Software To Burn DVD's
 

Does anyone know of any good, free software to write movies onto blank DVD's?

I usually use Freemake Video Converter. My complaint is that it hard-codes the subtitles. I use Windows 10.

I've used Windows Movie Maker before. It doesn't come with Windows 10, but you can still download it and use it for free. You can also burn a DVD from Windows Media Player. Also, if you want something more robust for movie editing, you can download the entire suite of Adobe CS2, or just Adobe Premiere from here:

You just need to register and log in.

I too, would like to burn some DVDs. Tried it once on I think Movie Maker, put the disc into the DVD player and it didn't read. I was really disappointed.

To burn DVD's what?

I use Freemake, don't care about subtitles. I find it great. Just be careful when you're installing as there's a lot of ****ware you just don't want. Check no boxes and watch everything that goes by. It is however free and other than the ****ware I can recommend it.

Nice one, TH.

Can MKV burn **** to DVD-r?

I burn MKV's all the time to blank DVD's. Freemake Video Converter accepts all kinds of formats [MKV, AVI, WMV, MP4, etc.] and converts them to w/e is needed to put them on a disc before it burns them. It is great, but like I said, unless you pay for an upgrade pack, it will hardcode the subs. Other than that, I love it. For some reason, I had to find an older version b/c the latest release of it wouldn't work with my PC.

You can DL subtitles from here: Moviesubtitles.org - Download latest DivX/Xvid movies subtitles

Hardcore?

Hard code. It means that they are embedded on the screen. You can't turn them on/off at will. They're always there.

So you mean you can't get dual audio and subtitles with MKV. Which I suppose doesn't matter in general, but if you're doing anime then it's not ideal?

MKV is just a codec. We're talking about the software that burns movies [possibly encoded in that format] to a DVD. Freemake Video Converter gives you the option to add an audio track, but I'm not sure if it will override the original or give you access to both. I've never tried it. You can add subtitles, but if you want to be able to turn them on/off at will, you need to buy an upgrade pack.

I'm not trying to do any of that, but it's still nice to know in case I ever want to burn something for a friend.

Here are some screenshots from Freemake Video Converter:

Assuming you had any friends.

I have one more irl friend than you do, bitch.

With Freemake, don't try to exceed your disc's data capacity. A DVD+/-R/W will hold 4.7 GB of data. The software will let you put more than 4.7 GB worth of movies on it, but if you do so, it will fuck your movies up during the burning process. It might give you just the audio and no video, or it might cut the video in half to make it fit on the disc. JUST, DON'T DO IT. You will waste a disc.

:(

What do you have to do, just drag the video file onto the program and burn as you would with music?

Is there anything else needed to ensure the disc reads and plays, like other things burned onto the disc or whatever. I ****ed it up before and don't have lots of discs left.

For a movie, just select "Video", browse to where the file is on your PC, click ADD and it's done. Then select "DVD" (or it might be "Burn to DVD" - hold on: yeah it's "To DVD") and click it and off you go. It's really simple. Your disc should ideally be a new one, nothing else on it. I don't know how it works if you have other files on it, though I have burned up to three movies on one DVDR.

I will give it a go m8.

Thanks.

NP. If you have any questions just shout: I use this software all the time. Just remember that ****ware: it can be really bad so don't let anything on the computer you don't want.

Having trouble burning MKV videos to disc for some reason with Freemake Video Converter. I've done so successfully in the past. The films played just fine on my PC, but had no audio when I burned them to disc. Lame.

Why are you making videos of Mortal Kombat 5?

Do you mean they won't play on your TV/DVD player? Some brands don't recognise MKV. You tried converting to AVI, or even direct to DVD (use the "Burn to DVD" button)? Always works for me, regardless of format. Might be worth looking at.

I was using the "Burn To DVD" function. Didn't bother converting formats beforehand. They play in the DVD player, they just have no audio. Maybe I just had too many movies/too much data on the disc. The closer I get to adding 4.7 GB's of movies, the poorer the video quality and sometimes problems arise.

Why don't you try not being a leach and actually buying the movies.

Flame ware.

Because I'm not a fool.

*blank DVD distributors cackle quietly in the background*

Because obviously ZOG have the entire movie industry sewn up, and he doesn't want to further enrich them.

Yes, I know: die in a fire and eat ****, not necessarily in that order.

Keep that garbage away from a real Cryptopsy fan.

.

Quite possibly.
Or **** in a fire and eat a die. Just the one, not all the dice.
Possibly dice in a fire and eat ****.
Who knows?

Please listen to real Cryptopsy and not the corpse of a great band that that... that is. At least then you'll hate something worth listening to and not something a band ten years past their prime are surely embarrassed by.

A) You don't seriously believe I listened to that video and
B) you already inflicted None So Vile on me. I hated it. Absolutely nobody expressed surprise.

i'm not talking to you bitch eat a dick

Not hungry, and your mom isn't returning my calls anyway.
