Divx To Dvd Or Vcd.. !

[casino man]

Hello all..

Just taken me almost 10 days to finally get a 'real' version of T3..
I am able to view it thru the divx player.. but, i want to transfer it either to a dvd or vcd, so that i can view it on the dvd player..

i would really appreciate any help, i have also tried using tmpgenc but that just make the movie freeze.. ( i have tried using 3 different versions of it too! )


Many thanx

Hello everyone~
I have a similar problem. I am very new at downloading movies from Kazaa, but do have some questions! I will be very appreciative of any help.

Because I'm just now starting to download movies from Kazaa (in the avi and/or DivX form), I'm looking into buying a dvd burner for my computer and a standalone dvd player. I currently only have a DVD ROM player and CD Burner on my computer.

ok....I've noticed that many of the movies are less than 700MB. I have burned a couple of them to a CD-R as data and they do play on my computer. Here are my questions..(please know that I have spent literally about 48 hours constantly trying to figure this out myself using many sources including dvdrhelp.) Unfortuneatly, I can't really experiment since I do not yet have a dvd burner or a standalone player.

1. WILL KAZAA DIVX MOVIES, LESS THAN 700MB BURNED TO A CD-R, PLAY ON A BASIC ($100 average cost) STANDALONE DVD PLAYER? (I've noticed that on dvdrhelp that the players that support the divx mepg 4 cost around $200-$300. Can't afford those)

2. IF THEY WILL NOT PLAY ON A STANDALONE AS A CD-R, DOES THIS MEAN I NEED TO CHANGE THE DIVX FORMAT INTO SOMETHING ELSE? WHAT? OR JUST BURN TO A DVD? I've seen alot about S/VCD'S and know they hold around 800MB, but I don't know where to find blank s/vcd media. Not at my Wal-Mart.

My thinking is that for the divx movies less than 700mb, burn to a cd-r. For those divx movies above 700 burn them to a dvd. Am I really lost? Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not a complete idiot (I hope), but there is a huge amount of information out there to sort through making sure that your dvd burner, media type, and player are all compatible. It's about to drive me crazy.

Hey everyone~
I really appreciate your help so far. I'm taking the summary of your help to be:

1. Buy a dvd burner
2. Burn my Kazaa divx movies to a DVD

Sorry, I wasn't done yet.

So.....I burn my Kazaa divx movies to a DVD using the Nero Vision Express and this will enable me to watch them on a standalone dvd player!

Correct?????

What about all this s/vcd business?

THANKS SO MUCH SO FAR!

hi jakers,
if u wud like to watch those movies in divx format without the hassles of converting it into a svcd or vcd then get urself a KISS dvd player that supports the divx
v 4.xx/5.xx format. Goto Kiss Technologies.
then 1 more thing wud be that if u have downloaded these movies frm kazaa there are most probably in avi format which wud be using either the xvid or divx codec.These movies are encoded at a much lower bitrate than ur dvd format.Converting these avis wud mean that u will not get the best of quality. i wud suggest that u get urself the Kiss player or convert the movies into vcd or svcd format. and yes there is no different media for SVCDs ,u have to use ur CD-rs only, thing is u get only 35 to 45 mins of video in the svcd format due to higher bit rate.hope this helps u.
