| 65059 | 2002-07-25 03:18:00 | Hello! Has anyone had anything to do with the Virtual Drive software? My problem: I have an avi file that I want to watch on my TV through my DVD player, which supports VCD, but of course it won't play anything I guess due to codecs etc. If I used Virtual Drive, could I then take the movie, convert it to a VCD and write to CD and play on the DVD to then of course watch on my TV? If it works I would be a happy man... Any help greatly apprecited. |

| 65060 | 2002-07-25 05:34:00 | sounds like you have your software mixed up a tad. i think you mean virtual dub. i can't remember if it converts to mpeg or not. have a look in tuesday or wednesdays news as there was a program that will convert avi to mpeg so you can burn it as a vcd and play it on your dvd player. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 65061 | 2002-07-25 07:49:00 | there are programs which do the entire process for u like nero burning rom, it will do all the work for u if u have an avi file, but if you don't there are many sites to download free programs that can do this for u. Try going here (http://www.cdmediaworld.com) to find heaps of programs, most free, there maybe the occaisional illegal pirate software on the net just avoid those (if u can) :D Oh and by the way like tweak'e said virtual cd can't do that, virtual dub can. cheers, v.K----------- :D |

I think you've been a little confused by the file extension used by Virtual Drive. It creates an image of your CD and saves it as a .VCD file, which stands for "Virtual Compact Disk" - totally different from the VCD that you can play on your DVD player. You'll need to find software that'll record VCDs to do that. Mike. |

| 65063 | 2002-07-26 09:34:00 | HI Mike Thanks for clearing that up (and others who replied). I did not think I was confused as I *was* talking about Virutal Drive and not Virtual Dub, but yes I thought by the readme supplied that it could create VCD files to play on my DVD....bummer. |
