I have a video (.img) file that I want to burn to a DVD+R, but it will only take up about half the space on the DVD. There are other avi files I'd like to put on the disc, too. I don't have or know of a program that supports both image files and windows video/media files. The programs I have are DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, and Roxio DVD Builder. Does anyone know if there is a program out there that will convert one of these types of files to the other and then burn them (multiple video files, preferably with a menu) onto a DVD+R? It seems the easiest way would be if there is something that converts .img to .avi, and then I could use Roxio to burn the disc. If anyone has any solutions for me, please post. Thanks.
Extract the files from that IMG with Winrar for example, then load all your files in DVD Flick and convert to DVD . DVD Flick will let you create menus.
There is only one IMG file, which itself is already extracted from from the RAR file. I can play the IMG file using DVD Shrink. I can burn the IMG file using DVD Decrypter, but the program doesn't allow me to add other files to burn to the same disc. What I'm looking for is a program that will convert the IMG file to AVI format so that I can burn it to a disc with other AVI files. After lots of searching, I haven't been able to find such a program, so I'm starting to doubt that one exists. Does anyone have any ideas/solutions? Is my description not clear in what I'm trying to do?
You used Winrar to extract the IMG from the rar archive. Now use winrar again to extract the AVI/MPEG whatever the video is from the IMG wrapper.
You can also mount that image to a virtual drive and access your video file.
I was just about to use DVD Flick to create a DVD. I had just one video file in the project. The video file is only 900 MB and the program says this will fill up 95% of the DVD. Shouldn't it only take up about 20-25% of the space? I don't understand.
Do you have a Divx certified player, or just a regular standalone DVD player?If you have a divx player, then you can burn the 900mb file to a data DVD, and it will only take 900 MB or so.
However, if you want to convert that file to a DVD Video, using DVD Flick, to play it in a regular stand alone player(non divx certified), then the size will increase, depending on the quality settings that you use. If you use maximum quality, it will use up almost all the space( DVD Flick will calculate the bitrate depending on the space available on the disc). You can convert more than one movie and include them on the same DVD, but the more you add to the project, the lower the quality will be.
