Movie's to CD's

Im guessing this may get deleted very quickly so if anyone has any definate answers could you pm them to me please.

Basically, i was wondering how you could get a movie from your pc onto a CD that you would be able to play in a DVD player. I have never done it before, and i have no tools to do something like that. But theres a number of movies i would like to watch on my big tv rather than my computer screen, but ofcorse i dont have the money to buy on DVD. So with that also comes the question, is there anywhere i can download these movies in good enough quality that it wont look crap on a 42" screen, im guessing torrents is the obvious answer but i always get aweful speeds of like 5kbps from torrents.

Any help would be great, and like i said anyone with a definate answer please PM as im guessing this will end up getting deleted.

You need to have a dvd player that will play divx. There are programs out which can take a DVD and convert it a 700mb divx file which you can put on CD. My flatmate uses dvd fab.

The quality shouldnt be too bad. If you want better quality you'll have to burn it as a proper dvd.

I use a programme called ConvertXtoDVD, it works well. I just drag the movie across it converts it to a dvd format and then burns automatically works really well. Doesnt take too long aswell, and about the quality of the video. I jus get lucky on which one i pick from the list

Rapidshare + Forumw tbh. Then download DVD rips - which will most likely be .avi files, then you can use anything from Windows DVD Maker to Nero to burn it to a DVD.

Sorry, misread. Thought you said Movies to DVDs

PC + xbox or 360 and then stream to the TV :]

Tesco £12 DVD player plays divx so when I want to watch a film I just put it on a CD and job done

I bought a stack full of those, sold em for £20
kept 1 for myself

good little machines

Avi2dvd will play on a dvd player that doesnt have divx compatability... same with convertXtodvd.. both good progs, Avi2dvd is better tho, for the more advanced user.

Ye they are orserm I always found cheaper DVD players to be better!

I use to use DIKO for converting xvid to DVD seemed to be pretty gravy

aye, I remember some oldschool DVD player, think it might have been like Warfdale or summat, really good players, like £15 from Asda or summat stupid

dad flogged a ton of those

well i have a xbox 360, can i just a movie on CD and play it on the 360? Its not really my 360 so i havent tried to play movies on it.

expensive but looks quite cool.

probs better off burning it on dvds as you can fit multiple avis on one disk. i am planning to this for my movie collection. have over 100gb worth and its beginning to clog up my hd

but what is this tesco divx dvd player u speak off.. i am interested

nah, if you had a flash xbox (not 360)
then you could be able to

(with the use of XBMC)

you can set up a media server and stream your movies from your computer, through your xbox on your big tv
all you need is an ethernet cable or wireless bridge

explain o.0

u can just buy a cbale that goes from ur pc to tv and then itplays through the tv, forgot what its called but my dad uses on, didnt cost much but ill find out the name of it later, or just download nero and put it on a dvd with nero vision.

I only thought that worked with pictures and audio, didnt think it worked with video sicKle

Download a DVDR (around 4gb) and the quality will be fine on your TV.

i use Nero, dead simple

It does but it doesn't play xvid files etc, you got to convert them to wma or something.
