DVD2CDRW?

[Devanshu]

I want to rip a movie but I dont have a dvd burner...I want to know if there is any way I can put the movie on a CDRW (preferabaly without losing quality, but if there is no other way, I can deal with some quality being lost). If there is, please guide me in the right direction. Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

ripping to (S)VCD requires DVD-ROM to rip DVDs and CD-RW to burn to CD-Rs

lotta info on those pages...read through them carefully...there are many, many programs to choose from at each stage.

personally, my method is DVD->smartripper->dvd2avi->tmpgenc->nero->SVCD

if you want to maintain the highest quality, you will need to encode to SVCD. however, if you have a standalone dvd player, make sure it can support SVCDs. find out here: https://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers

keep in mind thou, there will be quality loss. how much depends on YOU. there will be a trade-off. if you want higher quality, then you will need to span the movie between more discs...(i.e. you will be getting up more often to change discs during a movie). if you're lazy and don't wanna get up too many times to change discs, then you will need to sacrifice some quality.

also, there's another trade-off. higher quality usually requires longer encoding time you have to wait for. personally, i encode when i goto sleep/work, so it's ready by the time i get up/come back from work...so, it's fine with me.

also, SVCD is for main movies. if you want to keep any of the extras, then you will have to rip/encode (go through the entire process) with those extras.
