Regarding RealMedia Files with DVD

[SneffeL]

Intend to get my very first DVD writer. But I have totally no clue about burning DVD and I couldnt find a guide regarding my problem. So I have 38 videos in RealMedia format each around 130mb / 40minutes. How should I burn them?

You have to convert them to MPEG-2 first, then import them into an authoring program, like TDA, then burn to a DVD.

If you just want to burn them, then you don't need to convert although 38x130 is a little too large for a single layer blank.

Thanks for the inputs.. If I convert a .rm file to dvd, its too big. (150mb > 1.6gb). Is there other methods?

Use quarter (VCD) res.

Kill yourself because RM is from Satan, and if you have nearly 80 hours of RealVideo, you're probably going to hell anyway?

Heh.

You just need to trim down the bitrate, though - you're converting a .RM file, which has astonishingly sub-par bitrate, to DVD resolution but you're also giving it, if each one ends up 1.6GB, to roughly DOUBLE the bitrate of a good quality DVD.
