i cant burn all types of video it says cus some patent crap i could ony do mpeg3 or avi or sumthin. is there some codecs i gotta download or do you guys know of another program i could use? i dont have a dvd burner i been burnin to vcd my pornz.
What are you trying to back up? A DVD movie? A File? What do you mean by patents? If you're unable to rip a newer movie to HDD, then you would need something to remove the newer encryptions. We need more info!
well i been tryin to burn up a bunch diff type of files to vcd so i can watch in my dvd player, it ony lets me burn stuff that wmp can detect cus it shows the wmp icon for the file. anything that u need to watch with like vlc media player it wont let me burn, or irfanview files either, it says because of patent restrictions u have to buy nero online or some crap, so can u recomend a better program that can burn everything of movie files or anything that u dont need a dvd drive for?
Calimack i would personaly upgrade.DVD writers are as cheap as chips these days & most work well from my experiance which isnt much but if it helps.Nero & Winavi are must haves in my opinion there worth the money cause they give great results.Winavi has great converting properties & is real easy to use.
You sounds like you need different codecs. You could use GSpot to identify the codecs used by AVI files, but some people would rather just install a codec pack like the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. Some people say codec packs f-up your machine but I have never had problems on numerous installations, and I install almost everything (I don't advise that though - install only the defaults). You still need to buy Nero unless you want to do things the *REALLY* hard way.
