dont use nero to encode. download a more dedicated encoding program. look around this site and youll find alot of help on encoding. as far as encoding length goes, its a pain in the butt. encoding is best done while your asleep or away from your pc since it takes such a long time to do.

[sosoluckee]

SO THE ENCODING IS GONNA TAKE A LONG TIME, ANYWAY??

ONCE I ENCODE IT ONE TIME, DO I HAVE TO ENCODE IT EVERY TIME OR JUST ONCE??

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BETTER SOFTWARES ON HERE TO ENCODE SINCE YOU RECCOMMEND ME NOT USING NERO.

HELP

THANKS!!

You'll find your Caps Lock key directly above your left-hand Shift key.

Use it.

lol way to point that out mirror image. well kid download virtual dub for cutting avi's (long movies) download tmpeg, panasonic encoding, lsx mpeg encoder, and a bunch of codecs. you can dl them on kazaa and probably trial versions off of links on this site. since your already wanting to pirate dvd movies, id recamend just using kazaa. hehe.

IT WILL TAKE LONG IF YOU HAVE A SLOW-ASS COMPUTER NO MATTER HOW MANY SOFTWARES YOU TRY. SO THE BEST WAY IS TO DEAL WITH IT, LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT AND PLAY LESS GAMES AS IT MOVES ALONG. HOPE THAT HELPED.

I WAS TOLD I DON'T HAVE TO ENCODE
I JUS WANT TO PUT IT ON A CD AND PLAY IT IN MY DVD.
SO WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?

CAN I BURN IT AS A DATA?

HELP!

Please turn off CAPS as it means you are screaming and is not polite to scream at the people who are trying to help you.

If the video file is an mpeg 1, you can burn it as a VCD without encoding it, to play on your DVD player. If it is an avi you will have to encoded to mpeg b4 you can burn it to CD-R(W)

First, tone down the caps lock. Please. It hurts our eyes.

Second, you'll notice some "how-to" links directly to your left. Read and learn---people have put blood sweat and tears into making it easy for you.

Third, Nero sucks for encoding.

Have a nice day.
