MalcolmG Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Can anyone tell me what I need (hardwear/software) to enable me to produce a DVD from a PictureToExe file please? Currently I have a DVD player and a CD rewriter installed on my computer. I use Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 to burn CD's. If I were to upgrade that software to facilitate the creation of a DVD could that be achieved using my CD rewriter or would I still need to purchase a DVD writer?

Michel Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 If you want a DVD with PTE, you must purchase a good DVD vriter (Sony, Pioneer, Plextor) and Ulead DVD Movie Factory 2 (or other...but the ouput DVD is excellent with this software).If you want only a SVCD, you can use a software with ouput .mpg and a CD writer software.

Ronniebootwest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hi Michel,Yes you will need to buy a DVD burner to record a DV disc. Be careful though! Some DV burners will only play + DV discs and these are not really suitable. Others will only play -DV discs. It is the '+' and the '-' that will make the difference. If posible check before you buy the burner and make sure that it will use BOTH types of disc. I can recommend the PIONEER DVR-A06 This will work well and ptoduces excellent DVD's (with Ulead) but not with Easy CD Creator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmG Posted December 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Thank you Michel and RonnieI confess that I am getting a little confused. Firstly what is the difference between a DVD and a SVCD?. My Pioneer DVD player will play both. The PTE software only allows a slideshow to be saved as an executable file with a file extension [*.exe] How do I capture/convert it to a [.mpg] file in order to download it onto a CD?
