.wmv->??

[Rumaxsuriya]

Well....this is the condition....

* i need to write a video (WHICH I RECORED MYSELF IN MY SONY CAM) to a cd

* since there was no option in my sony utilities to copy to hard-drive ..i had to run the tape and record using windows movie maker (XP)..

* windows moviemaker saved the file in .wmv format.

* I want to write the cd , such that it supports universal reading facility.

* i copied all the video.wmv files (7 in total) into a cd and tried it in a cd and dvd player(CONNECTED TO A TV)..BUT IT SHOWED DISK ERROR or DEDECTED A BLANK CD.

* so.....i changes the cd..BUT THE SAME PROBLEM lives again..

* so....should i convert the .wmv files into other files??if so please tell me how..OR can create a vcd from a .wmv file??..if so..HOW?

...??

Hi Rumaxsuriya,
Welcome to the forum
regarding ur problem
u need to burn the cd as a video cd rather than as a data cd..
nero will burn ur .wmv as .dat default extension of the VCD.
Then u will be able to play it

hey can i possibly convert my WMV files to avi or mpeg. the wmv files r huge and only play on windows media player...

 

[ice]

yeah, try Virtual Dub

 

[Sourabh]

VCd's

USe nero to burn those .wmv files in vcd format

 

[club_pranay]

some combo players(DVP 320) also plays mpg files. they r less buggy.

 

[talrejaharish]

Hey dude -

You say that WMV files are huge? It's a compression format, which means that it will make the files smaller. How can they be huge?

DAT files are more heavier than WMV files.

And get this - QCD 4.5 and Winamp 5 can play WMV files.

 

[technoteen]

people virtual dub no longer supports conversion of wmv format due to legal problems

 

[ice]

use virtual dub

Btw out of curiocity, Eminem, Avril Lavingn,[missing an e] arent rock.
Em is rap. Avril is Punk Rock.

Rock would be the doors/metallica/nirvana..

hey DJ...dude i wanted to know if its possible to convert WMV to AVI or MPEG... and yes..like ice said...ROCK = the above + Pearl Jam + Pink Floyd + CCR...know wat i mean? nothin personal though...

 

[tarey_g]

wmv compression is better , use nero's burn a vcd function for making it vcd. if u want to convert it use virtual dub ...best

 

[DJ Shaji]

use virtual dub

.................stuff.......................
Em is rap. Avril is Punk Rock.

.......................more stuff................

You think I don't know that? I'm a DJ, for crying out loud! What I meant to say was that Rock's my primary passion, but I also listen to Eminem and Avril.

So you want to talk about language, eh? Well then, I won't be much of a gentleman if I didn't tell you that arent is written as aren't.

Well, that said, here's the answer to FunkyB's query -
For Windows Mediaâ„¢ codecs 7.0 and lower, you can use Nero's in-built encoder to directly convert WMV files to MPEG and burn them to VCD's. For Windows Mediaâ„¢ 9 Series, you'll need an encoder like WinAvi (*www.winavi.com/).

hey hey hey ..
i dont think VirtualDub works on wmv ...
it gives some error abt 'microsoft preserves the rights blah blah blah ..'

instread try "Video Edit Magic"

very good software

 

[FunkyB]

thanx DJ...

I used Nero Ultra 6 to create a VCD from a wmv file
The conversion from (.WMV--VCD)took a very long time (say 40 mins for 50 mins movie)(it said ENCODING THE FILE >>PLEASE WAIT)
Also i saw the SVCD option available in the nero video menu

first of all

**WHAT IS SVCD?What is the difference between VCD and SVCD?

**VCD plays automatically in DVD player/cd player, but if we insert it into a system, we have to manually open the MPEGAV folder in the VCD and play the required .dat file (say AVSEQ01.DAT)
How to create a autorun file such that the vcd automatiaclly plays in both DVD/VCD/CD players and also in computer

 

[theraven]

to autorun vcd's etc ... u have to set "autoplay cd's" option in ur media player
when u insert the cd ... it'll ask u what u wanna do with it
all this is in windows XP ofcourse ...
when u have multiple media players ... it gives a list on cd insertion and u can choose what u wanna do

for what is svcd etc see here
*www.videohelp.com/svcd

 

[shoegoe]

I wanna play the VCD in any computer like STAND ALONE CD wink:
Not my manually editing the autorun path in the media player
i just wanna make a VCD which autoplays in any dvd/vcd/cd player and any computer irrespective of the configuraion .. like even with out windows media player( like adding a standalone media player into the VCD

Anyway thanks RANVEN

but this is my real problem
