TSGL: DVD to CD

[Russell W. Coover]

In order to follow my recommendation, you need to set your computer to
display file extensions. If your computer does not display these extensions
(such as the .dll in the file cabinet.dll), go to "MY Computer", "Tools" and
then to "Folder Options". Open the "View" tab, go down to "Hidden Files and
Folders" and click on "Show hidden files and folders". Continue down and
uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types". And while you're at it,
uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". The operating system will
complain about you doing this, but do it anyway. 

Now that you are showing all files and their extensions, place the CD in
your computer CD-ROM. Don't let it run. If it starts, stop it. Right click
on the CD in "My Computer" and then left click on "Explore". You will then
be able to see the extension of the file you have placed on the CD. It may
be, for example, a MPEG as you have suggested, or it may be something else. 

Now check the manual you received with the DVD machine to see if it actually
plays that extension. If, God forbid, you don't have or can't find the
manual, you can probably get a copy over the internet by going the the DVD
manufacturers web site (such as http://toshiba.com ) and searching for it.

I am trying to find myself. If you see me before I do, please ask me to wait
until I return.

Subject: TSGL: DVD to CD

Question:  Does anybody in TSGL land have experience with DVD to CD ... 
meaning using a clean (decrypted) 4+ GB DVD movie and after encoding and 
compressing, burning it onto a 700 MB CD disk for playpack on a PC or on a 
DVD player?

I tried it for the first time using the Ashampoo Compress & Burn 2 program. 
The audio and video quality on the PC was quite good (good enough for me, at

least).  However, I was unable to get any output from my DVD/CD player.  It 
indicated there was no audio and no image.  I understand the created CD is 
in MPEG format which should play on my DVD player.

Perhaps someone with experience in this area could help me out.
