Is it possible...

I just got a dvd player (for my telly) that says CD-R and CD-RW, does that mean i can rip a dvd, burn it, and watch it?

Posted by fuct4less on Jun-23-2003 04:27:

dude, i think that it means you can only burn cd's, because to burn dvd's you need a dvd-r/dvd-rw... at least i think you need dvd-r.

i mean burn it to a cd on my computer and then play it on my dvd player?

yes you can... rip a dvd and then burn it on a cd-r and watch it

dvd-r's burn a dvd directly so you dont have to rip it

no, you cant. DVDs are protected. You need a program such as DVDXCOPY or something to do it. You can only burn DVD encoded ISOs or BINs that have had the protection ripped.

I believe the CD-RW part is sort of like a TiVo type deal going on. You can record television programs and such. However, I don't believe it is capable of burning DVD.

heheh mixed reactions.. hmmm

lets put it this way. I have 400 gigs of HD space, all full, I go through several hundred CDs and about 100 DVDs a month. This is what I do, You HAVE to have a program to rip DVDs. You can burn all the ripped DVDs in the world. You cannot directly make an image, or do a direct DVD burn without ripping the protection! If you could dont you think most people would just buy DVD burners and rent every DVD at their local store?

LoL, why do you say that?

CD-RW= CD-ReWritable thats why normal CDs are called CD-Rs you can only put info on them once. I dont know where TiVo came in.

The main difference between CDs and DVDs is the encoding. They need seperate programs to read/encode. Thats why CD drives dont read DVDs. So, naturally, the CD portion of the DVD drive will not be able to read/encode DVDs. But thats why its also a DVD-r burner.

Yeah, I know what a CD-RW is...I'm not fucking retarded. I was saying it's a bit like TiVo because you can record stuff from the TV to CD-R/RW. Like the new Playstation 2 concept that will be releasing soon.

well dont get all pissy "CD-RW part is sort of like a TiVo type deal going on. You can record television programs and such". that statement is wrong. Its now been corrected.

Im guessing you are talking about an adapter (internal or external) that will allow televisions to plug into the drive and archive footage.

no you can't burn a dvd onto a cdr or cdrw and watch it. you would need to burn a dvd to another dvd with a dvd burner which then you would be able to watch it. if you want to burn a dvd to a cd you would need to compress the dvd to make it fit onto a cd. cd are max 870mb whereas dvd's are about 5 gigs of info. what would be burned onto a cd would make it a video cd(vcd).

i'm not sure what was meant by being like tivo. u can record tv shows on ur pc and burn them to make a vcd to watch on ur dvd player but in no way would that be like tivo as tivo records to it's own hd's

hope this makes sense

if you want to put a dvd on cdr, yo have to rip it, and encode it so it i small enough to fit on a cdr, then make and svcd, and you can play it in your dvd player, why it says cdrw/cdr i dont know
