#How to convert video files on a dvd software#
A variety of software companies specialize in DVD authoring, but some are better than others at delivering a great looking end product. The best way to create a functional DVD from your multiple video files is to use a DVD authoring package. This is most similar to choosing to play one deleted scene from the special features rather than selecting the play all option. In your case, rather than chapters, each episode is a top level menu item selected before any video playback starts. Not an ideal experience if you watch episode 1 and want to watch episode 4 next, without needing to fast forward through episodes 2 and 3.įor improved navigation you probably want to select each episode or video clip individually, so plan for creating a menu similar to the menus on commercial DVDs which allow you to select specific chapter points on the DVD. Trying to use conversion software to setup multiple video files for the same DVD generally requires combining the individual video files into one big file that plays each video back-to-back-to-back. This won't create a menu for navigation, when the DVD is inserted in a player it will automatically start the movie. If you only need to put one video file on one DVD, you can simply use a media converter to make the proper modifications and then burn the resulting files to DVD. Most video conversion apps will convert a video file from one of these formats to a format ready for burning to DVD. In most cases, the video files won't be in the correct format, so they will need to be converted.ĭepending on where the files originated, they may be in AVI, MOV, MP4, WMV or some other common format. In order to create a DVD, the video files need to be in the appropriate format (MPEG-2) organized in the standard DVD directory structure. Potential legal issues attributed to downloading television shows aside, putting several video files on a DVD is a common need whether the files originated online or from a digital video camera. As it stands, the current line of thinking suggests that any downloading of shows recorded from over-the-air broadcasts via cable, satellite and true FM transmission represents a violation of the distribution agreements made by the rights holders and the licensed distributors. If part of public television member support included access to sanctioned downloads of shows, I think we might see the more savvy viewers opening their wallets to support their favorites. This reminds me of one way public television could win more supporters over commercial broadcasting. If I wanted to keep them for future viewing on a disk, what would be the best and easiest way to convert them and maybe put two or three on one disk?"
