    It's all about the running time, not the size of your source files. What's the total running time on these vids you put in CXD.

    While it's not impossible, it would be time-consuming and the finished product may not be worth the effort.
    rmvb files are difficult to work with as not many video app.s know what to do with them (besides RealMediaPlayer, of course). So you'll want to use a program to convert them to another file-type, first. If I remember correctly, SUPER(c) by erightsoft can convert rmvb files (it's been a couple of years since I've bothered to get anything in rmvb because of the extra time I had to spend converting them before I could use them - but I'm pretty sure I used SUPER(c) ). If you're wanting to make a video DVD, convert them to MPG-2 or VOB (DVD compliant).
    Is it possible that the disc your friend has is a data disc with AVIs on it? There are a lot of set-top DVD players that will play AVIs and, by using the (XviD ASD) method of encoding, you can easily fit an entire season on one disc. I ask this because a full season of 20+ 45-minute episodes would equal over 8000 minutes and to try to put that much onto a disc that's rated to hold about 3600 minutes at it's lowest quality setting would result in something that's pretty much unwatchable.
    That said, it is possible to exceed the 6-hour limit using Nero. Once you've converted the rmvb files to something Nero will recognise, you'll have to use the "Make Your Own DVD-video" option, in Nero, to create the DVD structure. Using the Super Long Play (6-hour) mode, convert as many of the videos as Nero will allow - 7 or 8, depending on the length of the vids. Use the option to save these to your hard-drive instead of burning them. Then, do this, again, with the rest of your videos. (Sometimes Nero will have trouble with keeping the audio in synch when trying to convert a lot of videos at once, so it might be best to do each one, individually, or two at a time). After you've converted all of the videos to DVD, use Nero's "Remake DVD" option, under "Recode DVD-video" to fit all of them onto a single disc. To get there from Start Smart, click "Recode DVD-video", then click "Back", at the bottom of the Recode dialog box, then choose "Remake DVD" from the options.
    Since Recode will only allow you to degrade the video to a certain point, you still may not be able to get as many episodes as you want onto a single disc but you can go beyond the 6-hour limit.
    So, as I said, it is possible, but the question remains: Would you really want to?

    ...and the end result is the same, you butchered whatever quality those videos had. First you convert from a highly compressed RMVB to AVI or Mpeg, which equals quality loss. Then you convert that to a SLP, low quality DVD, which is another quality loss.
    Better get a player that plays RMVB and no more headaches with conversion!
