Hello... Simple question; Do I have to burn my DivX´s to DVD or can I burn them on CD-R or CD-RW (my DVD player reads them all)?? I mean that can I burn my DivX movies to CD-R(RW) and look the movies with my DVD player (Pioneer DV-575S) at home?? U see...I don´t have a computer at home at the moment, but I´d like to watch the DivX -movies anyway...
You can: - make a Video CD (VCD)http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/110106 1 CD-ROM = 80' of movie and 100% compatibility - make a Super Video CD (SVCD) (similar to the previous one) 1 CD-ROM = 50' of movie and minor compatibility (Nero can try to make more compatible discs) - make a non-standard VCD (a KVCD) http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/124272 1 CD-ROM = 120' of KVCD movie and 100% compatibility - make a DVD (see http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm ) 1 DVD = 155' of movie or, lowering the bitrate, 1 larger movie The point you should keep in mind is that the quality WILL NOT ENCREASE during conversion. The quality is = or < than the original movie's. Therefore my suggestion (but this is only my opinion) is: making a (a couple of) VCD(s) from an AVI starting movie is often more than enough; make a SVCD only if 1 CD-ROM are enough for the movie. NEVER make DVDs from small AVIs, do those only dir direct rips (without intermediate compressions). DON'T USE NERO FOR MOVIE ENCODING (AVI --> MPEGS) : USE IT ONLY TO TRANSFORM MPEG-1 --> VCD OR MPEG-2 --> SVCD. (or better, use it to make (S)VCD .NRG images on your HD and burn them later; this is safer). Use TMPGenc for the conversions. Go to the proper forum (http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/40) if you need to ask more things.
Hi, I have a quick question, on the guide on how to convert divx movies to DVD, on the TMPGEnc part under 'Stream Type' should I be using ES or System? Also, If the divx videos I download already have subtitles, do I still need to go through the part where I need to convert the subtitles?
