Burning a DVD

I have just finished downloading a double disc DVD and would like to burn it onto CD's to watch on a player. I don't have a DVD burner, but I do have the newest Nero demo and a regular burner.
Is there any way that I can burn them without having to download anything else, and if so, please let me know how.

Thanks,
Bennie

 

Im pretty sure you need a dvd burner to burn any kind of video...unless you burn it as a data disc...ill look it up.

 

Cool, man. If I do have to burn it as a data disc and take it to a dvd burner, would I have to still use dvd discs? Or could I just burn the whole file (6gb) onto one cd and take it to a computer with a dvd burner?

 

Ouch mate. Sorry, but 6gb wont fit onto a cd. It wouldnt even fit onto one dvd.

So, you could try putting it on an external harddrive, or just directly linking the two computers wth a usb lead and doing it that way?

 

It's a double disc dvd. Can I put disc1's data on a cd and disc2's on another? They have an Extras_TS file in them that contains a .md5 and everyone on another message board are saying I don't have to put it onto the disc. And just to be sure, I don't have to have any special program to burn this data onto a disc? I can just press Burn Data onto CD?

 

If you did mean 6 GIGABYTES, then you'd need to use about 10 CD's to fit it on.

You might get it on two DVD's, but you dont have a DVD burner, you have a CD burner, right? Therefore you cannot burn them to DVD.

 

Damnation. Would I be able to zip them and put those on cd?

 

Sorry, ill explain it to you properley BENNIE.

A CD is able to store something like 650 megabytes of data on it. Lets round a gigabyte to 1000megabytes (its 1024, but for this calculation we'll say 1000).

You have 6Gigabytes of data...so thats 6000+ megabytes of daa.

Your trying to fit 6000+ megabytes of data onto a 650mb storage device (cd).

Even if you halved it....theres no chance.

But, if you want to have fun burning 10 cds with it on....theres a program called h-j split: http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/


...that allows you to split files in multiple .rar files...so you could split it like 10 times, and burn each of those .rar's onto a CD and then using the same program, you could join it again on the other computer.

Thats alot of effort though, and alot of CDs.



Alternatively, you could invest in a dvd burner, you even an external dvd burner which you can pick up for about £20 of ebay.

 

Thanks a lot, man. I'm gonna get my sister to come up to my work with her laptop and hook it up to my computer and just burn it that way.

 

Best of luck mate, let me know how it goes.
