I have about 60+ movies that i have downloaded and i need to burn them to DVD.. i no nero does it fine but it takes 2hrs + to make one movie. Is there an easier way to maybe convert the AVI DiVx file to a ISO or another type of file that can be burned in less time then possible?.. Like another programs or something? Ty
If your looking for simple drag & drop DVD burning Nero is probably the fastest you will get. The truth about burning DVD's is that it's not a quick and simple process especially when dealing with multiple videos, and even more so if those videos came from different sources. The reason Nero is taking so long to burn your compilation is that it must encode each one of those videos before it actually burns them, unfortunately Nero is not a very good encoder, and if you have PAL format videos you will probably have audio sync problems, and if you have PAL videos mixed in with NTSC on the same DVD some of your videos may not play at all. Nero is "user friendly" DVD authoring, keeping in mind "user friendly" = crappy.
2hrs for 60 random clips isn't too bad, It sometime takes that long to encode 1 movie using a program like TMPGENC, Nero is the best user friendly drag & drop program that I know of. Don't be suprised if some of the videos don't play tho. I did the same thing with Nero a while back and about half the videos were just black screen.
kk.. question it wouldnt be smart to run two different burning programs at once.. like nero and roxio.. i got two dvd burners?... not using the comp for anything else just wana get thes burnt
ouch. ok then you need a good introduction to video formats. This is what I would do: First step is to download and install gspot from here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4293.html gspot simply gives you info about video files. You will have to open each video with gspot to find out if each file is a PAL or NTSC here is how you can tell: PAL: 25fps (frames per second), 720x540 video size- aka resolution NTSC: 29.97fps, 30fps, 23.97fps, or 24fps 720x480 video size seperate the PAL files from the NTSC files you may also have to seperate them by video size try burning just the NTSC files in Nero and see if that helps the encoding time. Also try burning just the NTSC files that have common video sizes. If you are unfamiliar with PAL and NTSC or encoding browse around this sight, check out the AVI to DVD sections. Do a search within this forum for multiple avi's to dvd
Will try that.. i was reading about cnverting them to VCD or ISo and then burning them that way.. onky problem was that i needed the codec for DIVX for the iso image
I don't see why you couldn't as long as there isn't a sharing violation between common files it shouldn't be a problem. May slow down the cpu processing time tho.
tried to open the program u told me too cant.. could be my hard drive.. getting a new one tmr.. but this is killing me.. taking almost 2 and half hrs for a movie so far and i got no joke 60+ to burn
vcd you will only be able to hold 700mb, that will work if these clips are VERY small or u use multiple cd's
Are you sure you fully downloaded the exe? You need to run the exe and install gspot on your PC here's another link to download: http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
ok wil burn them to DVDs.. but do u no a progras i can use that can convert them .. AVI To Mpeg to ISO or something that i can burn in 10 or so min
An ISO is a DVD/CD Image you It would take just as long to create an ISO as a DVD because you are esentially creating the same thing. Nero should have an option to burn to image. All DVD's are mpegs (MP2 to be exact), nero is converting those files to mp2's, that's what's taking so long. You can use an encoder to convert the avi's to MP2's yourself. convertxtoDVD, CinemaCraftEncoder, to name a couple.
gspot is freeware Cinemacraft (CCE) is trial and leaves watermark ConvertxtoDVD is freeware I think, Check software section of afterdawn or go to software section of www.videohelp.com I'll try to find a link 4U http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool...thorfeatures=&Submit=Search+or+List+tools#106 all encoders @ videohelp: http://www.videohelp.com/tools?s=9#9 there are other ways around this too
Actually the way to go might be to append all your avi's using vdubmod this will create one long avi from all your clips.
