Which Disk for burning???

[chelsieuk]

Hi

I want to burn a movie so I can watch it on my DVD player which disk should I be buying. Also iIhave a five part drama on my computer I wanted to burn on disk for tv viewing, I know I have to convert it first because its an AVI so I used a program to do both.
I tried to get them all on one disk but it did not work even thoe the disk was 7.5 GB I tryed one and that worked.

Sorry I sound thick but why only one on such large disk the dramas are only 650MB each as AVI

Thank you for your help

I suspect that you are only burning one file at a time and the software in finalising the disk after the burn. convert them all and save on your hard disk and then use the built in windows burning support (or burning software of your choice) to burn the whole lot at once.

Hi
the soft ware is one you find on the net then you download for a free month it converts then burns i drag all 5 in to the software then click on convert then when that finished you click on burn.

Whats windows burning support?
by the way im with Vista, what about the other comments I have written any help with them?

Thx

Although I have never used it I found this software after a Google. It claims to be able to join or split sections of video so might be worth a try and its free.

There is a tutorial section to show you the processes involved.

Good Luck

I use this software for burning AVIs (and a whole host of other video files) to DVD:

It's only 30 Euros and is very easy to use. It also allows for menus to be added very easily to make accessing specific episodes very easy.

If you join all your videos and burn them to a DVD, you'll end up with a continuous lengthy video that you'd have to fast-forward to start a specific episode!
