FITTING MOVIES ONTO 1 OR 2 VCDS!!!!!!!!

[AICfan]

Do any of you know if there is any way to compress a movie to fit onto one CD-R, or do you know how to put it onto two CD-Rs? Whenever I try to use Nero to burn a VCD longer than 80 minutes, it says that there isn't enough space on the CD. I know this is possible, but I'm not sure how.

here is a tip:

read.

this whole damn site is devoted to doing that. haven't you even looked under any of the links?

some people are so lazy.

Try this:

If that one does not help take a nice long SLOW journey through
the "User Guides".

We all read and pray.

One requirement is at least 5 hours of reading " How to's" and a MINIMUM of 50 coasters.



Don't give up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theboywonder]

hehe... too true

I was going to post "If you respond back in less than 5 days then
don't bother", but I thought it was a little rough.
I do not mind pointing people in the right direction. Sometimes that
is all it takes.

Goodluck again!

From MrPhelps:

and a MINIMUM of 50 coasters.

I am about a 1/4 of the way there. I did my reading and burned on CD-RW.

[theboywonder]

heh. i reeeeeally should buy some cd-rws ....

hmm... i guess the only thing that makes coasters for me, is me being stupid and trying to push my computer gently gently whilst its burning..... with no buffer under-run protection and a measly 2mb buffer.... it doesnt hold out very well.... hehe...

I really didn't believe it when people said burn at no more than 4x until a few coasters, I only have 4megs of buffer and I can't go at 8x.

[theboywonder]

noway?!

that sucks! i can do 8x aslong as i dont use anything more intensive than notepad hehe....

8x on the fly is fine too!

my friend just got a cheapo 32x write cd-rom drive.... tested on my before installing on his system.

can do on the fly on mine @ 12/16x .... and burns fine @ 24x from hard drive (couldnt try 32 cause my media didnt support above 24x)

Well I don't have a answer, but I'm using Nero and it won't let me select anything slower then 8x. I'd like to go 4x or less when making svcd's. So I have been told i should be doing. cheers Will

[theboywonder]

no 8x is fine. i burnt a load of vcds at 12x and they work perfectly.

it depends on your cd-writer....

whats the make and model of it? (important thing is the max speed and buffer (buffer underrun protection is useful too).
