movie data on DVD

[kj1983]

I have make a movie on my computer and save it as .avi, and the other as .mpg.

The movie is very long and I can't burn it as a DVD, so I save the movie as a data storate on my DVD-R.
I was wondering how can I watch my .avi/.mpg on my DVD-R on my TV?

Do I need any hardware or software? please help

You need to buy a dvd player that has the features to play raw mpg and or avi,check to the left under lists which players can do this.The other choice is a graphics card which has video out.

You could also still make a DVD out of it. Just author it and then use DVD Shrink to make it fit a DVD.

How long is it ? You should be able to fit 2 hours of pretty high quality video on a single sided/single layer disc, and up to 4 hours of better than VHS quality.

johns0 - I have a Panasonic / Sony that does not have the raw feature. only can play mp3.
"The other choice is a graphics card which has video out." So I can play the movie from my computer?

guns1inger - about 3.5 hrs, I don't want to loose the quality.

Is there a hardware device that play avi/mpg dvd data storage?

Check on the left where it has dvd players and look for the ones that can play avi.
