How do I burn several episodes onto one DVD ?

Please can someone tell me how I can burn several episodes of a series onto one single dvd disc ?

I usually use Convertxtodvd and I also have Nero.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

 

you answered yourself, use convertxtodvd.

add a few episodes in and convertxtodvd makes a menu to if set in options and convert/burn as normal.

[a little tip, set menu options if over 6 to use 1 menu page as if you have say 7, 6 links will be on 1 page and 1 on the second] doesnt look right.

 

Thanks Rotary. Do you know how many episodes I can burn onto one dvd .. or will Convertxtodvd tell me if the files are too large for the disc ?

 

Thanks for the tip Rotary.

 

how big is each one? i had 7 350meg eps of a cartoon series on dvdr

 

Hi Rotary,

Each episode is approx 750mb ... so I need to work it out I guess

 

maybe 3 of those would be ok? could try 4 on test, just dont burn yet, just test output for quality...

 

Hi,

Each person are different, some are more picky on quality.

Forget the input file size, what matters in the lenght of video.

Try to add up to 4 hours of video.

See if you like the quality it gives you.

More than that, bitrate will be reduce more and more and you may not like the quality of the output.

I personally try not to go to much over 3 hours on a single DVD.

 

good point there...

 

Thanks to Rotary and Cougar for your help. I burned three episodes to dvd and everything went fine ... but the episodes are in letter box format

Even when I alter the screen ratio to the largest size it's still really narrow. I made sure the 'full screen' option was checked in convertxtodvd and so all the settings were ok.

It's so annoying when this happens ... there was no mention of the series being in letterbox format.

Oh well ... that's life I guess - or maybe I am doing something wrong, yet I don't think so.

not sure in old convertxtodvd but the new V3 RC1 beta it has new options that may help you out... aswell as TV format PAL/Widescreen (for me) you have the below settings to play with

 

Thanks Rotary ... not sure if I can be bothered now though. I would probably mess it up

 

ready for next go - ;-])

 

Rotary, I'm trying not to sound completely dumb here (not very convincing am I ?!!) .... but which option would you be inclined to try out to get shot of the letterbox format ?

 

im in same boat as you just got this new version i would guess at

stretch: video resized to screen (what friggin screen no friggin idea?) what ever you set in tv options i guess full screen say?
