Hi all, Im hoping I can post this here....if not feel free to put it where it needs to go.

Anyhow I just finished watchin Yumeria and I wanted to give it to my friends brother as a birthday present but here is the thing, i want to put it on a dvd....now I do know how to do this but what I dont get is a lot of ppl who sell anime on ebay fit the episodes (20 or less) on 1 regular dvd...I can only fit 6 and it starts complaining. Im hoping I can learn of a way to fit more eps on 1 dvd with a special program.

Thanks for any input!! Rolling Eyes

Thanks for putting it where it belonged!! Very Happy

what they do is they put about 26 episodes on the dvd as files that take up much less space, what you are doing is making a watchable dvd that you can put in your dvd player and it will hopefully play the anime, so basically you just have to make a DATA DVD, not a watchable dvd, I hope that helps you out

thats dual layer, normal dvd can't hold more than 4.5 GB, if the files were really low quality and choped up, like the opening and ending were cut off for most of the episodes, then maybe you could fit 12 episodes on one dvd, but the higher the quality the less you can put on one dvd

...it all boils down to the size of per episode that you're about to write into the dvd. If not, it's probably dual-layer as idjota had put across, and a piece of dual-layer dvd (4.5gb - not all burners can handle dual-layers) can easily hold up to 20 episodes (170mb ea), unless of course, your files are outrageously huge. There are overburn capabilities for CD-R (up to 900mb), but I doubt the dvd has such a capability as yet.

For now, you'll just have to figure out if you're missing out on any details, such as filesize. Now we all know that .rmvb files are comparatively twice as small as .avi files, and the possibility of someone converting .rmvb files into .avi files using WinAVI Converter in order to write it as a videoCD in Nero is also probable. Obviously, the loss in image quality is definitely inevitable.
