-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2: Software thats needed.

 

Now there are many type of software out there but i will be doing this text using just two types of software.

converting software is called.

AVI to VCD SVCD DVD Converter the website for this converter is.

http://www.zealotsoft.net/

the download for it is

http://www.zealotsoft.net/download/aviconverter.exe

now i will state this right now this software is not free and i didnt make it so if you cant buy it you might can find a crack for it i do not deal with crack programs and i will not post a site to the crack for this program sorry.

 

Now burning software there are two great burning software programs that burns vcd formated movies one is

Nero Burning Rom

website is

http://www.ahead.de/us/index.html

the download is

ftp://ftp.nero.com/software/NeroBurningROM/nero63125.exe

This is also a trial version its not free neither and like before i wont post a crack or serial in this text

 

another good burning software that burns vcd disk is nti cd maker

website is

http://www.ntius.com/default.asp

download is

http://www.ntius.com/default.asp?p=download/download_prod&prod=cddvdm6&ver=

this is also a free trail.

 

Now you will need the converter and the burning software in order to do this if you find a better converter or burning software then use it but this text only will talk about using the converter and nero and nti software.

 

Now after i get this text done at the end i will paste some websites to some free converters but i will tell you now the best and fastest converter is the one that i will be talking about.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3: The Diff between avi and mpeg.

 

The diff between a avi file and a mpeg file type.

this gets alot confused really many users wonder why is it that you must convert before burning.

when a movie is recorded the file type its recorded in is avi then you have to compress that avi to a movie clip instead of a video clip.

The reason is a video clip is for computers and shit a movie clip is for movies dvd players and things like that you have many types of mpeg formates 1 -4 .

the biggst diff is avi files are for real time mpeg files is the compressed avi file for players.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4: The Diff between vcd and dvd.

 

Here is another question.

vcd is mpeg file type video cd

and dvd is a dvd file type monifed burnt on dvd r disk

video cds are burnt on cd r disk.

they are really diff dvd disk holds up to 1gb memory when cd r disk holds up 700mbs.

Now i will state this right now knowing this if you have a movie thats 600 or more mbs your need to cut that movie into two parts before you can burn it on cd r disk and both parts will use a diff disk.

basicly any avi file you burn on cd rs using vcd format you will need to burn them on diff disk.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5: The diff between divx dvd riped movies and none dvd riped movies.

 

Now this is easy the diff between dvd riped and not dvd riped are the file size is bigger dvd riped movies are all in the same file its not cut into two parts its one big ass file most of the dvd riped movies are 500 to 700mbs the none dvd riped movies like ones in theaters are in two parts and they wont get over 250mbs.

the big diff is that a dvd riped movie is the entire whole movie in one file not cut already and its formated.

none dvd riped movies are cut in two parts and isnt formated means some times the sounds off or the picture might look nasty and all messed up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6: Diff types of converting.

 

Now you have diff types of converting you have vcd svcd dvd now you dont wanna use svcd or dvd when using cd r disk and when you are using nero or nti cd maker to burn with.

also you have two types of converting that gos with all 3 of those we will get into that in a few.

the first thing is to determain what type of cd are you making vcd =video cd svcd = super video cd dvd now after you determain that you need to determain what type of convereting you will use.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7: Things to know about your dvd player.

 

Here is where your dvd player comes in play first you really wanna make sure the dvd player can play burnt cds or burn dvd disk.

How you tell that is by looking at either the box it came in or at the dvd book that came with it or on the back or bottom of the dvd player the import things you wanna read is that it can play mp3 that it can play vcds and also you wanna find out if its a ntsc or pac now if you do not see that it says vcd any where on the dvd player or the dvd players old you can try to burn part of a movie and test it out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8: The diff from ntsc and pac format.

 

This is import really import.

ntsc and pac the diff between the two is the location of the dvd player if its a pac dvd player that means it was either made or bout in a foreigh state.

if its a ntsc then that means it was either made or bout in usa or any country that we are allied with.

china and greece and spain those countrys will be pac format.

Its really import that you find out what it is if you burn the cd using ntsc and the dvd is a pac then the dvd player will not run the cd.

This should be on the back or bottom of the dvd player if not you can call the store where you got it at and ask them they should be able to tell you what type of dvd player it is.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9: Things to know before converting.

 

Now There are a few things i wanna suggest to you before you convert any movie.

when converting a movie its best to not be doing any thing on the pc as its converting the reason for that is you want a clear picture and you want the sound to stay right on the money you dont want it to skip nor get the sound off any thing like that so if your using the pc it will cause the movie to go slower making it skip and could throw the sound off meaning making the person say something and then later after that you hear it or you hear it first then see the dudes mouth move.

 

Now also one more thing when converting you can change the size of the image on the converter if you want the image to be seen on the full tv screen you might wanna do that .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10: Using nero burning rom to burn a vcd.

 

Using nero to burn a vcd its easy actly what you do is selete video there selete vcd add the mpeg file you made and thats it nero some times has problems with some movies in vcd format thats why i suggest if you do get a problem with that use nti cd maker to burn that movie.

Now with all that said lets test it out shall we.

First open the converter.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11: Setting up the converter.

 

Now when you open the converter it looks confusing but its really not.

the top is nothing lets not worrie about that.

On your left see Output Type.

you wanna selete AVI to VCD

Output size it will show the size that the movie is already on the pc now if you want to you can edit the size thats totaly up to you.

Now on the right you will see Output Format now here you wanna selete the format of your dvd player ntsc or pac depending on what format it is.

Now on down you see Open AVI File a text box and ... button play button and stop button.

Here you wanna click the ... button thats for browse.

Now you wanna browse and find the avi file of your movie you are converting.

Also after you selete that file you will see the Output Filename as the same location and same name but with .mpeg do not change that .

Now on down you see 7 buttons.

Just click Start To Convert ! a box will open but that will say converting.

Now after this all you do is wait.

Now depending on your pc speed and also on if your doing any thing else on the pc or not it will either go fast or slow.

now 100 to 150mbs will convert in 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 mins.

Now 200 to 250mbs will convert in 2 hours to 2 hours and 30 mins.

Now this here is based on converting and not doing any thing else on the pc.

Now if you deside to let it convert and you are on messenger or chatting or browsing the net the time it will take to get done can go up to 5 hours or more.

Thats why i suggest you convert and thats it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12: Burning the finished converted movie using nero.

 

After its done converting open nero up if you get the nero that i my self use nero 6.6.0.1 with the nero startsmart then double click the startsmart icon.

when its loaded your see many options here icons at the top.

The first one is a star thats for favorites the second one is a piece of paper thats for data disk the therd is a music note thats for music cds the fourth is a image strip thats for videos  the fiveth is cds and cam corder thats for copy and backup the last is a icon with a + on it thats for extras.

So you need to selete the 4th image for video.

here you see two icons VCD and SVCD

The first one is Make Video CD thats what you wanna click on the first one.

IF your using the trial version your get a box that says

Nero Express with 3 boxes on it and 3 buttons if you dont have a serial click Demo.

 

Now your be in My Video CD add the video files you want to burn with a big box below that.

Now lets focus on the right hand side.

Here you wanna click add.

Now you got a box that says.

Selete Files and Folders

this is where you add ya mpeg file you converted.

Location click the drop down list selete the folder where the file is then click on it and click add

it gets added to the big box after its added click finish on there.

now here its just simple

click next

do your speed for the burning then click next and next again and its burning have a cd in the cd burner btw after that it will burn less then 15 mins your have the movie burnt to vcd all you do now is put it into your dvd player and enjoy.
