I have been downloading and buring a lot of movies over the last few eeks. I dont have a DVD writer yet so its restricted to buring VCD's only..and DivX since my dvd player supports it.

I download from mininova and there are a lot of formats available. I recently downloaded Superman returns and Devil wears Prada in KVCD format. On the computer the picture clarity is truly dvd like but the minute i burn it and play it on my normal dvd player the quality is highly reduced... the kind u would encounter in an old VCD... squares etc on the screen... why is this happening..even though i am buring and possibly Nero is encoding into VCD format shoudnt the quality remain the same since the source is excellent??? If im missing something please let me know and how i can retain the best quality after burnign.

Also a lot of times after having converted to VCD the movie becomes a bit too big for the space available..sometime sby as little as 20 MB... how can i make this fit on a 700 MB cd? is there any way or i have no choice but to use a program like windows movie maker and break the movie into 2 bits?

Thanks

VCD format will always lose quality....IMO! If I were you ..... go out and get yourself an external DVD burner! they are cheap now and you'll have a lot of fun ripping and burning and downloading and doing much better than doing VCDs!

HI THanks for the advise.... the dvd drive is gonna take a while to come..so can i use somethig temporary till then to increase quality...say burn it as a SVCD instead of a VCD... would that help?

Also any advise on what to do if the movie is exceeding the disk space by a little...anyway i can compress it on Nero itself to make it it or some other software...? I have been trying windows movie maker but havent got the hang of it yet..

Thanks

i havent messed with kvcds in a while but i recall they are about 800mb but to fit on one disc you need to burn them as a VCD and turn off standard compliant...assuming that it is just an mpg file otherwise it should be some sort of an img file.do a google for kvcd guide and u should find all info u need, but if ur player supports it u should stick with XviD or DivX, the quality will always be much better than kvcd, and i usualy find anything avalible in kvcd format should be in XviD or DivX as well.
