i need to know how to copy one movie onto multiple cds?

[mike21]

a movie never fits onto one cd so i need to know how to use more than one cd to copy a vcd or svcd,i have nero,easy cd creator 6 and winoncd to use any help would be great.

[flaninacupboard]

VCD and SVCD's only come on pressed discs, and these are never more than 80 minutes, which a CD-r will easily contain. there's obviosuly some information you've missed out.

[mike21]

i mean i need to burn avi into vcd!like downloaded movies,does anyone know how to use multiple disks?

[Gazorgan]

Said againa nd again: Read the guides.

VCD's are 80 minutes/disk. SVCD's are variable, but generally 45-50 minutes/disk. All the guides know this.

[mike21]

i mean downloaded movies copyed onto cd in the vcd format!why cant you understand this?i need to know how to use more than one cd to copy one movie?and please no more amateurs.

[dbaker6165]

First let me try to interpret what you are trying to say...

You downloaded a movie.... you want to convert it to a vcd... you understand that the whole movie will not fit on one cd-r... so you need to know how to "split" the movie into 2 or 3 different files to put on 2 or 3 different cd-r's....

If this is your delima... then you have came to the right place! Like everyone else has said... read the guides on this site!

However, you can use virtual dub to split the file into 2 (or 3) files then use tmpeg mpeg encoder to convert the movie files to a vcd compatible format. Nero has a built in encoder (that sometimes works). I wont tell you how to use it cuz that is a waste of time... so read the guides cuz reading fundamental dawg! 8)

[mike21]

thanks alot mate how do i use this virtual dub?and were can i get it?can you tell me step by step please, thanks

[flaninacupboard]

Jeez, first up, don't call anyone here an amateur. not likely to make anyone want to help you. Secondly, read the damn guides. they are there so we don't all spend 168 hours a week telling people like yourslef how to do something this basic "step by step".
Follow the guide on the left there, "How To: CONVERT" and read the .AVI -> VCD guide. if you have any -specific- questions or problems, get back to us. Surely you understand the guide will be better for you, it has step by step instructions and annotated pictures. Go look.

[mike21]

erm firstly i already know how to convert if you took the time to read my question you would know that,secondly you are an amateur boy!

I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SPLIT A MOVIE SO IT FITS ONTO ONE CD!SOMEONE SAID TO USE VIRTUAL DUB SO I THANKS HIM FOR HIS EXPERT HELP AND ILL LOOK INTO THAT LATER!

Checkout the number of posts from the "amateurs", Mike.

Nice goin'. No wonder people hate newbies.

I have only been doing this for about a month. I still can't get a single VCD to actually play and I can't get an answer for my problem...however, I am NOT criticizing the people who might be able to help me.

Besides even I know where to the answer to your question. Check out VCDeasy in the tools section.

[jdizzy40]

Let me put it in a simple way. No one is going to hold your hand Mike and walk you through step by step. As stated before read the guides to the left which were put together by hard working and dedicated people and by far the person who runs and keeps this site going. Rome wasn't built in a day and its unlikely that you will mint your first VCD by tonight so you can run out and tell all your friends just how neat of a guy you are and how computer savy you are. Back up, show some respect and you'd be amazed at how much help you would of gotten by now. Enough said.

[Bilal]

Give the guy a break he wanted a simple answer but you kept giving him long and wrong answers and telling him to read guides because you didn't try to understand his question he wants to fit a movie on one disk, Mike you'll need tmpgenc which you probably have and download one of the templates in http://www.kvcd.net you can fit a 2 hour movie on one disk in VCD quality.
good luck
Bilal

-- Bilal, I very rarely edit other people's post but I am going to do it for you simply because your post is just so inappropriate. It is obvious that YOU haven't read problem and are giving the wrong answer. The author wanted to encode a movie (originally in AVI format) to S/VCD but due to the length of the movie would need to span it over more than 1 CD. Thus the solutions -- and they are simple as written by a number of people.

KVCD or any other XVCD is a possible solution but not specifically the one he asked for. I suggest that you read the thread properly in the future before taking the presumption that everyone else is wrong.

With that behavior, Mike, I think nobody will want to help you.

The problem is that the people in this forum didn't understand you 'cause your question is very, very, very basic. If you don't know how to split a mpeg file, you know almost nothing.

For that reason, the companions told you that FIRST you have to read some AVi-VCD guides. And then, you will can to ask for your doubts.

It's very easy to come into a forum and ask for simple newbie questions. You must to make an effort.

You have some solutions: You can split your avi file with VirtualDub. Or, when your mpeg is created, with the "mpeg tools/cut and merge" in TmpgEnc. You can too, with the help of a bitrate calculator, fit a mpeg movie into a cd using Variable Bit rate (and do a KVCD, XVCD, CVCD...). But first... READ.

Right there are 2 ways of doing this with TMPGEnc.

Like has been mentioned you can fit 80min of standard VCD onto a 700MB/80min disc.

If your movie is longer than 80min you will have to split it over 2 discs if you are creating standard VCD.

Option1

When you open your avi in TMPGEnc use the source range to encode the first half of the movie only, when this is done use the source range again to encode the second half.
You end up with 2 seperate mpeg files that you can create your 2 VCD's from.

Option2

Open the AVI in tmpgenc and encode the whole movie in one go. Then use TMPGEnc merge and split tools to cut the movie onto 2 halves.
You end up with 3 mpeg files, the movie as a whole, and the 2 halves that you create your VCD's from.


If you dont know how to use the source range or merge and split facilities in TMPGEnc check the how to convert guides there are step by step instructions there.

[mike21]

thanks for all those who have helped!ill do it later but one more thing ive just got easy cd creator 6 and it says something about split movie into 2 parts from current location but when i click on the button to do it nothing happens,how do i get it to work?and please no more amateur boys.

[Conquest10]

and please no more amateur boys.

this, from a person who doesn't know how to split an mpeg?

[mike21]

muhahahaha i do know now i can do it with easy cd creator 6!its so easy i dont need any other tools,am i the MAN or am i the MAN?

[vitualis]

The only thing you have continually demonstrated in this thread is that you are an idiot... by being antagonistic to people trying to help you and refusing to actually read the plentiful information.

Using Easy CD Creator... well if YOU are happy with that solution, then good for you. I would strongly suggest that you stop calling other amateurs, however, as it is not only insulting, but the irony is just a little bit striking.

To split a single movie over two discs as VCDs, there are two/three general solutions.

One, split the AVI first and encode each segment separately (or use TMPGEnc to select the range).

Or, encode the whole thing and split the MPEG.

Both processes are described in guides in detail and pictures on this site. I suggest you use them if you want to actually learn. Before asking for more help, actually try it first and so you can give some useful information about your attempt rather than just "help".

Regards.

[mike21]

like i said i already know how to do it with cd creator 6 what more do i need to know?im done with this board!

[housepig]

what more do i need to know?im done with this board!

sweet.

now if only a few other notable posters got fed up....

[ManixTT]

what more do i need to know?im done with this board!

I'll bet he'll come crying back someday.

[Conquest10]

he'll probably use another name so he won't look stupid.

[housepig]

he'll probably use another name so he won't look stupid.

unless his attitude changes, he'll look stupid under any name...

[flaninacupboard]

This thread is a prime example of why the waiting period for posting should be 6 months!

It's also a good examlpe of why we need a lifetime ban. If he's so sure he's done with the board, deny him access forever.

[Dragonsf]

He must be a genius.After 12 posts, he knows how to use EZ CD Creator (whatever that might be) and produces perfect VCDs with that tool.Others - like me - take a life to learn - and still learning.And I never never would say, that my products are perfect.OK, he didn't write that in this words, but it sounds like.His poor parents, teachers and maybe partners.

[Conquest10]

check this out. i thought he was done with this board.

[vitualis]

Obviously the author has found a "solution" to his problem and is "done with the board". If he hasn't, he can always start are new thread. Similarly, if someone else on the forum wants to discuss ideas or issues contained in this thread, just start a new one and link back to the appropriate post.

This thread will be locked.
