What kind of Cd's do you burn movies on? Do you own to enjoy a DVD+r burner to burn a movie?

Can you burn movies near a DVD-R?

Answer:
I recommend that you use DVD+ or - R (or RW) disks. Saving them on DVDs instead of CDs has two advantages.

First, DVD disks can hold 5 to 12 times more background than CDs. What's good roughly that is you do not hold to reduce the competence of the movies you are trying to keep. Just similar to the file size of a 7 mega pixel picture is larger than that of a lower trait 1 mega pixel picture, the smaller you make the movies, the worse the talent is gonna be, generally speaking. *** BUT IF the wallet size of each movie database you have is already small plenty to fit into a CD, whether you use a DVD or disc disk will NOT make a difference within the quality of the movie. ***

The second assistance of burning DVDs is that you can POTENTIALLY make them playable on a stand-alone DVD player for your TV set.

DVD OPTION

If you agree on to buy a DVD drive/DVD disks, consider the followings.
If you just wanna recover the movies to play on your computer in the adjectives, you can buy DVD disks that are supported by your DVD drive. (There are single layer and double veil DVD disks. Some DVD drives only own single layer writing aptitude.)
If you wann play those DVDs on a stand-alone DVD player, make sure that DVD disks that you choose are compatible near both the DVD drive on your computer AND the stand-alone DVD player. (DVD + or -, DVD-R or DVD-RW, etc etc.)
In order to clear DVDs playable on your stand-alone player, you have to burn MEDIA DVDs (not notes DVDs). To burn media DVDs, you also call for a special software (such as Nero), and this type of soft may or may not come with a DVD drive your purchase for your computer.

disc OPTION

I believe (please check) you cannot play movies in CDs on a stand alone DVD player. However, you can other watch them on your computer.

If the record size of each movie is larger than 700MB or so AND you enjoy got to use CDs, consequently you have two option. Making it small enough to fit within one CD OR cuting the movie folder into pieces and using two or more CDs to accommodate the entire movie.

As I mentioned earlier, reducing the record size is likely to ruin the power of the image (and audio). If the current movie is contained by MPEG/MPG or VOB format, changing it to AVI format will minimize the risk of ruining the talent. AVI files are more compressed than MPEG/MPG/VOB. In some cases, you can reduce the wallet size to 40 to 50% of the original short a noticeable narrowing in the ability. For that purpose, you have to install a video converter (soft) contained by order to convert a profile from MPEG/VOB to AVI. Additionally, you will have to install DivX codec (free at www.divX.com) so that your computer can play AVI format files. If the files are already within AVI, you can only create them smaller at the expense of the quality.

The 2nd remedy is to take the files you hold, chop them into pieces and save them on separate disks. This method, you do not have to furnish up the current qualtiy of the movie. A video converter/editing software will allow you to do the chopping.

HOW TO GO FROM HERE

Alright, you got the concept, I hope.

So, first check how big the video files are.

If the report size of each movie is small eough for a disc, then, don't even deduce about purchasing a DVD drive and/or burning a DVD disk, unless you want to play those movies on a stand alone DVD player.

If the profile sizes are small enough for CDs, and you wanna play them on TV, you enjoy to know whether your DVD player can take CDs (I doubt it.)

If the record sizes exceed the limit for CDs, consider whether you are ready to reduce the virtues. Keep it in mind that the standard DVD movies we can purchase and rent are give or take a few 3.5 to 4GB per hour. Reducing it to the size that fits into a CD would spawn the quality equivalent to video recorded into a VHS video.

If the answer is yes, burn a CD as "VCD" (about 10MB/minute) or "SVCD" (20MB/minute) depending on the duration of the movie. Alternatively, you can return with a video converter to turn it into an AVI file to minimize the qualtiy cutback before burning a disc.

If the answer is no, you can either 1) obtain a video converter and chop up the files into pieces smaller than 700MB or so (I don' remember exactly how much a CD can hold.. ) or 2) burn a DVD.
I use DVD-R to burn movies, so it's possible.
If you format a movie (I pilfer it you own the original to receive it legal) to go on a compact disc, it'll be of very poor part.
DVD, and yes because it is multilayered. CD's are not.
You can put movies on a regular cd. The quality wont be as devout as with a dvd though.
hell, i don't know what i am doing. i simply keep popping dvds surrounded by there and clicking and typing and ccussing until sometjhing works.
You can also Burn movies on regular CDs that you put music on, You burn them as VCDs, but the picture quality is really low.
Its best to do it on a DVD.
you can burn movies to any type of disk ... you dont hold to have a dvd burner to burn vcd or svcd but dvd is better ...
when i burn DVD's i burn them onto DVD-R and its other worked.
You need DVD+R 's or DVD-R 's to burn an actual dvd that plays within your conventional dvd player. IT does not matter - or + . Or you can of late burn the actual movie file onto a disc which does not require a DVD burner. But this can not play on your regular DVD player. So it all depends on if you want to burn a DVD or purely the movie files. And yes you have to own a DVD burner to burn a dvd. A cd burner does not burn DVDs.
The capacity of a disc is too small to copy a movie onto.

With DVD, there are three formats; +, -, or both +&- The +&- DVD is usually surrounded by the format of;
RW +&- meaning both reread & rewrite.

Which one you should use is dependent on your DVD drive. Read you DVD Users Guide or jump to the WEB page, using the model number, find out if you have a; -R, +R, or if it is both a + and - R.

If it is both a + & - R after you can use any of the three DVD formats; -R, +R or - & +R.

The issue is, should you wish to play your DVD surrounded by a different computer, the DVD drive has to be impossible to tell apart as yours unless it is both + and -R.

You can copy video/movies onto either of the three types!
Yes you can.
However, here's a tip.
If you want point DVD's, buy
a DVD recorder. (don't waste
money on a cheap one)

The recorder does a much better
employment at synchronizing audio and video,
and partitioning.
It's faster and easier to work. You
can also record VCR's and home
movies, minus skips,drags and
fuzzy video.
The cheapest is the CD. Its call a VCD it can be burned by a CD burner. The second is rather more expensive witch is DVD. You have to buy DVD burner for this witch cost nearly $50-$150. And lastly its the BLU-RAY. Its the most expensive one cost about $999-$2000 but holds longer highly developed quality movies. It have 50GBs-200GBs of space to burn movies on depending on witch disk you buy. You also need a BLU-RAY player to play BLU-RAYs.
