Hey guys, How do you burn DVDs so that itll play on your headunit/tv? I have an Eclipse 8022 but I tried the regular ISO/Data DVD burn and it doesnt work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

 

Can that Eclipse model play write and rewritable DVD discs? Are you sure you used the correct format? (DVD-R, DVD+R, etc)?

15 posts, finally!

 

Are you copying your own movies...or trying to burn downloaded movies....

 

music videos, sitting in traffic (405 and the 101) sucks ALOT

 

if you are ripping a dvd, then burned it to blank dvd( go to your headunit manfuactior eclipse) and see what format the head unit is can play.

 

not ripping a dvd, trying to make basically a vcd so the music videos I can watch on my screen

 

well, a vcd isn't the same as a dvd, but u probably knew that. basically you need to convert your files to DVD-compatible mpeg, then create a proper DVD file structure on your PC (you know, with a VIDEO_TS folder and all that) and then burn that to a DVD. check out http://videohelp.com for some really good tutorials. If you're looking for a single piece of software that can really easily create DVDs for you (including making custom menus and chapters), try NeroVision Express. http://ww2.nero.com/enu/NeroVision_Express_3.html

 

Just like he said. Personally I use nero and It makes life SO easy...

 

so you get that program, and it converts everything for you?

 

Yea, Ive been trying to do this for the last and a half. I've used over 3 different programs and none of them have given me the results I'm looking for. I have about 20 music videos on my hard drive and every time I burn them to a DVD I cant use the next button to go directly to the next Video. Usually the next button is disabled or 1 program I used broke each video down into 3parts(aka chapters?)

I'm using my PS2 to run My DVDs and Its already a headache that I have to start from the beginning every time I turn the car on/off, but It wouldnt be so bad if I cold just skip to the video I left off on instead of holding fast forward forever.

I dont know much about making a main menu and editing the navigation with any programs. So I think it would be great if anyone knew off a dvd converting/burning program that sets the dvd up the way i need by default.
thanks to all that can help

 

sometimes the dvd unit is dvd brand name specific ie Ridata/Ritek Prodisc, TY, Princo...

 

Yup... NeroVision Express... converts all your files and makes fancy menus.

 

i've been trying to burn MP3s on to a DVD-R and having it play on my pioneer DVH-P5000MP. It won't read DVD-Rs for some damn reason. That was the only reason i bought a DVD burner.

 

can anyone recommend a good program to convert avi files into dvd format?

 

Nero can get this done. CPU intensive though.

 

let me know if you need some help with that.
