvd video files in Nero and burn from there and of course that takes nothing but alittle over 7min in my DRU-720 DL Burner
