I downloaded a couple of AVI movies none of them larger than 900MB I wanted to burn them to DVD, so I tried using Roxio and RecordNow, but both programs say the files exceed the DVD disc space. Why is it a 800MB file would take up more than 4.7GB of space? Is there anything I can do to fit the movie onto the dvd? Thanks!
If trying to burn an .avi file in DVD-Video (VIDEO_TS) mode then you will get all burning apps saying they have a problem with it... Either encode/convert .avi to .vob then burn as DVD-Video (a 800mb file might convert to 3Gb+ btw - all depends on bitrate etc) Or , just burn your .avi file as data ... thus getting at least 5 x 750mb movies on one disc (unplayable in most DVD players though) _X_X_X_X_X_[small] Afterdawn Guides: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/ Afterdawn Rules: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/6346[/small]
Hi, I wanted to be able to play the movies on a regular dvd player so I guess I'll try converting the video to vob. What should I use to do that? Thanks!
My personal preference is : MainConcept MPEG Encoder 1.4 (to encode to MPEG2) TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.5 (to convert to VOB) Nero 6 Ultra Edition (burn as DVD-Video in VIDEO_TS folder)
