i have several downloaded movies i want to burn to dvd i tried converting them to dvd using windvd then burned them but they wont work. My player supports dvd-/+ r and i can play all the vcds on cds. I have read the guide to using Tmpgenc but not sure if this is the right software. do the files need to be encoded, they are mostly avis. sorry if this question has been answered before but i couldnt find the answer. Dumb blonde and all.
You must be a dumb blonde, if you didn't say you downloaded it I could help you. Now, I can't. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Just bought a DVD±RW Drive, go easy on me please.[/small]
Wow, THFS, you actually read the rules! That is so cool....Hey everyone a Newbie read the rules...a Newbie read the rules!!!!! I didn't realize that happened, with the way some people post you would think that the rules were not available until you became a member.
Ok, where did these "legit" files come from and what size are they? _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Yes, I know I am a smart ass! Toshiba Satellite P4 HT 2.6 Ghz 1 Gb PC2700 DDR SDRAM NEC Nd-1300a External 0 to Burn in 22 Minutes DVD Collection - http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/roeod4[/small]
stop ripping the blonde to shreds found answer to my first question. Are any of you clever enough to tell me why the file needs to be encoded and a vcd burned to a dvd disc would not work in my dvd player?
Yes, I believe we are probably clever enough to do that. I also believe that we are clever enough to have read the rules to this forum and know that it is not permitted to support or condone piracy (Rule #5). Now, proving us wrong and explaining how and why these are not pirated movies you are trying to burn would get you a lot closer to the answers you are looking for. You have to understand that we are not picking on you. We are trying to prevent this site and others like from getting in trouble for helping people commit piracy. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Yes, I know I am a smart ass!

the movies are from my video camera i downloaded them to my computer then tried to convert to avi, they are about 350meg each(not sure what im doing hence newbie post!)
What program did you use when downloading from your camera? Did it put the files directly into avi or into mpeg and then you converted to avi? Do you still have the files on your camera? Do you still have the files in mpeg format? Please give me as much information as possible this will help me figure out what step to take next.
deleted camera footage, looked at original file and is mpeg format also still have the avi format too, is all lost?
a program called WinAvi it also converts to dvd, i tried that but it still wouldnt work just getting through lots of dvds
There is an easier way, you can use nerovision express which can be found in nero ultra 6 package. A must video and audio package for any newbie in my opinion. With nerovision you can also create a working menu with chapters and all. It also includes recode which is an excellent dvd backup prog that also keeps a fully functional menu after re-authoring, however it isn't free. You can get it at eagletronics for 49.00, which considering it costs 99.00(and worth every penny) is a good deal.
DumbBlond I too must repeat the rules that discussing downloaded copyrighted material is forbidden on the forum. If the file came from your camera then why didn't you say that, instead of stating that they were downloaded movies? We can only respond to what we read from your posts. It's important to state your problem as concisely and precisely as possible to avoid such confusion and to aid our members in helping you. bigorange is on the right track, I capture my moives and use ulead to burn them to DVD but its expensive and Nero is a very versatile software. Take care and have a nice day.
Thanx guys i tried following the guide on the site and it works great, just takes a very long time but worth it! Sorry if i caused confusion about saying a "downloaded" movie, was that the wrong term, what do you call it when you put camera movies onto pc? Already have nero 6 ultra with dvd plug in(i think thats right) is this the correct software you were referring to big orange? if so could you give me a basic walkthru?
