How> Burn to DVD, w/ separated subtile files.

[Ahura]

Trying to burn some soap drama episodes into DVD, since my HD is down to less than a gig of free space. I have Nero 7 Ultra wat/ever as main burner, but not sure how to approach this.

A friend showed me a program that let me burn w/ subtitle load separately, set the thumbnail image, order of the episodes, and some other neat tricks when burning to a dvd, but the thing mentions nothing of the subtitle file formats that it accept. That got me confused.

Can we back up a minute.
What program did your friend show you and what do you mean by subtitle formats ?

The forum, which contained the thread which has the link is down right now, so I won't be able to get it till later.

Basically I just need a program or wat/ever that let me burn dvd w/ separated subtitle files, since that how I got the files.

If I understand you correctly you've got files with the show in them ?
You've noticed that the subtitles are in separate from the files ?
Subtitles are always in separate files, when you back up a disk you have to chose to include them or not.

Ok huh....

The subtitle files are in .SRT formart and the vid files are in Avi, so.....How do I burn them into a DVD-R?

... since my HD is down to less than a gig of free space. ...Don't think you'll be able to as you don't have enough room. You'll need room for the temporary files burning software uses and the like. Drives are exceptional cheap right now to fit almost any budget. For example, Best Buy is having a sale for a 320GB SATA drive for only $60, and a 160GB PATA drive for only $50: It's time to upgrade.

SPace is not a problem since I can always delete and then re-download. I just purchased 100 DVD-R for burning and I would like to use them : D

[Ahura]

Well, any halp?

I don't know how to burn with less than 1GB drive space...

[Ahura]

OK, let say I have 2 gig; make it 3 if it helps.

[pam123]

You need at least 5 but preferably 9 GB of free space.

[Ahura]

Then 9 gig it is.....Now how do I burn it? do I need a 3rd party program or something?

Any burning program that can handle DVDs will do the job along with your DVD RW, you said you had Nero 7.
Just remember to set up folders ep.1, ep.2 and so on and make sure that you're not trying to burn more to the disk then the disk will hold.

So lets say, you have "MY Life" ep.1.
Get all the files for that and copy them to the folder.
Make a folder for ep.2 and do the same, and so one.
Burn those files to disk and then play them back.
If they're OK, you can delete the files on the hard drive and move on to another set.
Test each time you finish burning a disk and before you delete the hard drive files.

I see, will try that.
