Movie Burning

[Damnatory]

What speed are you burning at?

[accat13]

are you trying to burn this as an mpeg or vcd ...if you are trying to burn it as a vcd you can fit 800mb on a 700mb disc as a norm its weird but it has something to with the disc index a vcd creates it own it is smaller... wmp. will also play the vcd off the disc drive.. <_< and as Damnatory said keep the speed down i&#39;ve had disc crash at 4x and burn good at 2x

I&#39;ll try those now how do i encode my avi to vcd i let nero do it before

If ur mpegs only 750 mg ur not overburnin&#39;.When u do overburn and anythings incompatible it just wont burn ..full stop.

Like about adviced tri and burn at about 4x or tri a diff burner.

ok im burning now at 4x speed well im encodind now and will burn it in a couple of hours.the avi im burning now is only 699meg but the other file was 750meg

M8 the source(avi)size if irrelevant,the final mpeg will most prob b about a gig..
so u will most prob hav to splitt the file to go not 2cds..unless u hav some big cdrs :D

Just some tech info: you can burn 800MB VCD on a 700MB CD-R because you burn in Mode 2 which leaves out the ECC (Error Correction Code). This is ok because the VCD format has it&#39;s own correction code. You won&#39;t want to burn your data in Mode 2, because it&#39;s almost certain it&#39;ll be corrupt over time (no error correction).
