new at burning

[KPSK]

[b] Just bought a HP200I burner for pc. Tried t burn my first movie and it plays on pc but not in livingroom. Have a GE5803P dvd player in livingroom and site said that it played anything they threw at it. Can someone give me ideas to what I am doing wrong. PLEASE HELP. Also tried to burn on dvd+rw and dvd+r disk with same problem.

How are you burning your discs? What format are you trying to create: VCD, SVCD, xVCD, etc. You can't just drag and drop a MPEG file on a CDR and have your DVD player read/play it.

What program/template are you using to burn your mpeg files?

I am using nero5599 to burn with. The movie that I was trying to burn I got of the net. I t was called blade2.dvd.rip . I believe it was in svcd format.

WELCOME to the forum. 8)

I think you need to understand the different formats that videos are in.

Go to the What is section for vcd& svcd and study. There will be a quiz on monday worth 75% of your grade.lol

Also the newbie How to section will be of great help to you.

Good luck, The adventure begins here. The greatest forum and the people who run it.

I burned the movie and it plays well on pc, but will not play on dvd player in livingroom. I have a GE5803P player and site said that it played anything they threw at it, but got nada.

did you unpack (winrar) it and it was a bin/cue file ?

did you burn the bin/cue file as a image in nero (file ->burn image-> *.* file types -> select cue file -> hit go ) ?


and did you burn the above on a cd-r disk? > NOT a dvd disk ..

tried to burn on dvd+rw and dvd+r disk. I am very new to this as you can tell.

[BJ_M]

burn the bin cue file on a cd-r with nero as i laid it out above ....

and it should work ok in your dvd player

things like vcd and svcd are (even though source was dvd) meant to be burned on a cd-r disk .. ussually a 700mb disk .

if you download movies off the net - there is also a quality thing ..

things like TS, TC , workprint, screener are all vcd (lower quality) but at times some are marked as svcd (screener svcd) ..
svcd dvd-rip is higher quality and ussually almost same as dvd .. there are also dvd-r conversions done which are really good but huge downloads .

stuff like divx and xvid can not be played on a dvd player (standalone) until there are converted to a svcd, vcd or dvd-r format. the quality can be really good on these also .

but i would like to burn on dvd+r or dvd+rw disk since I purchased a dvd burner. just want to know how to go about burning that way with nero 5599 or do I need other programs to do it

Some of them have caps on them in order to conserve bandwidth.

[mysunfire1952]

but even with DSL ,would it normally take 8 hrs or more to download one movie type
Thanks

DSL, Cable, T1, T3, fiber...... If the site is capped at lets say at 15kbs, Do the math. It will take a long time. Any FTP sites I have been to usually are capped so I don't use them.
