    i need to a know program that lets you make ur own dvd...i see people making dvds and they can fit like 20 episodes of anime on there such as NARUTO. i nneed to know which program they use that lets them put so many episodes on one DVD disk. i can only fit 3 episodes with nero and i think thats a waste, so if any of u guys know a prog that will let u put 20 or more episodes on a Blank DVD plz tell me !!!!

    by the way each episode is like 23mins each and 215mb each

    Hi evo5zigen, welcome to the club,

    The most I've ever done is 6 hours maybe a few minutes more, I have done 12 episodes but you're looking at close to 9 hours - I’ve got absolutely no idea - I suggest that you ask them that knows, the ones who told you they did it -

    Sorry, wish you luck -

    Good luck -

    Pete

    If you’re not worried about any kind of quality, try compressing with Shrink then jamming in DVD2One - just a thought - still, don’t think it’ll get anywhere near your goal -

    OK. If each episode is only 215mb each and you can only fit 3 on a disc... are we talking CD or DVD?

    3 files that size should fit onto a standard CD. Doing some math indicates that you should be able to fit 20~ such files onto a standard DVD, max.

    Unless, maybe, the files are VCD or SVCD and being burned onto a DVD.

    Kakashi, All files are "data". You should be able to burn them onto a disc with just about any DVD recording program.

    Hi evo5zigen,

    Use an MPEG2 encoder before you author your disc, that is, [bold]before[/bold] you use TMPGEnc DVD Auhtor.

    Good MPEG2 encoders (trial versions available for all of them):

    - TMPGEnc DVD Source Creator (40 $)
    - TMPGEnc Plus (50 $)
    - CCE Basic (60 $)

    By adjusting the bit rate and/or the image resolution in the MPEG encoder, you can adjust the size of the final MPEG2 files. That way you can put 6 hours on a single DVD-R (or even a bit more).

    On the other hand, I'm amazed that Nero lets you put only 3 episodes on a disc. It means about 1 hour of video on a disc. Are you talking of NeroVision Express ? If so, have a look at the "quality" setting. It's "normal quality" by default, which means about 2 hours. But you can set it to "low quality", which should give you 4 hours on a single DVD-R.

    Cheers,

    Daba

    What we might want to consider is do we, wish to play these on a D VD player at some time in the future ?


    Using that logic, why then do we have so many different programs ? If everything is Data then we don't need so many software programs to play them back either. We can just get by with a text program and anything that supports a JPG or a GIF because what are videos but a lot of still pictures being flipped one after another.


    They are folders holding your IFO,BUP's and VOB files the ingredients of a DVD movie, housed inside of a VIDEO_TS Folder, that you can burn to disc, the results of which are called a DVD movie.


    As Daba suggested you've some work ahead -

    You'll need to use something like TMPGEnc to render your AVI files into DVD compliant MPEG2;'s THEN a Authoring program like TMPGEnc DVD Author to take your MPPEG files to your needed IFO's, BUP's and VOB's. These you'll put into a VIDEO_TS folder and put into DVD Shrink to compress then compile using DVD Shrink in the re-Author mode OR DVD2One using the "Join" mode.


    Gentlemen, there is a wealth of information here in A/D dealing with the AVI to DVD project you have ahead of you but you'll have allot of fun learning, we all did, and you will too -

    cheers and Welcome to the Club :D)

    with regard to burning i'm a definite newbie, but when it comes to conversion i've tried them all. The best program that I have found out there is from Cucusoft, its called avi to mpg converter. http://www.cucusoft.com They have a very versatile,very user friendly, even for newbies, fast, and great quality converter. It'll change your avi file to vcd,svcd,dvd and other various formats. It can do a batch conversion or merge avi's together into one file. They have a standard and pro version. I use the pro version, and not once had a problem, I highly recommend it. Good luck

    and in regard to authoring your own dvd's wich is what I have been doing. I use Ulead DVD workshop 2. Also a very user friendly program have made a few dvds with it had they have worked out perfectly.
