Multiple Videos to VCD on 1 DVD-/+R/RW

[yakuzas]

I have a very large collection of video files which I'd like to make a VCD out of but instead place the VCD file onto a DVD.

If possible I'd like this to have each file as a different chapter.

The files are more than 4GB..... the files are Music Videos so I can remove certain videos without complaining (as if it was a "Pron" movie).

Yes, I know I mis-spelled Porn -> Pron.

The files total out to 6.02GB.

So please help.

If anyone also knows of a program that will convert the files to VCD without taking as much time as WinAVI does then please give me the name of the program.... and a link to purchase/DL the program legally.

No such thing as a true "VCD" on DVD media. But you can always take the actual MPEG1 data and use it in a DVD authoring app and create a DVD. If it's VCD compliant NTSC video or PAL video (but not NTSC film) then it'll import directly into an authoring app. Remember to SampleRateConvert the audio from 44100 to 48000 Hz first before importing it. (Obviously, if it's a muxed program, demux first of all to get those separated audio + video elementary streams).

There are many guides for this technique. <---

Yep, the only thing you need to do to VCD-compliant MPEG is to upsample the audio. I'm thinking from your post that your videos are not VCD-compliant yet, and are in other formats (divx/xvid ???).

TMPGEnc Free is probably the best to use to convert to VCD-compliant MPEG, and is free ! All you need to do is unlock the audio section of the template and make sure the audio is 48KHz, or alternatively, use authoring software such as TMPGEnc DVD Author which will do the upsample for you on the fly.

Ulead DVD Workshop 2 will not only upsample your VCD-compliant MPEG-1 files' audio to the DVD standard 48 kHz on the fly without re-encoding the video, but if any of your MPEG (or AVI) files are not compliant, it'll re-encode them to standard for you. Pretty handy for an authoring app, isn't it?

So does Nero, but you don't see people who know recommending it

While I agree that Nero's encoder is quite bad, DWS's MPEG.Now encoder is quite decent, in fact. I still use TMPGEnc for "serious" jobs, but you might be surprised at just how good DWS's encodes look.

OK, the files are in multiple formats (.AVI, .mpg, wmv, etc.)

I want to know what the best way to put them on DVD(s) so I can play them on my DVD player.

They are over 6.02GB.

So how can I compress the files enough to fit most of them onto a single DVD?

Yes, I've tried nero and only been able to get up to my Papa Roach section of Music Videos. This was accomplished by editting all of the videos within Nero Vision (Platinum 7) and took over 4 hours long.

The editting process was for removing portions of the videos which seemed pointless, like the Busta Rhymes VS the Ram in the music video "Break ya Neck" yet I do beleive it was funny to watch it was pointless to the actual music.


so, what is the best way to make a DVD out of these computer format videos???

None have been converted to VCD yet....I forgot that I have 3 blank DVD+R(s) lying around.

can your drive burn dual-layer?

[Cornucopia]

Skip the filesize stuff--How long are they (in total minutes)?
That will be better at determining your bitrate.

Why do you have to have them all on 1 disc?

[yakuzas]

My drive is a normal DVD-/+R/RW cd-R/RW burner/reader.

I don't think it's dual Layer *Checks* Nope.

I have them on my hard-disk(Hard-drive) not a single disc.

I want as many as possible on 1 disc.

the files are:

to between 2:30 - 6:00.

As I said they're music videos.

List = 167 files......whoa if you want to find all the times then be my guest.

[yakuzas]

They are rock & rap music videos.

Few are double mabe 3-7 tops.

where could I find some Double-sided DVDs or cds
