Dvd Capacity

[Cotton]

How much data can a DVD hold??

I ask this because i want to know what size a DVD Image should be.

Because im sick of downloading these Dvd-rips of movies and they have really dark images.

I just want to download the DVD Image and run it with daemon tools

DVD holds 4.7Gb, but yours sounds more like a codec problem. Have you tried converting to KVCD - see HERE

This way you can burn to CDR and watch through DVD player - provided your DVD player is compatible

I just use nero to burn vcd's...is that one faster?

[Cyril]

The link I put ion tells you how to format the file, then you use Nero to burn.

Thanks guys.

So a .AVi file which is a DVD rip and only 600 meg should look as good as the dvd??

[Cotton]

How long does it take to convert a 600meg avi file to KVCD???

[Cyril]

A couple of hours on my machine. Runs by itself though - set it going and come back when its done. Quality is good if your avi is good quality.

Cool...

I thought i had a problem cause it was taking so long (40 minutes).

Thanks for you help.
