Burning multiple episodes onto a disk?

Londonrockz568 · 04-08-2009, 05:54 PM

So i have an anime i'd like to put on disc since its taking up alota space on my HD. My question is after i have converted each episode (25eps 25min each) from .avi to .mp4 with handbrake how do i put as many episodes (i think up to 8 with good quality) onto one DVD 240min disc.

I cant seem to figure out how to stop my mac from just putting 1 episode on one disc.

*hippo help lol

is this just for backup purposes, or do you want to view the DVD in a DVD player?

Well kinda both. I need to free up the harddrive space (the entire anime season is around 6-7gigs.) Also I'd like to view it on a dvd player.

To make a disc viewable in a DVD player, just use idvd like before. But if you want to back up the files quickly and without changing the format, create a burn folder on your desktop, drag the files into it, put in a blank disc, and click "burn".

... I dont think im coming off clearly (sorry)

I want to have the episodes onto one disc that will work in a DVD player.
EX- I have 6 25min tv episodes and i want to put them all on a disc to view on a dvd player. (think like how they put Prison Break on dvd for ppl to buy... each disc was a season with multiple episodes)

Im trying to figure out in either iDVD or other software how to burn more than just 1 episode per disc. Because iDVD will only burn 1 episode, then eject the disc and when i put the disc back in to burn episode 2 it says i must insert a blank disc.

Is there a way to setup multiple episodes to burn onto one dvd and be viewable on a DVD player.

Yes, there is a way to put multiple videos in one iDVD session. It's been a while since I've done it, though. I'll have to refresh my memory later and get back to you. Meanwhile, i wouldnt be surprised if the tutorials on apple.com show how to do this.

wow.... you learn something everday. (me being new to apple/macs) i had no idea they had tutorials on their site. I remember when i bought the mac the person at the G-Bar said something about making appointments to learn things.
