how i make video dvd

how do you take video files on your pc and get them to come in dvd quaility so you can playback on ps2 or pc

to have dvd quality, you first have to have a dvd quality video. without that you really can't do much.

I'm not sure if that's entirely true. You can have it converted, it just may look like crap.

In order to do this process, you need to get software designed specifically for it. You'll need software to take the video files, convert them to MPEG2 and the proper screen resolution, and create the Video_TS file. You may also, in certain applications, have the option to create your own menu. If not, you'll just pop the disc in, and it will play.

You may want to research individual programs to find one that suits your needs before getting one, so you can see what features it is you need.

Hope this helps, sc7.

Like I said previously, in order for you to have a dvd quality dvd played back on pc or whichever method you choose.. you will need to have dvd quality videos to start with. If you have grainy small 300x300 videos stretched out and converted to be dvd format, of course it's going to look crappy. You will need dvd quality videos to start with.

As for the tools, there are many out there that you can use. Windows Movie Maker, which I assume you use XP and have can make one for you.

should i just use windows movie maker is that free or does it cost?

and mpeg2 should i download those files and use them or just stick to converting them cuz my nero express an burn dvd's of the following file types

.bup .vob .ifo

i just found movie maker on my pc so imma check that out

bigl2007 · 07-28-2006, 11:12 AM

i have some avi files that i would like to convert into mpeg2 or whichever is dvd quality even if the resolution isnt all that cuz i can learn about how to use different resolutions after i burn me a successful video dvd

and i dont know how to use windows movie maker to convert them or to encould them or decode them whichever it is that i gotta do next

Movie Maker won't do that. VSO ConvertXtoDVD is my favorite program for doing this easily, the TMPG kit is another good choice. Not as easy to use, but quite powerful and well featured (there are free demos of both). Nero Vision will also convert these files, if you have it, but it's not the best program for doing so.

Avi2DVD is one popular free alternative, although I haven't tried it myself.

bigl2007 · 07-28-2006, 03:52 PM

yeah imma try that out

I was saying I didn't think what you said was entirely true.

Anyway, I don't think Windows Movie maker makes DVDs. I know there is Windows DVD maker in Windows Vista, but that requires a WDDM compatible card. VSO convertXto DVD is a very nice application, I would also throw my support behind it.
