[cardiodan]

Whatsup every1?
I have a cdrw drive, but not a dvd rw drive.

For example .mpgs

Is this possible?

if its short dvd files ie: VOB audio/video then YES you can.
Problem is its still not a DVD, nor will it play on dvd players.

But the DATA will play on a computer in certain software programs like PowerDVD or w/e.
MPG's yes too. Basically any form of data can be transfered (written) on to CDs just not read.
And you wouldn't be making it a dvd, you'd be making it a cd with dvd files that you'd only be able to use on computers with certain software.
I have no idea what software does and doesn't I just know some can't do it.

Google on how to change a DVD into a VCD. You lose some quality but not that much. VCDs will play in most DVD players.

Wait are you saying a DVD file converted to VCD will play in a dvd player when its still on a CD?

Yes. Even better is if you burn it as a Divx to a CDRW. It will play in DVD players as well.

Only way a DVD player will read a CDRW is if it was specifically made to and says so on the box. Most standard DVD players do NOT read CDRW's.

Most I've used do. The only problem I had was with a friends Sony DVD player. I have 3 different DVD players that did not specify what they read and they all read VCD's or Divx files. If you've bought a DVD player in the last 3-5 years, most likely it will read those file types even if it didn't say from my experience.

wow a bunch of freeware/software comes up.

Apparently there's no way to just click and drag option is there?

Nope. You have to compress the dvd file using whatever freeware you get. I haven't done it in years so I can't remember what program I was using.

VSO - ConvertToDvd is the easiest program out there. You drag and drop the video files (mostly any format) which it then converts and burns (as VOB) to DVD.

p.s
Like said above using a CDRW and/or CDR will NOT play in a standard DVD player. You need a DVD CD.

Download a file splitter and split your movies up and burn a vcd most films will take 2 cd discs.

Every dvd player ive bought in the last few years plays cd-rw's its usually the old and or cheap ones that dont.
