Re: DVD BURNING SOFTWARE? Jerry, I’ve been where you are and gave up. I ended up buying a portable DVD player [Mustek MP100] that plays DivX discs (it also does mpeg 1 & 2 files and SVCD/VCD). The DVD player in my car stereo also plays DivX files as well [Model VRVD640g from Roadmaster/VR3]. I’m sure there is software out there, but frankly, I have better things to do with my computer than recode files to burn to DVD. |

Re: DVD BURNING SOFTWARE? Thanks for the “heads up”, Tony. I’m on the market as well for this type of software and don’t want to make the “expensive” mistakes I made getting into “home studio production”. I hope this thread doesn’t drop and others can offer other and even more solutions. |

Re: DVD BURNING SOFTWARE?
So far, all I’ve been able to come up with is software that will only let you copy movie files from your computer to disk, as data files, which will only play on another computer or Xbox 360.

Indeed… Convoluted is putting it mildly… And we have the DMCA to thank for that…

Re: DVD BURNING SOFTWARE?
My wife was delighted to watch some movies on her Nano, but it took longer than real time to de-encrypt then encode the dvd as a suitable file. It is frustrating. My guess is that Apple and others would rather sell you an additional download of the dvd.

Re: DVD BURNING SOFTWARE?
Well this sort of makes me angry, but at least I won’t have to PAY TO VIEW new releases anymore.

Re: DVD BURNING SOFTWARE?
Someone already mentioned doom9 as a source for DVD software but you might also check out [url=http://www.videohelp.com]http://www.videohelp.com. [/url] You can also download demos of Nero burning software from the Nero web site. They’re time limited but at least you could burn what you have to DVD.

Re: DVD BURNING SOFTWARE?
sorry i’m late on this one Jerry. since i am now doing video production, i use Ashampoo Burning 8, Nero software and DVD Architect. you probably have the stuff on your computer in .avi or .mov or .flv which is flash player. in order for you to play it on a standard dvd player it needs to be converted to mpeg.

Re: DVD BURNING SOFTWARE?
Mpeg is a generic term an MP3 is an audio Mpeg file, Mpeg4 is a video file. You can create Mpegs with various types of software - I think I used DVD43.
