    Hey guys.

    I'm new to the DVD stuff.
    I need to ask a question... I don't know if this is the right place to ask but my question is...

    I have a 700MB CD-R.
    I want to convert my .rmvb file into a file that can be played using my CD-R.
    Is it even possible to do that? Sorry if I placed this thread into the wrong topic...
    All posts are appreciated :)

    Hey kikzm33z
    When you convert the .rmvb file it will no longer fit on a cd-r - unless it's a really small rmvb file.
    You'll need to burn to a dvd instead if you want to play it on a dvd player.

    But if you just want to play it in the pc - then just burn straight to the cd as a data disc. Here's a good free burner if you need one -ImgBurn. Use the build mode to add and burn the files.

    Thanks, I have successfully found a DVD-RW with 4.7GB of data. I'll try that burner :)

    EDIT:
    Help... How do I burn my VIDEO_TS file into my DVD+RW? Even more confusing, how the hell do I format my DVD? It won't let me format it.

    Use ImgBurn. Then just go to mode>build and add the video_to burn.
    Here's a guide - link.

    You shouldn't need to format the +RW disc - erase it maybe if it's been written to.

    Ok - what's happening?

    Do you mean cause you need them for later or you get an error when trying to erase?

    I give up... The DVD file takes 30 minutes to be converted, I've deleted it 3 time because it took up 3GB of my space and I can't be bothered doing it again.

    Thanks for helping anyways. :)

    Hey 30 min ain't bad converting time - some take a lot longer then that:)
    3 gig is about right - you're converting to another format so the size 'grows'
    If you change your mind just let us know.
