yes - it depends on your software - roxio products can do it, as can nero.

You can't directly. Basically you can take the video off the DVD and re-encode it to a VCD (Video CD). VCD do not hold much info and normally are of very poor quality. This is mainly because people lower the bit rate in order to fit the move onto the smaller medium. For a normal length move you will probably need to put it onto 2 disks to make it look decent. Plus you should check and see if your DVD player will play it. If you are looking just to watch on your PC another file format could be used such as .avi. Either way VCDhelp.com is a good site for tools and tutorials for the conversion for either way.

You can try running your DVD player's or computer's video out socket through a Video in socket on your VCR, then playing your DVD and recording it with your VCR. I haven't tried this before but it sounds logical.

no, its not possible. VCD is an older version, you cannot play a newer version to the older, but, you can play a VCD to a DVD drive.

Most computers with a CD burner or a DVD burner come with a bundled software. The common ones that I know of are Roxio and Nero. Launch these applications and choose to burn/create a video file. These would open up a screen that would allow you to choose that .avi file that you have and it would automatically convert it into that desired format for playing into you vcd/dvd player

dvd discs read and write in a different format then cd's do. the actual format of a dvd style movie is very large, due to the fact that it is almost completely raw video without compression. \n\nthe software which you speak of is called dvd to vcd(the concept, not the actual name)\n\nit takes the dvd style video and audio and compresses it down fron 4.3 GB to about 650 MB, and puts it into a similar format that dvd players can read. \n\nbasically, it's not possible to burn to a dvd disk with a cd burner, but you can use the cd burner to replicate dvds onto cd-r's that will function properly in your dvd player.

If you only have a CD burner then you have two choices of disc format: VCD and SVCD.  I'd suggest SVCD if your disk burning software (Nero, Roxio, Sonic, Ulead, etc.) supports it.\n\nThe format that WMM burns to CD is HighMAT Video CD which isn't supported except by a few old models of Panasonic DVD players.  Or if you just burn the movie to a CD, you again aren't creating a video CD, just a data CD.  The file will be playable on a computer, but unless it is saved in *video* CD format (VCD/SVCD) it won't work.\n\nThe best option though, if you have a DVD burner is to burn a video DVD... again, the solution is your separate disk burning software since WMM can't do this directly.

First of all you need a DVD writer and then some software that can convert your files to DVD format. All should get the software along with your DVD writer.

Use MS Media Player, suppose a.dat is a VCD file. Right?

First of all your CD/DVD drive must support writing on the media and second you need a software like NERO to do that. If you have Windows XP with latest fixpack, even this will do the job for you!

It has to do with the DVD player.\nNot all DVD players support the same formats.\nSome players will not play VCD movies like the one you created.\nSome don't support disc with the RW format (rewrite format) like the disc that you used.\nThe video might also be in a format that the player can not decode.\nA lot of the new DVD player support DIVX and MPEG video formats only. \nCheck your DVD player's manual for supported disc's and video formats. Also try it on a different player. I have burnt things before that would not work on my player but would work perfectly on another.

you don't.. your DVD writing software takes care of that, and in most cases will insist that it is blank\nDVD/RW's will be erased prior to writing by the DVD burning software

DVD+R's are NOT re-writeable. only DVD RW's are ReWriteable.\nthe most compatable with standalone players are DVD-R however you can only burn a DVD type that your burner supports so i'd check your DVD burner first.

Your DVD burner should have come with a burner software (such as Nero, PowerDVD or Roxio).  Normally there will a DVD creator included in the software.  Copy the files from the VCD to your computer, then add them a DVD project.  The software will do the rest, converting them and burning them to the DVD for you.

The easy way: use a package like Nero Vision that takes any format and does all the work.\nThe hard way: transcode it if it's not in mpeg-2 format to mpeg-2, then use a DVD authoring suite to create the DVD. \n\nThere are other programs besides Nero Vision that do all of the work, but it's the first one I could think of.
