will this work with movie files to? ie, mpeg? I ripped The Master Of Disguise on to my hd. I want to be able to watch it on my dvd player so it needs to stay in the mpeg format. It is 801mb. If I use overburn and it doesn't work, will it screw up my burner?
ps. I know it is the wrong forum
No, with movies it's not the file's size that matters, it's the length of the movie. If I recall, that movie was rather short so you might be able to fit the whole thing on one 80 minute CD.
an 80min cd can only hold 700mb and an overburn 730mb at most. ANd to say that its about minutes is just plain *cant say it*, sry dont mean to be meen but come on, u r just misinformed. A movie file has many aspects to it, the audio quality, video quality, image resolution. All those things add to the size of the mpeg or video file. Minutes of how long the video dont matter when ur burning, its the size of the file.[/b][/quote]
I think you misunderstood. He's not talking about simply burning the video to a CD-R as a file, he's trying to make a VCD. When you burn data the disk is limited to 700 MB. When you make a VCD, Nero converts it to a video stream that can be read by most DVD players. In that case file size is irrelevant. A VCD can hold about 80 minutes of video (82 if you overburn). You could take a 2 GB uncompressed avi and use Nero to burn it as VCD. As long as it's less than 80 minutes, Nero will convert it to standard mpg format and it will fit on one disc. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
