Can I Burn A Dvd With Out A Dvd Burner?

[Hunted]

Is there a program that will allow me to run DVD disks without even having a DVD drive on my PC?
Also, I am wondering if I can burn them too with a program.

not sure what you are asking i mean you can encode to dvd but then it will be a 4 to 5 meg dvd file, but you will need a dvd-rom to read a dvd boss

Mainly, what I am asking is if I can watch a DVD on my computer (not from online) and watch it on my PC with out even having a DVD rom drive. And what do you mean a DVD file?

dvd file=mpeg and you need a dvd player for it to read the dvd disk

[Hunted]

So, if I get a program that will play DVD movies, even without a DVD rom drive, I will be able to?

Also, what is a good program to make a MPEG from a DVD disk?

no you need a dvd rom(dvd drive) to read a dvd disk without it you can't play dvds, the dvd player will only play a dvd that your dvd drive reads

and dvd is in mpeg format

[muchspl2]

dude, how can you rip or even watch a dvd movie if you don't have a dvd drive?

Lol, well, I am not entirely (wrong spelling I think) new to it. I am just new to DVD rom/rebooting. I am allthough the most skilled at computers in my family :D

[muchspl2]

j/k but he should use common sense, can't play a dvd on a cd player.

[Hunted]

Alright (heh)
I was just wondering if there was a way around it.

Also, is there a program to totaly delete everything on a CD?
Some of the CD's I burned I cannot delete, I need to delete because my mom hid the CD RWs and she lost them so, if I want to burn, I have to delete. Some of the programs I have will not delete it at all.

[muchspl2]

dare I ask..
are they cdr's or cd-rw's that your having trouble deleting the contents of?

you can use nero or roxio just format them because after erase you are going to have to format them anyways what is your version of roxio??

[muchspl2]

I&#39;v only had to do it a few times as I don&#39;t buy cdrw&#39;s, but I used inacd (belive thats the name)- it comes with nero.

if its a cd/rw in your drive then just right click on the drive and "Erase CD/RW" :D

There is no choice to delete for some reason

i think what it actually say&#39;s is "erase the contents of this cd/rw" with a right click

edit - with xp :D

[MUSLEMAN]

open your drag to disk and from the options choose format

wait untill the dvd-r/rw and +r/rw burner drops in price then buy one, if i where you i would get the ram and hard drive first

now if you have roxio 6 one of the tolls you have is called a drag to disk open that and use that its easy as hell

[Virtualbody1234]

Lol. Maybe, just maybe he gets that a player is not a burner. :lol: :lol: :lol:

i can&#39;t remember not knowin bout dvd recorders, cuz i knew about them b4 they were 4 commercial sale.

i can remember when my mom bought a cd drive 4 our puter - it was a 1x (at the time wasn&#39;t called that, but that was the speed) and only cost her &#036;650 bucks. musta been on sale.

You know you dont HAVE to have a dvd-rw to burn dvd&#39;s unless you wanna burn them on a DVD disc...a simple dvd drive and a regular cd-rw will allow u to make copies of the dvd provided you use the correct program(s). I dont have a dvd-rw only a dvd/cd-rw combo and im able to make copies of dvd using acp then making kvcd&#39;s...there are many many progs out there that allow you to make avis of your dvd&#39;s without a burner so that you can copy them to cd-r discs...

[MUSLEMAN]

yes i have already told him that but the question on the table was about dvd-rom but a very good point tho http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/b/smiley2k.gif
