DVD and avi's
« on: March 30, 2008, 02:38:15 pm »
Ok I have a empty CD that says CD-R on it. I was wondering if I could put some avi files onto and make it so that I can watch them on my DVD player. I am using Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon.

google about making a VCD and a SVCD (video cd and super video CD, the latter has better quality)

I've used Nero and burned several videos to a DVD disk and my DVD Player was able to read them.  Nero is compatible with Linux-running systems.  It is expensive though, I recommend you download using LimeWire or UTorrent.  The files I burned were .mpg extensions, it most likely would work with .avi files.  Mainly depends on your DVD player if it can read burned disks.  If you're running a fairly new one, it should work.

on Linux, K3B is 1000000x better than Nero.

No talking about Warez here, if you do it again you will be banned.  Don't make any warez-y recommendations


edit: btw, Limwire is a very unsafe program to be use.

Alright cool I have everything working with converting. But now when i'm about to burn it, it says "Please put a disc, with at least 28.7 MiB free, into the drive.  The following disc types are supported:
CD-R, CD-RW" The disc is completely blank and has 700 MB of free space.

My way is to get a copy of Winavi, convert the .avi file to a DVD file, then let Nero burn it to a dvd. Easy, works great.
