Is it possible direct record the movie to cd (i mean burn in vcd) i hope u inform me how to do it or if there is some address with TUTORIAL . please let me know. thanks (your student)
Not really, at least not easily. You need some sort of hardware -- easiest method is to buy VCD recorder (goto lik-sang.com). Another way is to get a capture card and capture the TV show to HDD in raw/slightly compressed AVI format (helluva lot of HDD space required) and then encode the clip later on with TMPGEnc.
Hi 1-please tell me in second way with compressed AVI for 90 minutes movie how much space of HDD do i need? 2-I use Hauppaugel Win TV . please inform me or give me the address of what kind of setting is best whe i am going to do it . regard
We have a rather old, but still usable, guide for capturing with AVI_IO in our article pages. I normally use Matrox's hardware M-JPEG encoding, which takes appx. 1GB/10min with my settings or uncompressed Huffyuv which takes anything between one and ten GBs for 10min. This is a lot, I know, but it is there just until you encode the video later on -- and HDD prices are low Encoding on-the-fly to DivX or something similiar is always A Bad Idea, since you get much, much better quality by using non-lossy or slightly lossy formats like Huffyuv or M-JPEG first and then later on encode using 2-pass technology to DivX or SVCD.
