How do I archive video footage (.MPEG) files downloaded from the web and play them back on my DVD-Video player or computer DVD-ROM drive?
If you want to archive video footage from the web or make them playable on your DVD-Video player or computer DVD-ROM drive, some computer-based video editing and DVD authoring software packages will allow you to make Video CD (VCD) discs that are playable on most DVD-Video players and computer DVD-ROM drives. Make sure your DVD-Video player or computer DVD-ROM drive is compatible with the Video CD format. To make Video CD discs, you will need a computer with a CD-R burner/drive and some blank CD-R discs.If your DVD-Video player can play back Super Video CD (SVCD) discs, then this is a better choice since it offers better video and audio quality.
