Ok, this may sound a little silly and may have been touched on before by others.

I have not tried this yet, but it would be possible to rip a DVD, use DVD2AVI and TMPGEnc to make a gig or so movie file, then burn this to a blank DVD in VideoCD format, thus allowing you to record awesome amount of movie (probably the whole of Star Wars series) onto a single (now relatively cheap, although you will have to tell me where to buy them dRD, as I missed your advice) DVD.

Obvious added benefit, no swapping CDRs half way through your playback! Also, cheaper, as the Star Wars Trilogy would be about 6 or seven hours of movie, which would take at least 5 decent CDRs, more expensive than 1 relatively cheap DVD.

I am sure you would have to use 48KHz audio. Maybe instead of posting, I should do some testing, off to the shops now to buy some new blankies!

OH Bugger, all the shops are closed.

Paul.

Drawback : Need DVD burner :-(

I have one, but not everyone does, of course. Sorry to those who have not yet invested.

Relatively simple process, but I prefer CVD instead of VCD, due its much better picture quality -- but I can still squeeze 3 average length movies on one DVD-R by moving my CVD movies off from CDs to DVD-R with very, very good quality.

For VCD-on-DVD we also have a guide available in our article section (as for making CVDs from your DVDs, etc).

Ah, the sites:

Thanks for the help, will try the Chinese Video Disc Format, although would that work in standalones?

If your player supports SVCD, it will work on CD as well -- on DVD it works for sure, since 352x480/576 is one of the DVD specs.

So is CVD the Betamax of Video standards recorded on CD Media? Better Quality picture, but for some reason did not take off? Can you record the same length of CVD onto a CDR as VCD?

(Too many abbreviations)
