-- Burning DVD's with a CD-Burner
Burning DVD's with a CD-Burner
Ive been told this is possible, my mate apparntly does it, granted he is stupid so prob isnt anyway but he says its mega slow (obviously) and he either plays with his burner or plays with some software or something blah blah.
Is this possible?
cheers 
No way! 
He probably meant SVCD's or something...
if he's got a DVD burner, yes, if not, no 
I believe anyway, cos DVD's are made up of a different reflective thingy
You need a DVD burner in order to burn DVD's. Also there are a few different formats of DVD R's to look out for. The compatibility with players will differ depending on the type used.
But you can use a CD burner to create VCD's or SVCD's.
It has to be VCDs. I think it takes something like 30 CDRs to hold the ammount of information on a DVD.

I think Coup might have confused Burning with copying!
It should be possible to copy the content of a DVD onto CDR/RW's if u have both a DVD ROM and CD Rewriter.
I'd guess u'd have to download dodgy software that allows the content of the DVD to be read as a single file that u then break into components and then copy theem onto the CD?
yeah this guy must be doing VCD's and all that, thick c**t
well i thought it may be useful to buy a DVD-RW and backup my mp3's on that, buy one of them instead of 1000's of cd'r's, but then it i lose it or sister breaks it, doh!
thanks anyway
there's some software on the net you can buy that apparently burns dvds using your cd-r. i forget what it is and there's a whole shitload of stuff about compatability and whatnot but they say you can do it.
now i know the difference in cds and dvds, i don't believe them for a second but if it's out there, it's prolly good for something.

If it's possible i'll find out and let you guys know. Very interesting theory indeed. Hard to believe because DVD-roms and writers use a different laser beam that's much more precise and can basically burn smaller pits on the surface on the DVD-rom. Where'd you see this Lynx?
I think everyones getting confused with DivX. It's a little CODEC which compresses DVD movies into small enough sizes they can be burned onto CDR. But it takes a beefy machine to do it though as DVD's are about 9 GB uncompressed

that's what an extra comp is for. purely ripping dvds. heh heh.

| Originally posted by Tranzmit No burning them and/or watching them isn't the problem but whoever ripped them in the first place did. It takes about 6 hours on a P4 1700 as it fully CPU limited. Once it's ripped it's not a problem but the compression is that big that it's just a huge process |
