Can I burn 15 min vob in a CD & play as DVD in DVD-playe

[sstavross]

Hi!

Ok here is what I want to do. I want to take same chapters from a movie from a DVD (total lenght under about 600 MB) and burn them on a simple CD, but I want my standalone dvdplayer to recognize and play them as a DVD.How can I do it? How do I burn it? As a cdrom? I have made all the nessecery files using dvd2one.

Thank you in advance!
All the best
Stavros

It dosnt work like that, you cant burn a dvd to a cd.

you will need to look at creating a SVCD or VCD or the other ones (DIVX, KVCD...)

WRONG....
Yes you can. The result will be called a cDVD(or mini DVD). Create an ISO image from your material....burn it to a CD-R....HOWEVER.....it is doubtful most DVD players will recognize it. Mine did.....but played it at about 1/5 speed....weird.

I stand corrected

I knew there was something like a mini dvd thing.

The problem is that CD 1x = 150kb/s while DVD 1x = 1350kb/s. cDVD are read as CDs so that means you need to spin the drive at ~9x to play correctly. Most standalones won't even read a cDVD disc. Those that will tend to be the cheaper players which actually just have a PC IDE DVD-ROM with a box/powersupply/remote.

Problem is they are often 1x~2x DVD-ROM drives and can't spin CDs fast enough to be read as cDVDs. You can check the DVD players list to the left and see what other people have reported, but best to make a disc and try it out.

Again not very likely to work

You can burn them and play them but only if your DVD player recognizes MiniDVD. Check the DVD player section at the site look, for your DVD player and if it plays MiniDVD your good to go.

There are also really small DVD's that are called Mini DVD....used in camcorders as either + or - RW's.....never seen one though. Has anyone?

I have - they are used in some of Sony's current range:
