Title: What's the best way to burn DVDs?
Post by: prettylovely1 on June 12, 2007, 04:18:46 AM
Okay, So i'm really bad with computers but I wanna Burn some dvds for myself of H!P stuff( for when I'm on the road just me & my portable dvd player.) I have tried lots of stuff but I can never get them to play in my dvd player. even though I have a laptop it doesn't fit much and I have to use most of the space for work so i'll die without my fav Hp stuff to watch. so..... Any helping hands?

Try DVD Flick. Haven't tried it myself, but I heard it was good.

If you're just burning the stuff on the dvd the dvdplayer must have a divx playback or else it will just play disc's that are in the dvd format (=VOB). If you have files in VOB format you can burn them to dvd normally and the player should play them just fine.

I'd suggest ImgBurn (http://imgburn.com/). It burns plain data dvds and also video dvds. Guides are on the website.

Program called ConvertXtoDVD works pretty nicely. You just choose a video file and the program converts it to dvd file (audio&video ts files). After it's done you can just burn it to dvd and play it on your dvd player. If there's a separate subtitle file for the video this program can also integrate it to the video file.

IMO, Nero Express is best!

I use it and it's pretty good but some dvd players can't read the DVD since there is no zone specified ( I don't really care because my players are region-free ).

for burning DVD I used CDBurnerXP Pro (http://www.cdburnerxp.se/) but it doesn't seem to work on Vista so I use Nero ( even if I don't like it )

Yeah, most programs still don't work with Vista. I have dvd burning programs on my computer but I have try them out yet to see which one is better.

Thanks guys, DVDflick work really well for a while but then stop( what can you do right?) so I am now trying out other things just a helpful hint for dvd flick users it has alot of bugs and it is always being updated so you have to re-download it again & again.

Would anyone happen to know of a good, freeware program for Macs that can burn ISOs? I was talking to my neighbour's son (who has a G5 Mac), and he's looking for one.

Just googled this one:

http://www.centromedia.com/en/products/discburner/index.html (http://www.centromedia.com/en/products/discburner/index.html)

Its freeware and from its screenshots, it does burn image files, so ISO's shouldn't be a prob for it.

When I author my own DVDs I use TMPGEnc for reencode and for menus I use Adobe Encore.
Adobe is not that easy to use but the other is, you should have no problem to use it !

Why is it that when I try to burn several eps of H!M onto a dvd I can only fit like 2 eps (approx 700 MB each) and something smaller like an Utaban ep or something onto the disc? And thats without being able to add the subtitles too since I don't know how to burn them onto a dvd. I mean the disc says its a 4.7GB, so whats the deal?

Am I doing something wrong? I mean I can fit like 6 eps onto the dvd if I burn it as a data dvd but then I can only watch them on my computer. Is there some feature of Nero that could help or what?

^ Sounds like you request to burn them as DVD-Video, 4.7GB can fit 1Hour at high quility.

The only thing you can do is reduce recording quality to fit more minutes on the disk.
Or you could by a cheap new DVD-player that can play xvid/divx videos from a data disk.

Oh I see. I never thought of time as being an issue, I was always looking at file size instead. Thanks.
