Perhaps there is no such person who would not like to watch any interesting film in his spare time.
Now that almost everyone has access to the resources of the global Internet network, everyone can download video products for free and arrange viewing on a computer screen. The question of legitimacy, however, will be ignored. And recording a movie to disk allows you to save a masterpiece in your home collection. In addition, despite the active popularization
of flash-based
storage media , the good old CDs are still in demand. For example, many portable DVD players that offer home appliance stores for a small fee are designed to work with compacts rather than flash drives. Thus, it is quite natural that laser carriers are still in demand.
Although the network has a lot of information on how to burn movies to disk, sometimes newcomers have a number of questions. In this article, we will consider these very “problematic” points.
Difficulty of choosing
To transfer digital data to a CD, you need a special program. This can be either a third-party application, for example, the well-known Nero package (or an analogue), or a software mechanism built into the operating system. The main difference is that a specialized program, as a rule, allows you to flexibly configure the recording process, but the built-in solution works almost automatically, which is not always the best choice. Among third-party applications, one can note such as Nero Burning Rom, Ashampoo Studio, CD-Writer, etc.
How to burn movies to disk with the built-in Windows tool
To burn, you must insert a blank CD into the drive. Open two windows of the “Computer” shortcut. Then drag and drop the desired files from the drive to the drive letter, for example D. A write dialog appears where you can specify the speed. The higher it is, the less time is required, however, for a high-quality recording process, it is recommended not to exceed the value of 8 (for DVD). Also note that some household players do not display files with Russian names, so Latin should be used.
How to burn movies to disc using Nero
After installing the package, the “Nero” item appears in the Start menu. From here you can run the application. In the "New Project" window, you need to select the type of disk - it can be a CD (700 MB) and a DVD (4.7 GB). When copying, this item is also important. It’s easy to determine the type of disc — if its mirror surface is greenish, then it’s a CD, and purple is a DVD.
How to burn movies to disk? If the file size is less than 2 GB, then in the program you need to select DVD-ROM (ISO). If this size is exceeded - DVD-ROM (UDF / ISO). But if we are talking about a folder with DVD-video, then select the appropriate item. The main thing is that the disk can accommodate the entire volume.
Next, the familiar explorer window opens. On the right side, drag the desired file / folder to the left pane. There may be several files themselves. The line below shows the size - a very useful feature that allows you to visually estimate how many files still fit. It remains to press the “Record” button in the menu and select the speed (for a home collection, no more than 8 is recommended). By the way, in the case of several drives, there will be a list of available devices at the top - the one in which the disk is inserted should be indicated.
