DVD video on CD media

Circlotron · 22nd July 2007, 11:56 AM

The other day I burnt a .VOB video file to a CD instead of a DVD just to see if it would work. It plays ok but sometimes the sound stutters and gradually the sound gets out of sync with the video by 5 seconds or more. Why would this be? I am only using a cheap junk DVD player and the disc is a CDRW. Is it possible it is not being read properly? Has anyone else ever tried this?

Further investigation: I used SUPER(C) to convert video from .flv to .vob and somewhere in the conversion the audio was corrupted.

Is there anything else non-obvious I should know about putting DVD video on a CD?

perhaps you want encode VCD/SVCD?
This is quite compatibel with most DVD players.

I am using CDBurnerXP Pro and it doesn't support VCD but in any case I just wanted to see if DVD video would work on CD media. After reading further I find that early DVD players don't support this, later ones do. Sometimes it is called a Mini-DVD. A CD will hold about 25 minutes of DVD quality video according to some sources.
