I only have cd-rw, but I would like to burn movies to disk from my hard drive. Please help my hard drive is running out of space.
with nero are you able to play movies on a regular dvd player after you burn them. also thank you for answering me. hope to here from you soon
You can play movies burned with Nero on a regular DVD player but it cannot be guaranteed they will work, it all depends on how you burned the CD and what DVD player you are using. (ie some DVD players do not support VCD/SVCD)
thanx for the help, but i have another question. what is a vcd and svcd. a type of disk i assume. where do you get them and what name brand is best. help with as many details as possible please. i greatly appreciate it. thanx.
VCD and SVCD are not types of discs, they are a format in which files are written (m-peg 1). Click on the names and they will explain.
thanx for your help again. would you mind please telling me how to use and get vcd. i don't mean to be a bother but i'm very new to this. thanx again.
As I said you need to download Nero, once you have installed Nero run the program choose the Photo and Video option, then choose Make Super Video CD. All you really have to do is locate the movie file you want to burn by clicking the 'Add' button, Nero will then analyze the file then you are ready to burn.
thanx for your help. the problem i was having was because i didn't have the right codec. can you play these movies on regular dvd players or in a playstation two?
I'm quite positive PS2 games (original) are in dvd format, so if you were to backup PS2 game or a dvd, you would have to go "dvd+r" route= dvd burner. If your home dvd player supports SVCD format and you wish to backup dvd's, then I personally recommend DVD2SVCD using either Cinema Craft Encoder or Canopus ProCoder 1.5. You can also convert AVI (DivX) to SVCD using DVD2SVCD as well. VCD is literally out of date, and I personally wouldn't bother going that route. You can purchase a Lite ON LDW-411S (4x\dual) for less than 100 buckaroos.
