I have just finished downloading a double disc DVD and would like to burn it onto CD's to watch on a player. I don't have a DVD burner, but I do have the newest Nero demo and a regular burner.
Is there any way that I can burn them without having to download anything else, and if so, please let me know how.

Thanks,
Bennie

Im pretty sure you need a dvd burner to burn any kind of video...unless you burn it as a data disc...ill look it up.

Cool, man. If I do have to burn it as a data disc and take it to a dvd burner, would I have to still use dvd discs? Or could I just burn the whole file (6gb) onto one cd and take it to a computer with a dvd burner?

Ouch mate. Sorry, but 6gb wont fit onto a cd. It wouldnt even fit onto one dvd.

So, you could try putting it on an external harddrive, or just directly linking the two computers wth a usb lead and doing it that way?

Thanks ireland!![afterdawn legend]

It's a double disc dvd. Can I put disc1's data on a cd and disc2's on another? They have an Extras_TS file in them that contains a .md5 and everyone on another message board are saying I don't have to put it onto the disc. And just to be sure, I don't have to have any special program to burn this data onto a disc? I can just press Burn Data onto CD?

If you did mean 6 GIGABYTES, then you'd need to use about 10 CD's to fit it on.

You might get it on two DVD's, but you dont have a DVD burner, you have a CD burner, right? Therefore you cannot burn them to DVD.

Thanks ireland!![afterdawn legend]

Sorry, ill explain it to you properley BENNIE.

A CD is able to store something like 650 megabytes of data on it. Lets round a gigabyte to 1000megabytes (its 1024, but for this calculation we'll say 1000).

You have 6Gigabytes of data...so thats 6000+ megabytes of daa.

Your trying to fit 6000+ megabytes of data onto a 650mb storage device (cd).

Even if you halved it....theres no chance.

But, if you want to have fun burning 10 cds with it on....theres a program called h-j split: http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/


...that allows you to split files in multiple .rar files...so you could split it like 10 times, and burn each of those .rar's onto a CD and then using the same program, you could join it again on the other computer.

Thats alot of effort though, and alot of CDs.



Alternatively, you could invest in a dvd burner, you even an external dvd burner which you can pick up for about £20 of ebay. :D

Thanks ireland!![afterdawn legend]
