I was wondering is there anyway possible that I can burn a video from my computer onto a CD-R and be able to watch it in my television DVD player or do I have to have a DVD-R and a DVD Burner or just a DVD-R???
They're called VCD and SVCD. If you want DVD quality, you'd have to burn a lot of them for a single movie. With DVD burners at $35-$40, why even bother?
Because he asked, and not everyone lives in America with access to cheap DVD burners, or even ANY DVD burners.
To split the thread, I'm looking for something to convert AVIs , ( mainly DivX/ Xvid), to KVCD.
My searches on P2p have so far found a host of KVCD films, ( mainly Spanish for some reason), but no codecs or progs.
Thanks for the pointer, but it's specifically KVCD I want, it gets a whole film on 1 CD and the quality seems to me to be up there with SVCD.
So, KVCD only please!
I specifically want this, not from the money saving aspects, but time and space saving.
You see I live in China, the quality of CD-Rs here are unpredictable and burning 2 CDs can take 4 CD-R attempts and a lot of time and cursing the lack of quality control in China.
It also would take up more space and I tend to move every academic years, and I HATE packing.
I now have a little more info, and am looking for a KVCD template for TMPGEnc, ( excuse me if I got the letters the wrong way round).
For free - it's not just the fact that Chinese money converts so badly to dollars pounds and euros, but you can't imagine what a faff it is to send money out of China, ( I have been quoted commission rates of 60%!)
Yep, that hits the spot.
Thanks.
All I have to do now is get into TMPGEnc and start "backing up" those XviD and DivX files...
And find a supply of CD-Rs where the failure rate isn't 25%.
