(and yes i mean that in real time) when i attempt to play them in either pc or dvd player they just rev and thats it they are unrecognizable , hell some just burn for hours then just quit burning without finishing.. i dont really understand why.. i've got dvd's that have t.v shows that are 1 hour long , with excellent quality have 4 eps - 4 hours of vids.. why can i not burn them the way i want to..

daffyduck44 Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Commercial DVDs which run round the two hour or greater mark are produced in a different manner to the ones you are trying to burn In best quality you will get about one hour of a movie on a standard DVD (maybe 1 hour 50 on a dual layer) To play DivX movies, you either have to uncompress them to make a standard DVD or, as you suggested, burn them as data in the same way as mp3 files. However, doing it that way will require a DVD player that can handle DivX, in the same way that you need a CD player with mp3 capability to play mp3s soo aside from the basic drag n drop data disc burn , is there a way to make a "jukebox" video disc? with the REMC9 officially? and in the randomosity of the universe is there a way to tell if the dvd player is divx compatable.. like the 48$ wally world special lol...

ggrussell Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Since you state that your video is 30min at 175MB, that tells me they are NOT DVD compliant (30min of MPEG 2 is about 2GB @best quality). Mostly likely DivX or Xvid. The original file is already highly compressed. This file will have to be uncompressed and then recompressed to MPEG 2 to make it DVD compliant. Processing time depends a lot on your hardware - CPU and subsystems. You didn't give us much info to help out. Post a step by step. What application you used, etc. Listing your computer specs may help , too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sys Spec's Dell XPS M1710 Wxp pro 2gb ram 2+ ghz Intel Core Duo prc 150 gb hdd optaric dvd-rw drive RMC9 i've tried with the "Create a DVD w/ MyDvd" and Quick DVD as well and mostly with the Divx DVD's again the files are 175.mb as an average for the vids with 20-30min worth of video files that are 90% of the time AVI's (homemade lil mini movies ect ) most of the step by step is just the standard bits of selecting files to burn and such thru whichever program set i try to use i will say i do preffer the DivX DVD program its simple and to the point and not very inundated with program stuff. i grant that hmm the average dvd can do 2-4hours of solid video (which at most would be 4 of these 30min clips) depending if there are any extra's but what i'd like to know is there a way to data format burn (like MP3 cd's) and have them be playable on a DVD Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
