DVD Burning

[blazingfate]

Ok I downloaded DVD Fab Platinum 4. I got all happy because I was ripping movies using the xvid.mp3 setting. Well my issue now is that the files cant be burnt to dvd through the programs I have on my computer. Also I cant seem to convert them into anything that will work. My questions are...1. is there a better way to doing this process....2. is there a way to convert these files into something that can be burnt to dvd (i dont wanna lose these movies) If anybody can help me it will be greatly appreciated.

i run a cracked version of a program called "anydvd". it runs in the background and removes the copyrights. then i use a program called "dvdshrink" to copy the movies.

actually, you just need to have nero installed. you don't have to change programs or anything, dvdshrink does it for you as long as you have it installed on your pc

I use a combination of programs that work perfect with each other.. As a team, so to speak.. This will burn any dvd, anywhere, even the ones that not only have encryption, but also have the different spacing in between some of the chapters (another form of encryption)..
(1.) RipIt4Me, (2.)DVDDecrypter (which runs (3.)FixVTS), (4.)DVDShrink, then DVDDecrypter, again, to burn the .iso onto a blank dvd...

Dvd Fab would rip the movies...but I couldnt burn them to disc and they play on a dvd player. I thought that maybe Windows DVD maker would do it...but it says that the files are corrupted. That cant be so considering they play on my computer. So I used DivX converter to convert them to Divx. My DVD player plays Divx but not the DivX files from this conversion. What format do I need to convert my current movie collection to and what do I need to use to burn them to a DVD? I figured I would elaborate on my new findings.

After DVDDecrypter and FixVTS (which are all ran by "RipIt4Me") are finished running, you make an ".iso" image of the movie with DVDShrink, then you use your favorite burning software that will write the ".iso" to a blank dvd... I use DVDDecrypter, but you can use Nero or others...

question, i converted an .avi movie into DVD format the movie was 5gb i only have 4.7gb dvd cd. is there anyway i can split it or do you no a program that will let you split. do i have to get a 10gb dvd cd or something.

[blazingfate]

Yes there are a few. If you search on this site for HJ Split you should find what you need. I use it occassionally.

naw you dont have to and why split up one movie into 2 parts on 2 discs? you can just convert to another format and than burn... for a dvd it doesnt have to be in dvd format......

[sweetgurly21]

sorry i no i am double posting but i have another question how do we make the movie smaller. some of the movies that i cloned are 5629mb. don't think i would be able to play that in my ppc.

you would have to use a program like spb movie converter.... we have a lot of them in the pctools area........ they will convert to screensize of your phone and keep quality while diminishing the size of the file.

what other format can i use. i saw someone say they couldn't play the dvd in the dvd player because they didn't convert it to an ISO format or something.

no thats for computers with the iso format.......... thats for like vista, photoshop, and other big files from a disc............. but for dvd's any video format will work as long as the burner supports it.

[sweetgurly21]

oh okay thanks dash for helping. i just wanted to make sure i was doing it right. hopefully when i burn movies to the dvds the quality is good. lol

just look at the file size and all if its not too much lower than what you have now (just small enough to fit on the disc.)

[sweetgurly21]

uhhh. if what is not too small. the .avi movies i have are about 300mb my dvd disc is 4.7gb. can i put more than i movie in one disc since.

yes you would be able to but i would watch one first on your pc to make sure the quality of picture and sound are ok

[sweetgurly21]

ran in to some problems my dvd player is not playingthe disc. is saying 'disc error please eject the disc. playback feature may not be available on this disc"
does that mean my tower didn't burn it because it played on the computer. does cd/dvdW mean that it reads it but doesn't burn. i am so confused.

naw its just that your dvd player doesnt recognize the file type you converted it too.

[sweetgurly21]

so what do i do now. convert to another format or buy new blank dvds

[iamdasht19]

convert to another format.... if the movie is lets say 3 gigs when you convert the movie you will want it to come out no less than 2.0-2.5 gigs otherwise you will be losing quality in sound and the picture....

[blazingfate]

Dash is right. One thing that I have found to work is that I use DVD Fab. It allows me to convert to various formats with one click. I usually convert to the Xbox setting which when burned to a DVD works just fine. (great picture quality and sound) If you are still having issue convert to divx afterwards. You can get a divx converter at no charge to see how you like it on www.divx.com....also dvdfab is on this site in pc tools.

[sweetgurly21]

i don't know for some reason divx and dvdfab didn't work for me. but i found another that converts and burns with a click very easy to work with. its called sothink movie dvd maker and the file is a full download and my fav word free. thank you dash and blazingfate for explaining alot to me. it was all so confusing oh and i had to buy a new dvd player. the one i had doesn't recognize dvd cds for some reason.

[blazingfate]

I'm glad I was able to assist somewhat. For the record I just tried a new part of DVD Fab. If you still the platinum on your computer, open it...click try platinum (it never runs out). Click the DVD Main Movie to copy choice...its blue to green disc..... It takes about 35 min if you are doing the main movie only and works even on my old PS2. I tested it for ya. If you found something that works better I am happy for you.
