Download a DVD
I have a DVD that I recorded from my old PC. I can play on Windows Media, but for some reason that I can't download it to this laptop. Do you know anyway I can download it so I don't have to physically play the DVD every time I want to watch it? Thank you
Two methods you could try...
(1) download and install the freeware VLC
Media Player.
(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)
VLC Media Player
http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc/
(works on XP/Vista/7)
Create a new folder on your hard drive and
name the same as the DVD.
Insert the DVD into your DVD drive and close
all the windows that can launch. Reach... Start /.
Computer... and right, click the drive letter
the DVD drive is on and choose open or
Explore. This will display the directory of the
DVD.
Then copy the VIDEO_TS folder of the
DVD to the folder that you created.
(right click / copy... right click / Paste)
To read the DVD... right click on the folder and
in the menu,... Choose... Play with VLC
Media Player.
(2) using the free software Format Factory... you
can download and convert the video DVD
a format like WMV, so you can play with
most any multimedia player... and correct it in film
Maker.
* Be aware that the breaking of the protection against copying
on commercial DVDs is illegal *.
(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)
Format Factory (freeware)
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
(the 'direct link' is faster download)
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup280.zip<>
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
('all' boxes on the final screens)
(Windows XP / Vista / 7)
First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
Drag FFSetup280.exe out of the folder
and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.
Next, after the download and installation of Format
Factory... you can open the program and
left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
"Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
(this is where you find your files after they)
are converted)
Insert your DVD into your DVD drive.
In the left column of Format Factory... go to...
"ROMA Device\DVD\CD\ISO" / DVD to the video file...
Open the DVD menu and select the drive
the DVD is in. The files of the DVD should appear
in the setting of the output window. Select (check) the
main feature for the conversion (the one with the longest
duration will be the actual film)
Choose the WMV format and the left click the
Convert button. Back on the main screen, left click
the Start button.
Now, all you have to do is wait. It is best if you do not have
multitasking while video is rendered.
That's all... Format Factory has many settings
You can set but this should be enough to help you
has started.

Please explain exactly what you mean. You want to copy your commercial DVD on your hard drive (movies)?
If so, the answer is Yes, if you have a big enough hard. Each disk DVD movie will take about 9 GB of hard disk space.

Where can I download Cd - DVD Toshiba burnind utility
Hello.
Where can I download for the cd - dvd toshiba burnind utility?
I m not quite sure what Toshiba utility you hear, but generally all the drivers, tools and utilities can be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
But if this software belongs to the additional software that was preinstalled on your laptop, then you will not be able to download because it s only part of the image of Toshiba, and could be installed using only the Toshiba Recovery CD / DVD.

I have Windows XP on my computer. I have a video recorder of the Samsung SMX-F40RN model. The VCR comes with its own program download (intelli-studio software). So I downloaded the video and then tried to watch it. Adobe would not have left me-says he not a file supported, or it has been damaged. So I tried the windows media player, which plays, but it doesn't have the highest quality. My main goal is to get the video on a DVD so that I can stored on two different backgrounds. When I select the copy of a windows CD educated upward and says he has encountered a problem. I'm stuck on where to go now with the problem. I'm totally amature to this and this is my first time trying the download. Any information will help you. Thank you
Ok.
Samusungs site is _, not much help, but here is what it says on your video
- H.264 recording formatH.264 recording format
Compression standard used by a camcorder to encode the video. H.264 HD is used by Blu - Ray and YouTube.
- Website TV Superfine, fine, normal TV, TV Web Fine, normal recording quality
- Recording resolution 720 x 480Recording resolution 720 x 480
Number of pixels horizontally and vertically in which is used to capture video. More pixels, the image is the sharpest.
- 1600 x 1200 Pixels
- 44.1 kHz sampling frequency
It uses a highly compressed but good quality of video H.264 video format, what version of movie maker start do not support.
He then gives 5 recording qualities
video resolution 720 x 480 is def standard ntsc format picture.
why he says then 1600 x 1200 is an assumption, I think he's now talking about stills and 44.1 kHz speaks now of the audio.
Depends on what you are viewing to in wmp, if you have a decent monitor say at a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixel, then 720 x 480 will look worse in full-screen size, it should look better if you look at it in a small window.
As I can't know, but expect that it pulls like an interlaced image, your monitor is not interlaced so it will look worse because of that.
To use movie maker to edit, you must convert your file into a wmv file, use something like SUPER

Then you need a dvd authoring app to make your dvd, you might have one, check on your pc.
The same goes for adobe, I don't know why it doesn't work, what version number you have, what items or the entire program? Often, this would have a dvd authoring application included.

Reinstall and download the dvd to install Windows Vista 32.
Hello
I would ask you,
How can I rewrite my original Windows Vista 32 on dvd? (download, so I can fix my laptop which had original Win vista).
Thank you.
Hello
Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista.
The choice that suits you.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html
