Please can some one help me with AVI to SES transcoding

smoketjoe · 27 Nov 2001, 01:02 AM

Can anyone help me with taking the AVI files on my hard drive and compressing them and changing the extension so that I can burn them to DVD recorder and play them on my dvd player.I am new at this and I tried to burn a movie that has two parts into one file and I have not enough room on the disc and it takes so long to transcode it to DVD format. There must be a program out here that can transcode it faster. Please someone help me...
And if you can help can you help in a way where any dumb ass can figure it out because I am the Dumb ass asking.....thank you

Joe

OK I'm Sorry...I panicked a little but here's what I did...I opened up MYDVD and placed an AVI. file onto the menu when I go to record it to DVD it starts to transcode it into DVD format (.ses)I have the movie Harry Potter broken up into 2 parts 1st part is 59 minutes long..2nd part is 1hr16min long. To transcode the 1st file into .ses it takes about 5 to 6 hours so of course being impatient as I am I cancelled it out.. What I wanted to really know is what other program can I use to change the format of the AVI extension to a DVD extension to record onto my HP-DVD-WRITER dvd100i and then play back onto any DVD player. Also I wanted to know how to combine the 2 files onto one and have both of them fit onto 1 4.7gb DVD+r or DVD+RW...thanks for any help you can give

converting a low resolution file like harry potter back to a superb dvd format is a waste of time and material!

burn it as vcd/svcd and thats about it.

ok like I said I am new at this and what I am reading on these posts I have no clue as to what all these terms mean...if you can e-mail me at vze2wwm3@verizon.net with details on how to that I would be forever gratefull to you thanks

infos on vcd/svcd can be found here:

if your hp version is the TS release, burn it as vcd with nero or VCDEasy

Ok I think I got it figured out...my only other question is how or what program do I use to compress the files...When I use VirtualDub I put all the information in and when I go to compress it an error comes up saying that I am using a Hack version and it will not let me go any further

Now they have hacked virtual dub? That's as bad as ripping a screener to a 20 dollar blank dvd. vd is free so it cant be hacked avery lee is my hero and I dont know why a person would rip a movie to a blank dvd like that except certainly it could hold a collection of divx.
