I'm quite new to bunring Dvd's or doing anything with dvd's at all. I have a few DVD movies on me and i want to know if it is possible to burn these dvd's to cd-r and watch the cd-r's on my dvd player. I have a quite old Dvd player. I have used the program MaximumDVDPro to create two mpeg's of my DVD of Phone booth. The sizes of the files are 689 mb and 117 mb files. I have a lite-on burner and i used Nerov6.0.0.9 to burn the files in "VideoCD" mode. I left all the options untouched. I burned both of the mpegs on an imitation 700mb/80min CD-R at 40x, with burn-proof on. It didn't work on my dvd player =(. The cd's i have work on my computer, when viewing one of the cd-r's of phone booth i see 5 folders, CDI, MPEGAV, VCD, EXT, and SEGMENT. the file within the MEPGAV folder is AVESQ01 and is a DAT file, it contains an hour and 9 minutes of phonebooth. The Cd doesn't work in my DVD player as already stated... I'm supposing the file should be located in the VCD folder..but i don't know. I'm really to new to this.. i dont even know what VCD and SVCD stand for. It'd be really, really, really appreciated if someone could help me out with burning this, linking to software needed would be super... but whatever you can input would be SUPER. (You could even make this a noob sticky thread)..

thnx for any help

Before we go much further (& there are tutorials on the forum that explain how to do what U want)

VCD = Video CD
SVCD = Super Video CD

Does your standalone play them U say it is quite old & so it may very well not play (S)VCD on CDR/W

The tutorials are here

The AVESQ files are the movie files

See if you can find your DVD Player here - if it's one that doesn't play CD-R media, then you're out of luck.

If it will play an audio CD, try an audio CD copy on the same brand of CD-R, to confirm if it's the player or your VCD technique that's the problem.

What is VCD / SVCD ?

I could go over it, but why re-invent the wheel - that also tells you the directory structure - and the main file should be in MPEGAV
