PC DVD DVD Burning How to burn 2 or more movies on a single DVD
|
Burning 2 or more movies on a single DVD can only be possible using a special tool like ConvertXtoDVD. This tool has the ability to automatically compress the files to fit on one single layer DVD. The DVD can then be played on your standard home DVD player or on your computer. This is a great way of saving DVD media or just creating a compilation of your favorite movies on a single disc but this task requires a longer time to complete. The bigger the number of movies you will burn the longer the time it will take to finish and the lesser the quality you will get. Ideal number of movies on a single disc (DVD5) could be up to 3 to still get a better video quality. This could take up to 2-3 hours of converting and burning depending on your system speed.
