DVD burn

[BillyWitchDoctor.com]

yea, so ive got multiple gigs worth of movies on my comp and i wana know how to put them onto a blank dvd (im pretty sure i dont have any software to do it, idk though). ive got the dvd's and stuff so i just want to be able to burn the movies onto them to free up space on comp, any ideas?

First, you need to clear up something with me...

Do you actually have a DVD burner (not just a reader)?
Do you just wish to store the movies on the DVD so you can play them on your computer, or do you want them to be able to play in a DVD player (which would require more effort)?

nero burning rom has great features for dvd's if you havent got it you can get it from a torrent site!

ok to burn files to a dvd you need several things

1. files you wish to burn
2. a dvd to put the files on
3. a dvd burner so you can put them on a dvd
4. and software that will allow you to ready the files to the dvd burner


ok, so you have the files, you have the dvd, you dont have the software, and you dont have a burner?
is this correct?

I have tried many times to burn a DVD movie to a disk. I used a 700MB disk, a few movies fit but my DVD player couldnt read it. So im not quite sure, but nero is good yes.

Of course you can burn files to a CD, however, they wouldn't be in the same format as DVD, so DVD players woudn't recognize them - and your computer would just be reading the files so it could play them.

Anyway, I'll await Marc's answer.

By the way, Andy, happy birthday :D

Oh yea, happy birthday pinkcar! and Kiros, your good with names. Amazing how u remember everyones name.

[Kiros]

Yes, c0mpu73rfr34k, you'd be surprised with how many names I know. In fact, c0mpu73rfr34k, I know most active members' names. But, c0mpu73rfr34k, just a few days ago (I had remembered that I didn't remember Andy's name, which he reminded me on :)). Although, I still like knowing everyone's name whenever I can, c0mpu73rfr34k. :P

[Glasgow]

Lol. but do you know my real name?? *hint hint, go on MSN and check*

[Aηdy]

ok, i have a cd/dvd burner, ive got the dvd's and i just want to be able to play the dvd on my computer

[Aηdy]

you need software of some sort because windows doesnt support dvd burning like it does cd-rw burning, so try the internet for a trial or something :)

[Glasgow]

*cough* come on Xfire and i will send u nero.exe

[Aηdy]

is Xfire a sortof torrent site?

[Kiros]

XFire is a messenger, and you guys should be chatting through PM about that... not on publicly accessible forums -_-

Oh yeah... I kinda forgot that was you though, computerfreak :P

[Glasgow]

Lol, yes i know i should be PM'ing it, but meh who cares.. Hes on but hes AFK :( Anyways ya pinkcar xfire is an Instant Messenger for gamers, keeps track of what games you play and for how long, and u can chat ingame. Its pretty cool

Check this one out, it's free and it's GPL so you can be sure there won't be any spyware/adware. http://k3b.org

EDIT: I had a look at their site it doesn't support Windows (I assume that's what you're using). You'd need the qttoolkit as well as kdebase. It might work under cygwin though, so I'll leave the link up.

i got the dvd decyptor, which can burn any dvd i wish even when copy-righted.
("coughs", its a program i got from U.K. and it is one of the few programs that breaks any code the dvd has to keep it copyrighted.)
