I have this program its called "Roxio Creator LE Dell Edition". Now the lady told me my computer can burn DVD's. Roxio is the only program I have that can burn CDs and DVD's. Now I don't know how this works how do you burn DVD's Can you use a compact disc or does it have to be DVD Blank Disc. I have both when I put the Blank DVD Disc in my computer nothing happens its like its not even there. When I put my compact disc I can write files.

 

 

NO I am trying to write movies on a CD and play it in my DVD Player. Can somone tell me how is this possible. WRITE MPEG MOVIES TO DISC AND PLAY THEM IN DVD..

 

 

AND HOW DO YOU WRITE DVD's PERIOD..

 

 

I am new to this so I don't know. I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this at. I am just trying to write DVD's here is a screenshot of my PROGRAM..

What is the id string of the burner - to get the ID string, right-click on the "my computer" icon, go to "properties" at the bottom of the menu, the hardware tab, then Device Manager, then click on the + alongside the CDROM icon. Copy it exactly, capital or lower case, space for space.

This looks like the Users Manual

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/stor...45/en/index.htm

 

and the specifications

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/stor...145/en/spec.htm

 

It's a combo drive - reads/writes CDs (CD-R, CD-RW) and reads DVDs.

 

cdanteek has already said it - you do not have a DVD burner.

 

You also do not have a very well informed salesperson!

Okay am just gonna write it on a regular compact dics.

 

 

 

 

Can anyone tell me how you can short a movie clip. I have 80mb on my cd the movie is 81mb. I want to take that 1mb off how can I do it.

 

 

 

Movie is one hour and 20 minutes long and 20 seconds. The CD has only one hour and 20minutes is there a way I can cut that other 20 seconds clip.....

 

ALMIR,

 

I looked at the manual Lynn posted from the Dell site and it says no to DVD write!

 

Sonys site don't list a CRX310S Drive. Might of been made just for Dell.

You can burn VCD and SVCD on CD-R media.

 

cd

 

 

Whats VCD and SVCD?

 

 

Also can I just write this on a regular compact disc and watch it on my dvd player. My dvd player can play

 

DICS(digital audio), COMPACT DISC(digital video), KODAK,DVD,HDCD,Dolby(digital)...

 

 

 

Can it work..

A 1-hour and 20 minute movie would be fairly poor quality even on a DVD - best quality is 1 hour, and "good" quality isn't very good.

 

VCD and SVCD (two video formats on CD) don't give very good quality, and nowhere near that long. :)

It is possible to chop a Video file into small pieces, BUT it does not appear you have any Video tools.

 

To drag a Video file onto a data disc results in something which will probably play on a computer, but won't have the special format needed for it to be recognized by a DVD player - thus, the VCD (Video CD) and SVCD (Super Video CD) formats.

 

But you will need a Video editing tool. EMC 7 and 7.5 each have that, but LE means Light Edition - Dell selected the portions they wanted.

If you have Windows XP, you may be able to use the built in Windows Movie Maker to edit the video clip and output it to an mpeg file that you can then burn onto a CD.

 

HOWEVER, you'll have to burn a data CD and just burn the mpeg movie onto the CD. Whether your DVD player can actually play the movie is unlikely, but since CDs cost only a few cents, you can give it a try.

 

You should be able to play the movie on the CD on any computer if you burn it as an mpeg1 video.

 

When you're burning a data CD, think size not time. A 700 MB CD will hold a little less than 700 MBs.

 

If you were using a program like the full version of Roxio, then you'd need to measure the movie in time.

ALMIR,

 

If your system can handle EMC9 system requirements? Roxio offers a free 9 Trial up in the trial forum.

 

Your Dell LE software don't look like it includes much. Here is a excellent free mpg 1 vcd encoder. I have used this and the pay version that makes SVCD's, the quality is very good. It has input file restrictions avi and mpg worked fine if I remember correct, it's been awhile! TMPGEnc Version 2.524.

 

 

 

VCD and SVCD (two video formats on CD) don't give very good quality, and nowhere near that long.

 

I just checked some and here are my VCD, SVCD facts!

 

I started burning VCD'S in Easy CD 4 Deluxe, continued in Roxio 5 Platinum. At the time I had to use other software for SVCD.

 

 

A 1 hour 13 minute VCD Resolution NTSC 352x240 Video Compression MPEG1 Video bitrate 1150 kbit/sec

Audio Compression MPEG1 Audio bitrate kbit/sec 224 kbit/s

647mb on a 700mb CD-R

 

Then a 29 minute SVCD Resolution NTSC 480x480 Video Compression MPEG2 Video bitrate 1500-2500 kbit/s Audio Compression MPEG1

Audio bitrate 128-384 kbit/s

584mb on a 700mb CD-R

 

The visual quality is at or better than cable broadcast analog TV today. The SVCD quality is better when viewed on a digital TV or PC.

Er ... I think you forgot the link.

 

352x240 (MPEG1) and 480x480 (MPEG2) are going to look a bit grainy on even 800x600, let alone something like 1152x864.
