you can convert dvd-video to divx format or svcd/vcd, but NO, you cannot get dvd files to ever fit on a cd-r... you're talking about 4500 mb of information onto a 700mb disc. Think about it...
Hope that helps.

You have to convert the DVD video to something like DivX, VCD or SVCD or maybe even miniDVD.
Have a look at the site in my signature, you will find plenty of guides to start with.

well, i think you're confusing cd-r media with dvd media. if you're calling dvd blank media as cds...then i guess you're right. But there's a difference like i mentioned before.. dvd media is diff than a "cd" which is like i said before, usually referring to 700mb "cds"

nverlose1,
Don't go home just yet good guy, some new stuff is out and sometimes we forget about it.
Number One, FIRST you must have a DVD-ROM to play a DVD. If you have one of those (you might even pick up one on ebay for $20.00 or LESS.) you are good to go -
Here's what you do, just read this set of directions written by me for people like your fine self -
This ?Newbie Starter Recipe? is for the most part, is as a complete a package as anyone could wish It?s most outstanding plus factor, it only has 2 parts just 2.
It's second great factor, the guides are picture-by-picture, step-by-step, easy-as-pie.
We will start our dish with a main ingredient of DVD Shrink 3.0 Beta 5 ?
It's FREE, can do almost everything you could wish in as few as 3 steps - It will rip your movies (gets rid of that ?pesky? copy write protection thingy ;-) in generally 2 to 3 minutes, it can be used for your smaller DVD-5?s and it also allows you to compress your larger DVD-9's to the necessary 4.36GB in order to insure a nice burn without encroaching onto the very edge of the disc. The finished product is sure to please with no significant loss of video or audio quality.
?But wait there?s MORE !!?
For our friends with just a CD burner to work with, this compression thingy can be used to shrink all but your largest DVD-9?s to a size small enough to split and burn onto 2 CD?s in a Mini-DVD format. (We?re talkin? a pretty fair picture here because we?re still working with our VIDEO_TS BUP, VIDEO_TS IFO, and VIDEO_TS VOB files. ;-) Using CD?s now our cost is pennies a movie, how good is good ?
Afonic, one of the super good guys here on the forum has put together a FANTASTIC, can?t be simpler, guide for you with the antsy CD burners to use and here it is:
http://users.auth.gr/~ichatzim/minidvd.htm
(Taking a second to grab a breath before shouting out, like that late night
info-mercial announcer ;-))
?But wait there?s MORE !!?
For those who like the backups ?Their way? (a US colloquium, referring to a hamburger from Burger King) it also allows you to tailor your DVD?s.
(This is also for our friends who are doing the Mini-DVD thing as well as our DVD brethren.) You can keep in or remove audio streams menus, Director?s comments, extras and trailers all that?s required is to click-and-drag (re-author), it couldn?t be any easier. PLUS it will provide you with a nice neat VIDEO_TS folder for you, perfect to have Nero 6.0 burn for you.
?OK? you say, wondering why did the old guy is specify ?Nero 6?.
It?s that mini-DVD thing I mentioned, it?s right there as a choice under the CD heading. That?s my reason why, for those who wish to burn CD?s that will play in 90% of the stand-alone DVD players and all Windows PC?s. That?s why I recommended Nero 6 as the second ?must have? starter program.
I also feel that Nero 6.0 is a top-notched burning program.
A complete DVDShrink program download and step-by-step guide can be downloaded from ?

A 30 day, free, fully functional Nero 6 download can be had here:

Nero Burning Guide -> http://www.chrismccann.co.uk/nero.htm
FOR MINI-DVD?S CLOSE ?WIZARD?, USE ?NEW COMPILATION?,
MAKE SURE THE UPPER LEFT BOX SAYS ?CD? AND YOU HAVE ?MINI-DVD? HIGH-LIGHTED !
They are great programs PLUS being extremely easy to use -
Give it a quick try, you'll have a perfect burn this afternoon, really ?
Happy Holidays all,
?P?
