hi folks,can anyone recommend an idiot proof way to convert a vcd to a dvd?. i'm quite a newbie to all this and the guides i've found seem very difficult . if anyone knows of a one click programme , or just ant tips i'd be really greatful. thanking you all in advance .
just wondering, why would you want to, you wouldnt get better quality, probably even worse, unless youre trying to put multiple VCDs on a dvd. well anyways here are some guides that might help what you on what you are trying to do http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/svcd_to_dvdr_from_img.cfm http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/vcd_to_dvd-r.cfm http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/multiple_svcd_on_dvdr.cfm
thanks SOCOM11 , a friend has since put me straight on the whole thing . i was worried that if i was to lend the vcd to a friend they may have difficulties playing it on their dvd player , but they've assured me that it will play perfect on almost all players . thanks for taking the time to reply , i really appreciate it . thx , Rog2
Hello svtstang, To convert an VCD to an mp4 i would first convert the VCD(s) to mpeg using VCD gear http://www.vcdgear.com/download.html Then once you get the mpeg files you can load them up into whatever you use to usually convert stuff to mp4 because mpeg should be supported. Ive never converted to mp4, im guessing youre using it for an ipod or psp or something so take a look at some of the guides. From what ive heard ImToo is pretty give at converting to mp4, but its really up to you. GooD Luck
SOCOM, thx for the quick reponse Thx for the advice, will check that out asap. Been asking around, and that was definetely some good advice BTW, does it make it any more dificult since the VCD is 2 disk? Its still possible to convert to a single mp4? Thx again
well im not sure if ImToo can join the files but you can join the .mpg files right after you convert them with VCDgear. Take a look at this guide and give it a shot http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/womble_mpeg_join_tutorial.cfm GooD Luck
LOL, thx man Despite the title, i am still a complete beginner with some thngs, and obviously converting video is one of them lol.
