cd burning

[stevec000]

hi all

just started downloading films and want to burn them to cd

i'm using nero to convert it but when i try to copy it says 'disk not enough space'

i know it can be put onto a 80 min cd but how?

Firstly it depends on what formatt you have downloaded the movies in, for example, MPEG4, etc. This will determine how big the file size is and how good the quality of the film is.

Secondly, if you look at the storage capabilities of the disc your trying to copy it onto you may find that the Movie file is too big.

Thirdly, try looking on the internet for a file "Shrinker" which should be able to convert large movie files into smaller ones.

If all else fails try putting it onto a DVD disc insted because this will be able to hold a larger size on it.

Hope this helped.

what format are you converting then into ? an 80 min cd is for 80 mins of music in cd format. if you are trying it im mpeg format (Video cd ecc) then you only have about 30-60 mins. if you are doing it in Divx then you could get up to 1 1/2 hours if done corectly. but I doubt you are using divx if nero is doing the conversion. there is the nero format that is slightly better than divx.
another tip never choose a custom file size that goes right up to the last byte available unless you want to do it in overburn mode. try leaving 10 MB free incase the converter miscalculates and makes it a bit big.
ultimately just get a dvd burner.
