Burning .WMV clips onto CD-Rs...

Recommended Posts

Asked this in "Computers" too...someone help?

 

So I burned files onto a CD-R disc.

 

A 50-minute .WMV file of "The Monday Night War"...part 1 is this file.

 

It copied successfully. Can it be played in my DVD player? I loaded the disc, and the display said "VCD Disc" and then the screen went black.

 

I would think I'd have to download onto a blank DVD disc...and thus have a DVD burned (which I think the computer has), but I've been told burning onto the CD-R would work.

 

What are the steps I need to take?

I think the Apex brand DVD players play CD-Rs, but don't quote me on that since I don't have that kind of DVD player yet.

WMVs are one of those formats that are really really proprietary and aren't going to work on just about anything. VCDs need to be .mpg or .mpeg style files to work right.

 

This question is more apt for Computers - Internet - Technology, though.

Like JotW said Windows formats are tough to convert.

 

TMPGEnc might do the trick but since it's a WMV, the quality of it can't be that high so I don't see why you would waste you're time.

Check out that site on how to make VCD's and such.
