Ive seen many monitors at shows or on the road playing music videos. Where can i find these videos? Anyone ever done this before?

 

You can find them on ebay by searching for rap video or rap dvd.

 

U can download each video u want from Limewire, and make ur own VCD.

 

download the videos from kobravideos.com through bittorrent or mirc, and then make your own.

 

I like using eMule too. It's slow at times, but finds alot of things.

 

I've been thinking of doing this as well. I have a DVD player that plays VCDs now. Has anybody just tried using a DVD recorder and just recording videos from a cable station like MTV, etc...? I was considering getting a DVD recorder but I don't know a whole lot about them.

 

Could you explain this a little more. What is a bittorrent? How hard is it to do this?

Emule? what is that? never heard of it. I usually use Kazaa.

 

go to kobravideos.com and read the mirc how to. can get a little confusing if you are just reading and not actually going through the motions but trust me it is well worth it. once on mirc you can join the kobra-chat channel (type "/join #kobra-chat") and ask for help. then just wait patiently and someone, hopefully, will be more than happy to answer SPECIFIC PROBLEMS (meaning don't say "how do i dl videos? ") and that's basically it. I knew nothing about this whole deal and learned in basically one night and within a week or two had over 100 brand new music vids ready to boom.

 

in my buddy's truck

 

Well ive done that and got videos out the wa zoo now. I was just wondering how you all burnt your DVDs.

 

Use something like Nero or Roxio software.

 

Shareaza or some other P2P software.

 

still trying to figure this one out?

 

i think i have got it figured out. I still havent gotten my DVD player but i purchased a burner and found a spot to download them. I also have the full copy of Nero and a Program called Platinum. Hopefully this works but im not sure.

 

I take it you have the new version of nero, cuz in that there is a program called nerovision and that lets you make your own dvds with menus and you can do the same with SVCDs and VCDs

 

you don't want to make DVD's. You are going to want to make them into VCD's so you will be able to scroll through videos like you would tracks on a regular CD.

 

I do have nerovision. Ill have to try and burn a VCD when i get home. Im on vacation right now and get home tonight. I have a MEVI to install also.. im gonn have a busy week

 

you'll probably find burning the vcd a lil bit easier than installing the MEVI but not much...ya something like that.

 

If any1 is interested in Reggae/Dancehall I have a few DVD's that can be copied.

 

I use WinAVI to convert the files. TMPG is nice too

 

many programs will work...NERO worked well for me without probs. Either way VCD is gonna be the route you want to go.

 

i forgot to give u all the videos i have for your buddies denali. when i get to the ville ill let u take any vcds u want off my laptop. i have like 150.

 

i sucked it up and dl'ed all the vids myself a while back so its all good

 

I use nero, and I get them from the net. I have all the latest videos playing in my car all the time.

 

yeah but its in a mustang.

 

i wasn't gonna say it but im glad u did...

 

which ones?

 

i do it myself too...and sell them to all my boyz for 5 buckz can't beat that for about 25 videos and the lates....i burn them through LimeWire!

 

You dont have to make a VCD to be able to scroll, Using a VCD wont get as many videos on the CD vs DVD.
Her's what I did I used NEROVISION and just added a chapter to the very end on video. that way when you press the next button it will slide rite to the next video in less then 2secs.
BTW- I use a ps2 to play my DVDS so I had to figure that way out because it doesnt play VCDS

 

Go here and search for the videos you want

http://search.singingfish.com/sfw/home.jsp

Download them and burn them to a blank CD.

 

sweet. Im just using FlashFTP thats connected to the Kentiex site. It has a good selection of videos. I got nerovision so i think im set for burning. Next... what do you all use to play the dvds? haha i need a new headunit with dvd/vcd/mp3 compatiable.

 

I just used nerovision to burn a SuperVCD last night and it worked great. Only thing I didn't like is that the only way it seems to be able to pick each video from the menu is if you do it text only w/out the thumbnails (if you've ever used nerovision you know what I'm talking about). With the thumbnails, I had to actually select the number of the video on my dvd remote to get the videos playing, then I was able to use the next or forward button.

Anyone know what the difference is between a supervcd and a regular vcd? I picked super cuz it just sounds hotter

 

I tried doing the Super one time and it just didn't come out the way I wanted it to so I like to stick w/ the regular VCD's. I don't make menu's, it just caused problems for me so I just leave the menus off and make it like a normal CD but w/ videos.

 

Can you fit more videos by using VCD as opposed to Super VCD?

 

same question lol talk about digging up history!

 

We must all be taking the same history class because I was wondering the same exact thing... I have a version of Nero that came with my DVD burner, so I'm not able to make SVCDs but I can make VCDs on CDs, but I'd much rather use DVDs since I know they'll hold the majority of the videos I want to carry with me. Now that I have my DVD/Monitor installed, I'm trying to avoid a CD/DVD overload in my car.

Is the full version of Nero worth getting or is there something else available that is better? When making VCDs, I like the way you can change the text and the background on the menu screen, as well as being able to change the images in the thumbnails by scrolling through the video (that's a REAL nice feature! Makes it look much more professional when people see it). I've been using Nero for a long time, so I'm used to the way they do things. Thanks, guys!

 

well i had 2 steal my sister computer bc mines taking soooo long to burn a SVCD. its taking 2 hrs just to transcode the videos? whats up with that? how do you all burn then? As a plan DVD, or as a vcd? i want something that can hold a decient amount of videos but not take half the night to burn. any ideas?

 

help some1

 

@sean05...

I'm trying to figure out how to put videos on a DVD instead of on a CD at this point, but I can say that it only took my computer about 8 minutes to encode a 55-minute video plus five music videos before it started burning them to CD. I just read an article discussing the history behind VCDs and SVCD format - I didn't know it was a Chinese technology that's extremely popular there, and that SVCD format is between VCD 2.0 format and DVD formats.... very interesting...

I guess it depends on what kind of processor & memory you're working with. My computer's only a 1.66GHz AMD Athlon w/1GB of memory (closing in on 3 years old). You might have to remove some files (backing them up first, of course!!!) from your hard drive and then de-frag the hard drive and see if that helps some - it couldn't hurt...

Good luck, bro!

 

well it took me 2 hours to transcode and burn a SVCD. thats INSANE! i got a 1gig processor, 512 memory and a 80gb hard drive. i gotta read more into this.
