I 've been downloading alot of Naruto episodes and wanted to burn it on DVD(not as data DVD) so I can watch it on DVD player. Can anyone please tell how to do that? I can only make it into VCD but that is too small(thats like 3 episode per disc)

This is going to sound stupid but, people do make this mistake. Do you have a dvd writer? Not a CD writer/ DVD-Rom combo on your compuer. A DVD-Writer is needed to burn to DVDs. If not, you can hook your computer to a Vhs and burn to a cassete

I do have a DVDwriter

Sorry I didn't help you out more before but I was kind of in a hurry.

It depends on what kind of program you have then. I can't help you to much since I don't know what program you have. You may have to get a new program or check the help screen on what you have.

If you have audio and video out jacks you can always connect it to the back of a VCR or DVD burner and burn it to that. VHS cassettes can hold at least 6 hours in SLP (super long play).

It's probably encoded in DivX or Xvid, so convert the file into standard DVD format (MPEG-2 I believe), then use whatever software that came with the burner to burn it on.

XD Thank God someone else responded to this thread. I know how to do stuff just not well.

I thought dvd format was Mpg-4....

Actually, I think though MPEG-4 has about the same quality as MPEG-2, it designed to be more compact, so it's mostly used for streaming videos and such.

ah, okay. .If it is compact, use Mpg-4 if you can. You will get more into 1 DVD.

Well, the problem is that since MPEG4 is a pretty new format, current DVDs don't actually support it. However, next-gen DVD's (ie, HD-DVD) might, if it doesn't get eclipsed by blue laser formats such as Blu-ray or the one NEC and Toshiba is introducing (which supposedly can hold up to 40 gb on each side!!!).

By the way, it might be best to search google or something to find out how to do rather common things like this in the future, and only post such questions as a last resort.

Actually there are several DVD Players out on the Market that play both standard and DivX video. Go here (http://www.divx.com/hardware/browse.php?c=1) and you can find a player that can play both DivX and Xivd. Not certain if this is what your looking for, but it did help me; because having an entire series on one DVD was better that a 4 Ep/disk; my room would be filled.

If your looking to use a standard DVD player, just do a basic search on Google; many sites cover this topic, however, they are confusing. Doom9 (doom9.org) seems to do the most complete job in explaining it though.

You have to convert your DivX/ Xvid file to MPEG2 format, I used TMPGenc for this, it does a well job but it's a 30 day evaluation version. After that use a program like Sonic MyDVD to burn your eps to the DVD.

you can use TMPGEnc with 30 days to use MPEG-2 (you can only use MPEG-1 after the 30 days, but they both work anyways).After a conversion, it usually won't look as good, but it's still watchable.
First of all download TMPGEnc here (http://download1.pegasys-inc.com/download_files/TMPGEnc-2.524.63.181-Free.zip)
Then make room in your hardrive. You should have a bit more than the size of what you want to convert.

On to TMPGEnc...
1. Hit ok (duh)

2. Hit cancel. The wizard should be used if you were making one big movie fit into one DVD/CD. You don't need it and it's easier to do it manually.

3. Hit either of the browse buttons to the right of video source or audio source.

4. Pick which anime you want then select open.

5. Hit setting then change the stream type to MPEG-2 (to raise the video quality) then hit OK

6. Go to File>Add current project to batch list>MPEG file (also you can just hit the start box under file now if you only want to convert 1 file)

7. Find where you want to put the converted file and hit save

8. A box with batch encode should pop up. If you want to keep adding episodes just close it and repeat steps 3-8 until you're satisfied. Once you finally have all the files you want, just hit run and it will go convert everything you added in the list.

9. Wait. Wait long, ludicrous amounts of time.

10. If your DVD player has a built in browser (i.e. can play MP3s) it can most likeley play a DVD with MPEGs packed in it. Just put all the files in as a data disc. Pop it in your DVD player and enjoy.
