Fitting dvd on to cd-r

[-kyle-]

I fell upon this site google searching, and my friend told me it's possible to fit a normal dvd on to a cd-r and play it in my dvd player. Is this possible? The dvd i'm trying is 705 mb atm and in divX avi format? Something like that. Sorry if this is in wrong forum
Thanks in Advance.

If you have a dvd divx player just burn the avi on a cd, cut it if it wont fit.

If not you must make a xvcd but it will look like crap, https://www.videohelp.com/guides.php?guideid=85&howtoselect=6;31#85 or use DVDx.

Or just get a dvd writer instead.

Not a normal DVD, no. You can compress a video from a DVD with a format like Xvid or Divx to fix the whole video on a CD, but the quality will be much lower than the original DVD. And you would need to use your computer or a Divx DVD player to watch it. There are quite a few settop Divx players on the market at present.

You can also use SVCD or VCD formats to use one or two CDs for a DVD video conversion, but again, quality will suffer. These formats are described to the upper left in 'WHAT IS'....

You can also convert a 700MB Divx to a regular DVD without too much quality loss, and then it should play on about any regular DVD player.

And -kyle-, in the future please use a title that describes your topic, as per our rules to allow others to search for better for topics.

And welcome to our forums.

EDIT: Baldrick was ahead of me. A proper title looks much better.
