| Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2011 20:22 Author:  Ive read you can download a bluray here and put it on a dvd....read it on google actually...so first question is: is that accurate?
second...whats the best way to do that?
and third...thats that mess up the quality(i imagine it would) and would the quality still be better than an ordinary dvd rip? | |

now for the overall quality for the burn, i feel there is a difference between DVD and bluray when converted (as above), and burned to DVD. i can see a difference. the downside to MKV files are they are huge, as they have more info in them, better video quality, multiple subs, multiple audio (2 ch, 5.1 ch, languages). | |

| Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2011 21:49 Author:  i didnt say that... lol. i DO see a difference between the 2 when both are burnt to DVD. i feel that BR is a better quality then DVD when burnt to DVD. dont forget, when you convert and burn, your not making menus, taking all the subs, taking all the audio.... so the video quality will be higher. when you burn a dvd to dvd, your just making a 2nd copy, you cant really make the video any better then it already is.
so, when burning BR on a DVD, your able to get more video info burnt to the DVD then you would if you burnt a DVD to DVD. | |

so in short...im gathering burning blu ray rip to dvd is better than dvd rip 2 dvd?....or am i still confused?
and br to dvd is better than dvd rip to dvd??....lol...i hope i got that one right | |

BR = bluray... easier to type BR
BR is always better, but if done incorrectly can be worse. but its hard to mess up using convertxtodvd. as for being confused, its all in the eye of the beholder. like i said, i see a difference, but some people i burned for said they see no difference. i used the same program, same media (sony DVDs), same settings. but they see no difference, when i do. | | 
| Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 03:36 Author:  k...so ill try it....got a question...im using the windows dvd maker...and its taking forever to burn...like .1% every 5 secs...shud i use something else to burn...or is it just that th dvd burner on my laptop is really slow.....not the most computer savy guy on the block...heres the link to the specs on my comp:
i got a lot of movies to burn...so im really hoping this isnt wat i have to look forward to every time....seriously...this is gonna suk if im stuk with this speed... | |

and once you find "your" settings, its just a few clicks and your off to the next movie. | | 
| Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 15:24 Author:  as it is, its taking 83 min to burn...is that average..or is that slow?
and about convertxtodvd:
1. is that what i use to burn a br to a dvd?
and is there a copy you reccomend? | | 
| Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 22:54 Author:  you can use convertxtodvd for anything.... thats what the X means. mp4, mkv, avi, mpeg... the list goes on and on!
as for a copy..... Here you go, chill has good releases. | |
