DVD Writing

[JamesRT]

Ok i'm new to writing DVD's so sorry if I sound like a dumbass...

If I make a 'Data DVD disc' using Nero, will I be able to watch the videos I copy to the disc on my home DVD player, i'm using DVD-r discs. I'm a little confused whether I need to write a DVD-video file disc or whether a Data disc will work fine.

No is the short answer. Unless you are burning avis or some such that your player will recognise (some play anything). For DVD video you will need to burn a DVD video disc.

 

[JamesRT]

Yeah i'm burning AVI files to the disc.

 

[MrAtego]

But will your main dvd player play AVI's?

 

[Munson]

WTF happened there?

 

[FATBOY]

if you want it in dvd quality TS files you will have to convert the AVI file using divxtodvd converter(what i use everytime) or use dvd santa. as well as being converters, both programs will burn the files as well

 

[Munson]

Shhhh

 

[FATBOY]

why mate???? is it site policy?

Argee use divxtodvd to Convert your files in to VOB format then any dvd player will read them, not many UK dvd players will play AVI file format

 

[Munson]

why mate???? is it site policy?

I was not aware that it is, but apparently it is against the rules to mention 100% legal & legit conversion software

it doesnt seem to wanna play.. just puts about 5 chapters of black screen!

 

[Munson]

You can mention all the legal tools you want. Just don't be surprised if your posts get deleted that refer to "ripping" or "downloading" movies.

Ripping is not illegal IIRC. Your allowed to make a backup copy of a Cd you have paid for.
