    Default Burning DVD on to a CD-R

    Is this possible to do or not? If you can how do you do this if you have only a DVD driver and a CD rewriter? If this can't be talked about on the fourms then you can close this topic.

    You can't, the best you could burn is a SVCD, and even the DVD writers at the moment can't do the disk that are too big. However you could put a DivX movie on and use a DivX player for something like the PS2 and I think theres a few hardware ones.

    Speaking of making DivX files.
    I have tried Gordian Knot (its freeware) and its very confusing to use. Got any suggestions.

    You should try following the guides on Divigest or doom9.org
    That should get your started, you'll understand it better once you've done the thing a couple of times =D

    Getting a DVD onto your computer requires a DVD-ROM drive, which are about 60 dollars nowadays. You don't need a burner unless you want to burn DVDs. It's possibly, but from what I hear it takes a /long/ time.

    It's impossible to read a dvd from a regular cd-rom because a cd-rom's read lens aren't as strong as dvd-rom readers.

    vcdhelp.com is a good site I use for all my recording questions.

    If your going to be ripping your dvd's and encodeing them to divx so they can fit on a cd then I recommend encodeing using the xvid encoder.

    I find that some programs just don't work as well as others. I was told that Nero 6 was the best for burning VCDs, but when I tried it my VCDs would come through without any sound sometimes, which was, suffice to say, a pain in the ass. Perhaps the same sort of problem is happening with you, only with a double-sound or something. Try using a different program, like VCDEasy, and if the problem persists then try different formats, like VCD instead of SVCD.
