If you have a DVDROM drive you can rip it into a VCD/SVCD with freeware tools on this site which produce video tape quality or better on two CDR disks. I use SmartRipper, DVDAVI, TMPGEnc and burn to CDR's with VideoCD Creator included with EZCD Creator. It is readable on most PC CDROM drives (with software player) and most home DVD players. You loose all the special features of the DVD though. You can only make DVD's with a DVD burner as the disk's are special dual layer disks with capacities approaching 10 GIG.

Thanks bro! I see

I guess you can make a DVD on a CD-R. If you are using a authoring software like MyDVD , DVDit you can author a DVD and burn it to the CD-R. You can play those discs from a PC and use it in some DVDplayers. Trie to use CD-RW. The file structure is DVD.

With Impression CDpro or DVD you are making a kind of disc with a player software on it. It hasn't DVD structure but it plays mpeg2 and mpeg1. You can have menu.

All recordable DVD formats that can be played on home players are single sided, single layer 4.7GB. Dual layer recording does not exist.

Since THIS was the orginal question then I will answer only it

Can you make a cheeseburger w/o cheese?

MiniDVD's are DVD split across CD's. They're a bitch and a half to make, and since you have to have a 8x cd to play'em, very, very few DVD players can handle them.

What an excellent way to put it. Though I imagine you could
make a cheeseburger without the cheese if you used some synthetic form of cheese (though I question if we aren't already being submitted to such a thing), then it wouldn't be cheese, but may be considered a cheeseburger depending on how they marketed it.

um, though techinically its still not a cheeseburger.

Again an inaccurate statement...very easy to make, ripping and convert to mpeg2 is same as SVCD, and then author as you would a DVD....yes while very players play them, U.S. Wal-Mart carries 2 GE series models thats plays just fine, and I think we all know that Wal-Marts are like churches & liquor stores in the U.S...there is one on every corner.
