Hello People, Please can someone help me, i'm having so much trouble burning movies from my computer to DVD-R. I have read so many guides but i can't understand some of them. I tried using Nero to burn but it was telling me it would take four hours to burn, is that right? I have downloaded ClonCD, CloneDVD2, Clone Virtual Drive, AnyDVD, Cucussoft AVI to VCD DVD, Alcohol 120%, DVD Decrypter, VidoeLan, Daemon Tools, Nero and DivX Player. How do i use all these tools to burn movies. I learned how to burn a ISO movie file to a DVD-R CD using DVD Decrypter. I want to burn these movies to DVD-R CD Sin City (I think it's a MPEG-Layer 3 or a AVI file). Also it comes in three parts how do i link them all together to make one file. I have a few BIN, CUE and other files what's the best way to burn them. Thank you so much for any help anyone can give me.
Wow you seem to have downloaded lots of programs, I'm not suprised you're confused. Let's start at the begining if, you've already dowloaded movies to your PC [say from a P2P site] in an AVI format or such, then they need to be converted into a DVD format. One of the quickest and free ways to do this is use the VSO conversion tool DVXToDVD.... http://www.vso-software.fr/ This program will by default create a dvxtodvd sub-folder in your My Documents folder. My advice is work from this folder Next download DVD Shink...guides http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/tutorial007.html http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/index.html Forget the other programs for now, just learn some basics from these very well written guides, and you'll be burning in no time. good luck, and welcome to AD. gringle
jesus,what a list, you dont need half of them , when you start converting files,the best way to keep track of them is to put each part into a separate folder on the desktop, i.e starwars 1,starwars 2 starwars 3,this way you wont get confused when you are extracted from rar files or bin images,as they often come in pairs,sometimes in 3's if you are planning in converting lots of movies,you will need an essential app's such as WINRAR,and ISOBUSTER,these are used for extracting the avi's.mpeg's,and opening rar files avi's are very similar to bin images in may ways,but the way you treat them is slighty different [bold]AVI'S[/bold] avi's can be loaded straight into vso's dvixtodvd,right on top of each other,up to 3 files at once they will be merged and joined onto 1 file,called a video ts folder, this contains all the lovely vob's... just burn the ts folder onto a dvd disk with clonedvd2 [bold]BINS[/bold] these can be burned straight onto a CD disk,but you are better to convert them first,so you can burn them onto a dvd disk...I.E if you have 2 bins,which make up 1 movie,in 2 parts.... create 2 folders on desktop,i.e starwars 1 / starwars 2 open the first bin with isobuster,and source the MPEG2 folder.. right click on this,and source "extract but filter only mpeg frames", extract this to the first folder repeat this with the second bin image,putting in the second folder you have 2 sets of mpegs which must be made dvd compliant,.. you can try loading them both in vso's dvixtodvd,but i doubt it will accept them there is another app' called [bold]mainconcept[/bold] which converts mpeg's into dvd compliant mpeg's,and you could try that,but after that you will need to use tmpge author to make the vob's etc.its a long process!!!!! getting back to the mpegs from the bins,like i said,vso's dvixtodvd probably wont take them, in which case you can try using nerovisionexpress,to create a dvd, this again,as you pointed out takes a long time depending on pc power if you use the nero route,my advice would be write to a folder,and not straight to disk there are lots of app's you can use,but as gringle suggested,try and keep it simple for starters,as i myself get stuck all the time best of luck
