Possibly.

Does the picture freeze?

Depends. It shouldn't, but ...

Depends. There are ways for it not to, but ...


You can't put all of them onto 1 DVD as-is. However you could burn a number of them to a couple of DVDs, depending on if you have an XVID-capable DVD player, or if you are going to watch them on a PC.

If you MUST fit them on 1 DVD, then you're going to have to re-encode them, because you need to reduce the bitrate or the running time to reduce the filesize, and obviously the running time isn't negotiable to change in this instance.

Then there's the other hand, which says that you wish to convert them to DVD so that a non XVID-capable DVD player can play them. http://members.dodo.net.au/~jimmalenko/AVI2DVD.htm or DivxtoDVD should be able to help out here. More than likely it will take you a number of DVDs though.

Yes you can do it with some loss of quality I'm sure. I use WinAVI video converter. Just click on AVI to DVD, select your files in the order you want and WinAVI will re-encode them as seperate titles. If the program splits them into more than one disc you ca re-author using DVD-Shrink to put them all on one disc.

Sure you can do it. No quality loss either. Just start an ISO data comp in say Nero, grag the files over and burn. The original poster never mentioned re-encoding or that they wanted DVD video.

The disc should playback fine on any number of MPEG4/AVI standalone players.

And how does that get 10,000 MB on one disk? (see original post)

[guns1inger]

I read it as 10 x 350 mb TV shows - approx 30 - 45 minute run times each file, at a guess.

[jimmalenko]

I read it as written - 10,350MB (a touch over 10GB) of files.

[guns1inger]

Either way, it won't fit as DVD footage.

[celtic_druid]

I also read it is 10 X 350MB's. Such releases are usually 350MB's each and SCIFI shows like BSGal, SG SG-1, etc. are 20 eps per series split into two halves so 10 eps.

Also they said shows and they didn't say 10,350MB's worth of shows. Basically my way just makes more sense.

i mean 10 X 350MB's xvid can i burm them into a dvd. i have a dvd standalone player that can take xvid so can i do that.

[pchan]

You can burn all the 10 xvid clips into one DVD-R. Each DVD-R can hold upto 4,300MB. If you are using Nero, just burn it in ISO format. Just make sure that you DVD player support xvid format. Why not try it out on a + or -RW media before you burn on a DVD-R ?

Sure, why not. Just burn as a Data Disc, and job's done.
