I am kinda new to DVD burning and had a question. I have a few divx backups of DVD's I owned that are all about 700mb. Can I put five of them on one DVD disc with a menu system so that I can play all of them in a dvd player? Or do I have to change them into another format that isn't as compressible?
I was hoping to make a dvd with all five of my movies with a menu system to choose which one i wanted to watch. Easier then carrying around all the dvd's with my laptop.
ps, is quicktime 6.0 going to support divx or just mpeg4 standard?

DVD are a different format. You can burn your DivX as files and view them with QuickTime, but not in a DVD player.

well, can't it be both? It's absolutely true that you can't burn your divx files directly to disc and have them read in a set-top player (yet). They will have to be re-encoded to MPEG2. And iDVD cuts you off at 90 minutes. But I believe DVDSP can let you get as much as 6 hours of mediocre-quality video on one dvd, doesn't it? So depending on how much cpu time you have available and how poor you're willing to accept your results, you could conceivably fit 3-4 movies on one disc, right? (disclaimer: I don't have DVDSP so I have no way to verify my wild accusations)

You need DVD Studio Pro to go beyond the 90min. iDVD limitation. Actually, it's not a limitation... iDVD is set for 90 mins. because iDVD wasn't meant to be a full blown program for professionals.
