I wanna announce that after weeks of toiling and reading about encodes and formats and burning 3 coasters I have finally burned a perfect DVD-R from a svcd!I have no doubt that u people who answer questions here bombarded all time and I know as a noob to the scene that it can be fustrating.I found that RecordNow Dx works pretty well along with my Pioneer 106D.Which I purchased only because everyone here thinks its a great drive and it is thanks again!
SithLordx..I have a Pioneer DVD burner with RecordNow DX. I could never burn a DVD movie (small movie) onto a DVD-R or a DVD game onto DVD-R. I think I have to create an ISO image onto hd then burn it back to DVD-R but when try to play...it won't. Could you show me how? Thanks.
You dont have to make it into an ISO first DaPooh65 Have a look at above link in Oriphus's signature , or click this http://www.chrismccann.co.uk/recordnowmax.htm
DVD games are as simple as open DVD Decrypter , ISO Read > ISO Write Presuming that your burner is compatible w/ DVD Decrypter burn engine...there is a compatiblity chart on DVD Decrypter website [search google]
Thank you all...it worked great with RecordNow. I tried DVD Decrepter..no go. Got an error message "Unable to replace image". No matter what version I installed, same error. I have Nero 6.0 on my computer...any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
I agree ... everyone here, especially Oriphus, has been a GREAT help. I can back up PS2 games, DVD movies, and soon I may try an episode DVD! I owe it all to this site and you guys who help when you don't have to. I appreciate it, and I will pass it on - I am still a newbie, but I can help someone that knows as little as I did 4 weeks ago. thanks ...
[bold]Episode DVD Back Up :[/bold] DVD Decrypter - take ALL files DVD2One - do a full disk (hope this helps)
If you want to split them to seperate discs so as to not loose quality, use TMPGEnc DVD Author to create the new discs for you.
Well my initial success came from the source video being already compliant( ntsc to dvdr).Now I'm having the same issue as most folks ,I convert SVCD(or try)to DVDr and while merging (there r 2 files) the whole thing goes out of sync after the merge point.I have a theory that maybe if I don't merge the vids at all and just encode as usual and then export the end result into my authoring program as two seperate parts? Will they play in order one after the next with no pause? Any insight.All I want is to have a nice DVD-R that will play universally(even on a PS2).....I'm sure someone has pulled this off or something clos. Thanks Again
