Burn MPEG videos to DVD

Mar 14, 2010 9:06AM PDT

Hi everyone. I've recently been copying my DVD collection to my hard drive as a way to start moving towards using my game systems to watch them on my plasma. However, there have been some cases where I would like to put them back on DVD. I've been using WinX DVD Ripper to copy them in MPEG format so they're easily playable on the computer. But it seems like it's tough to burn that format to DVD, especially if the file size is too big. Is there any software out there that will burn this format to DVD to watch on DVD players, but also auto compresses the file to fit on a standard blank DVD-R? Thanks!

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I clicked the button to have this place e-mail me if someone responded and I never got an e-mail. But I just took a look at this program and it looks like it's exactly what I was looking for. You'd think that with a couple of hours of research I would've come across this, no? Anyway, haven't had a chance to try it (I'm at work) but once I do I'll report back. Thanks for the tip!

MPEG is the quite right format for burning DVD. If you have failed with several programs, i would like to suggest you take iSharesoft DVD Creator to have a try. it's a good program i've been using. the DVD quality is quite beautiful with high quality, it plays smoothly on DVD player, i've burnt hundreds of DVD movie with it.
