Answer» Right now i can only fit 40 MIN on a 120 min 4.7GB DVD-R. I want to be able to shrink the Flash videos saved on my computer and burn them to the disk. I want to be able to fit at least the 120 min and be able to run the DVD in my DVD player. Is this possible? How do I do it? Right now i can only fit 40 min on a 120 min 4.7GB DVD-R.

Is this possible? How do I do it?After reading over your question very carefully it becomes clear that the key is to hear is the ABILITY to play the DVD on a standard player. Check the documentation on your DVD player and see what formats are permitted. If the documentation is not clear, or if you wish to have it work on almost any DVD player, then the only option is to create a DVD movie. In general, these are the steps you would have to take asphalt: 1. Convert the files to a format that is usual by your movie editor. 2. Place the files into a new folder. If necessary do some edits on the files. 3. Using a suitable DVD movie maker program and all the files that you can fit into a standard DVD and start the burn process. The key issue here is this, a DVD movie has to be burnt all at once. There is no effective way to burn different portions and then go back and add something else. It just doesn't work that way. There are a number of really good programs out there that will burn a collection of videos to a DVD as a movie that is broken into segments. But they are all burnt at the same time. Perhaps some others here can make recommendations as to their favorite file format CONVERSION programs and DVD movie burner programs. Thank you all for your help The videos I want are from youtube. I'd really like to watch my fav series from my DVD player than sitting in front of the computer, that's what started all of this. I've gotten the videos onto a DVD, and it works in my DVD player, but the quality is crap; I can barely see the picture. The picture is so stretched it's blurry. I have to convert the video from Flash to WMV with RealPlayer Converter to burn it to a DVD using Windows Movie Maker (to string the pieces together)and Windows Media Center(to burn it). This takes me hours. I've tried converting the video to different formats, but they won't work with the programs I've got. Ideally I'd like to keep the videos as Flash, maybe the quality would be better, but I can't burn it to a disk. I also want to be able to fit the 180 min worth. Is this even possible, or have I just been wasting my time?Youtube videos are low resolution and will look really bad on a TV, especially a large screen one. Is there nothing I can do to fix it, to improve the quality, or shrink the video size on the tv? That's the only place I can get the videos in english...There is nothing you can do to improve the quality of Youtube videos, well maybe if you bought a super computer and spent a lot of time and effort working on them. They pretty much are what they are. Maybe over time they will improve.Until then.. Take a peek at http://www.hulu.com/ Hulu is just about ready to start charging a monthly fee for some of it's service. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/AheadoftheCurve/techbytes-hulu-subscription-service/story?id=10457307 Quote from: rthompson80819 on May 02, 2010, 10:09:29 PM Hulu is just about ready to start charging a monthly fee for some of it's service. Please make a short summary along with the link you gave. Place it on the Computer News Forum .That way more people will see it. YouTube is starting to add various resolutions on the videos. The thing to watch is that resolution is not being reduced by the conversion programs. DVD is pretty much an MPEG-2 format, so file sizes are large. Most of my digitized Hollywood movies from VHS tapes are over the 4.7 GB size LIMIT for single layer DVDs, so for that reason I have switched to a Blu-Ray player that does H.264. This gets me file sizes anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 the size of the original MPEG-2 file. Quote This gets me file sizes anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 the size of the original MPEG-2 file.

Yup. Lotsa H.264 movies on 1 disk. Even without blu-ray I can get 10 to 12 MPEG-4 (DivX) encoded movies on a DVDR-DL disk; especially if I use mp3 audio. Many DVD players these days costing $20-$30 can play these. Mine even has a USB socket for a pen drive, so no burning required.

I take the ~8GB, 2 hour MPEG-2 file from my VHS digitizer and run it through Handbrake to produce a ~3GB H.264 file. I don't have a Blu-Ray burner, so I use another program to prep a micro-SD card for play on a Blu-Ray player. |
