Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Amedeo Ciravegna is flying high
Default Shrink to fit DVDs

Hello there,
I've been reading through and searching here to get advice on burning video files to dvd. I've taken lots of it, bought Toast6, which blank discs my Apple will burn to (DVD-R), which my DVD player will play (also DVD-R)....
but now I am again stuck....

Roxio tells me that the DVD-R is too small to fit!!!
Is there anything else I need to do get these onto DVDs..

The video files I have are mainly movies, ca. 700 MB large, .avi's mainly, and the DVD-R's are TDK 1-8x 4.7GB single-sided.

Please help!!! Its been days I've been trying....

All the best

Amedeo

Default Compressing file to fit on one 4.7GB DVD-R

Hi there,
I've had a good look through, and so far I have got Roxio Toast, ffmpegX, and 4.7GB DVD-R blank discs....
I'm trying to make DVDs (to play normally tv/dvd) from mainly .avi's, but also mpg's as well.
I cant seem to find an answer to where I'm stuck....
Toast keeps telling me that there is not enough space on the DVD-R to fit the movie!!!
Around I read that what I am trying to do is possible, but I cant seem to progress...

Would appreciate any help out there.... From my searching I figure LOTR seems the person in the know....

Thanks

Amedeo

Did you try burning them as "data" discs instead of "movie" ? I've never heard of that problem before but i use nero and burn it as above. My DVDplayer is able to read divx but if yours isn't then you wont be able to view it on your DVD player.

Have a look at the image in the following link: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...467#post127467 DVD2oneX does a good job. But that's really for working with extracted dvd's. (If you're talking about standalone avi files then if you have the appropriate Quicktime codecs you could edit them with iMovie.)

Remember that using Toast 6 you can also edit out the intro & credits at the end if necessary. Select the track & press edit button. Select video & move 1st or last markers in to choose beginning & ending parts.

It's not wise to recompress movies that have already been compressed b/c each time it loses more quality.

Of course to burn dvd's to play on a set-top player you don't choose data format. Dvd movies need to be in UDF format. For copying dvd's choose udf but for creating movie dvd use video format.

Thanks LOTR,
I was hoping you would be there, as from my reading, you look to be the knowledgeable one....

I am a little confused...
So I drag the .avi into the toast video tab, click the DVD-Video button in the disc options drawer, Standard video quality, put the disk in, click burn, and this is the reply:
"Not enough free space on this disc, 4.9 needed, 4.4 available"
I've cropped out the titles and credits, and still too big!!
The .avi is 701.2MB...

Do you know a way to make the fit to 1 DVD-R, not only for this file, but for the future also??

Thanks for your help

Amedeo

Give us some more details about how you're setting it up with Toast. Open the advanced drawer to the left of Toast (the blue & white button to the top left) & tell us what you have it set to including which options? There's 2 quality options, one standard & one high. And which ones you have ticked.

Are you sure it's a dvd-r & not a cd you're putting in. And you clicked dvd to the bottom far right on the Toast window .. sorry but I need to ask the basics. lol

I want to trial some things out so I won't have an answer for you today. It'll take a while.

I'm guessing the movie is over 2 hrs. Can you open it in Quicktime & open info about it (apple & i keys) & tell us the length of the video & the dimensions & the frame rate?

No probs...
Format:
Generic MPEG-4, 512x272, Millions
MPEG Layer-3 Audio, Stereo, 48000 hz
Movie FPS:
23.98
Data Size:
691.9 MB
Data Rate:
118.9 K bytes/sec
Duration:
01:41:19:28
Normal Size:
512x272 pixels
Current Size:

FYI I also read in a forum, that someone is able to put around a 2 hour movie onto a single 4.7 DVD-r using Toast6 and ffmpegX...
So I got that as well, but was lost in it....
Here is the link by the way:

Thanks for the help

Likewise I installed ffmpegx last year but had problems getting it working properly. It's supposed to be very good.

I used to working with full quality videos using dvd studio pro so I'm relatively new at the concept of burning highly compressed videos such as mpeg4, etc. that one gets from over the net. I've fitted up around 3 hrs max on a dvd so far using dvd sp. Not brave enough to fit more on.
