Having trouble making a DVD

SuperZeldaBros · Post by **SuperZeldaBros** » Thu May 25, 2006 11:00 am

So, I downloaded the iPod video sized version of Port Washington. (Great movie btw) Anyway, I thought to myself, "Wow, I should show this to my friends, but I don't want to make them crowd around my computer." The solution: make a DVD. Now Ben made a fancy DVD set, but it isn't available for download as an ISO image or available to buy. So I downloaded the big honkin' mpeg4 version intending to make a DVD out of it using Premiere Elements, but Premiere decided that it didn't want to support mpeg4.
So I in vain searched the internet looking for some way to convert the mp4 file into some sort of dvd-compliant MPEG2, but everything I tried either froze up my computer, or just plain didn't work.
I figured the next easiest way out would be to download the DivX version. Little did I know that Premiere would choke on that one too. It gave an "unsupported audio rate in file" error message.
How should I go about trying to do this next?
The only software I have for this sort of thing is Adobe Premiere Elements.

This is ben's own site, and you're asking for a way to make a fake copy of his movie?

......You could e-mail it to them, or tell them to download it themselves.

Use Nero or Roxio, see if that works.

Euh ??? Ben himself would like to put iso on the web so... This is a free movie... I don't get what's wrong with making a copy of it...

you need codecs. if your computer dosent have MP4 codecs then nothing is going to be able to open it.

get the "k-lite codec pack" as well as "quicktime alternative" if you dont have them already. (if you already have quicktime then dont bother with the alternative. it just dosent come with itunes and crap). then see if it works.

Or you can use the apparently little-known Quicktime Standalone Installer. It has QuickTime 7, but no iTunes. (I don't need iTunes, I just have everything divided into folders! No iPod either.

Someone should host this on youtube.

Last I checked, youtube cut the max movie time to 10 minutes, possibly to try and curb people putting episodes of tv series and movies on their system. Port Washington would have to be cut into 10 minure or less chunks to fit.
