hi, i'd like to burn bmw's shortfilms (downloadable in .mov format) onto dvd. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions? i have no experience with .mov files. thanks
If you have a DVD burner, just download TMPGEnc. If you are going to use a DVD Burner, I think you have to actually purchase TMPGEnc, because if you just download it all you get is a MPEG1 Converter. This is good for a CD Burner and blank CD-R's, but if you buy it you get the MPEG2 Converter. This is good for a DVD Burner and blank DVD-R's. Once you have converted the file into MPEG2 Format, burn it onto a DVD-R with your DVD Burner (if you have one). Now on that part with the MPEG2 converter part, I'm not sure if you have to have that for a DVD Burner. You might want to ask somebody at that knows about DVD Burners like someone at Circuit City or something. But I am sure about this part. If all you have is a CD burner, just download (you don't have to buy it) TMPGEnc, and then download VCDEasy (also free). TMPGEnc converts any files into the right MPEG format that VCDEasy can read. VCDEasy is a program that takes MPEG files and burns them onto a CD-R and lets you play them through your DVD Player (only if your DVD Player plays CD-R's, if it doesn't you can't watch Video Cd's through your DVD Player). If you need any more help, all you have to do is ask. Collin
sorry, bud... guess my question was somewhat vague. yeah, i do have a dvd burner, didn't know tmpgenc handled .mov files as well. thanks, i'll give it a try
