does anyone know if dvd shrink can shrink dvds onto a cd-r? if not, what software can and is it free?
Well even if it could would wouldn"t be able to watch them in your DVD player because DVD"s have to be on DVD... No DVD shrink can not shrink a DVD so it will fit on a CD-R and even if it could the quality would be so Bad that it wouldn"t be worth watching.... The only way you will get a whole DVD to Fit on a CD-r is to Compress the DVD to XviD/DivX/Mpeg-4 format and then you could only play it on your PC or a Mpeg-4 enabled DVD Player..... Cheers
This is not entirely true. What you are looking for is called KVCD, videos specifically formatted for CD-R. Encoding these are quite difficult and I've yet to take a crack at it but I have downloaded, burnt and watch many of these on a standard DVD player. This process to the best of my knowledge somehow formats the movies into a BIN/CUE image that can then be burnt using Nero. Look for info on formatting here KVCD.net
You can use DVDx23(or whatever the latest one is) and encode it to a VCD youll need a few cdrs though, more or less depending on what kind of quality you want. there are a few other programs out there,TMPGEnc(I think does it),basically any dvd ripper. then you can use nero to burn, pretty much all the newer burning software burns Vcd's. Good luck.
dude i use to do that, tell you it's not worth it just go out and buy urself a dvd burner and some dvd media. if u want to do the dvd to cd then do the normal decryting and use tmpengc to convert it to mpeg1 or mpeg2 normally it takes about 2 cds to fit mpeg1 and 3 cd for a mpeg2 and then just burn the mpeg1/2 with nero.
