Guest JohnUlmer Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Okay, let's say I download an .avi/DivX file online. Is it possible to burn it to a playable DVD without having to purchase a DVD Burner?Also, I downloaded a file in foreign language and also downloaded a .sub file for the film. How do I add the .sub file to the file itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 If you didn't have a DVD burner, then what would you use to write the data to the DVD? You need a DVD burner to burn DVDs, playable, data, whatever kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a DVD burner to burn DVDs, playable, data, whatever kind.I've burned GN'R concerts in MPEG format before to CDRs as data files and they've played on my DVD player just as regular DVDs do. I burned RIR 3 to a CDR and I can play it on my home DVD player and on the DVD player unit in my kitchen. I'm just wondering if .avi files would be the same, and how I can get the .sub files on them first?

It's just mainly I'm concerned about how to get the .sub files on there and if they'd still play after I add them, I guess.Ok, burning to a CD makes a VCD, not a DVD - two different things.As for .sub files, i'm assuming that some sort of subtitle file? If so, they're not supported by VCDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
