5 Movies, 1 DVD

[amitgg]

Dear friends,

I have movies on my hard disk in different formats (avi, rvmb, mov, vob etc). I want to burn these movies so that i can play them on my DVD player.

I have seen DVDs with 5 movies in one disc. Please tell me how can I achieve the same.

Thanks!

its really difficult

if ur dvd player supports playing DivX encoded files, just convert all movies to .avi and burn on dvd like a data disc. most players support .avi (DivX) files

 

[raksrules]

Converting to DivX is a great Idea.
I have a self burned DVD at home having 6 1CD Rip Divx Movies all in excellent quality and plays flawlessly on my 2 year old DVD Player

No. It doesn't support DivX.

and yes, it is possible. I have seen dvds of latest movies. the format is .vob but in compressed form. I don't know how they do it.

even iam facing a similar prob.... now with the broadband i have enough movies in avi format but i want to make dvd and keep it safe .... but the prob is how to make a dvd movie which fits in single layer dvd coz most of the softwares around bloat the size to some 12 gb or so when i try to convert it.

try using Nero Vision. It can convert multiple avi, vob files into a single dvd with menus easily.
u will have to compromise on some quality though if ur gonna fit 5 divx movies on a single dvd5. also i Dont know if it supports real or quicktime format though.

If you have a broadband connection and have downloaded several movies in Divx / Xvid (.avi) format then i suggest DO NOT convert into DVD format as it is of no use. I suggest better buy a new DVD player supporting Divx since they are quite cheap now.
Its not worth the time and effort you spend on doing the conversion.

do you mean that if i write those video files just as a data on a dvd with rest of my data files(such as exe, doc etc etc) even then the video files can be played on the div x player

you may use DVD to AVI (xvid/ divx / MP4 / H264) encoding !! if you have a 17" Display with 1280x800 working resoltuion 1 CD DVD_RIP would be fine means a 700 Movie without much of quality loss..

You may try combination of DVD Decrypter + AutoGK !!! there are hudreds of Tutorial available or you may try one of this on How to Make DVD to 700 MB RIP link also

Yes thats correct !!!
I have a DVD having 5 movies
3 are in Xvid 1 CD Rip format (.AVI FILES)
1 in .vob (extracted from a pirated DVD)
1 in .mpg forrmat

i am able to play all of them in my mitashi DVD player.
The player shows an explorer like interface and you can select the movie and play it.

 

[hansraj]

how much did the player cost u and when did u buy ..... i will have to check here in chandigarh...or delhi

 

[zyberboy]

it is better to buy a dvd palyer supporting divx having ubb port so u can see films stored in the usb

The lowest rate i have seen is 1.5k supporting dvix and usb port and works flawlessly

Just use a dual layer DVD and a Lite-On DVD Writer

The player is 2 years old and of Mitashi Brand. Divx was quite new then. But now most of the sub 5K players support Divx (and hence also XviD). I suggest you can go for LG, they have a good lineup. You can get cheap players like Weston too and they Do work very well but i dont know how reliable they are for long term use. But yes keep the USB port thing in mind before buying because. LG has come up recently with a USB support player but since its a new launch its a little expensive. I suggest diwali is round the corner so check out deals across electronic shops in your city and bring home a new DVD player this Diwali !!!

ok... i think time for me now to change my dvd player. This usb thing reminds me of one cable which i have. The cable has AV connectors at one end and the other end has S-video pin. now my laptop has S-video out port as well but when i connect this cable to connect my laptop and TV nothing happens.
can anyone tell me what is the reason

 

[raksrules]

@hansraj

i think this is was expected. Because you cannot directly connect your computer to TV. May be you need to have an intermediate transcoder. I think the AV pins that you have may be working as follows:
The AV side goes to output of the DVD player and the S-video side as an input to the TV so that it is possible to use the DVD player with TVs not having the composite video (3 cables) option. But i am not sure about this.
Please someone correct me if i am wrong.

 

[hansraj]

ya even i came to same conclusion after wasting my Rs 250 on that stupid cable.
