ibrewster 1 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 Is there an easy way, preferably without buying extra software, to archive EyeTV recordings to DVD? I'm not talking about burning a data disk containing the recordings, but rather making an actual DVD, playable in a DVD player, with the recordings. Even better would be if I could get a menu allowing me to easily select which recording I wanted to see. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ton 29 Report post Posted January 25, 2017 Why DVD format? It is very inefficiënt and takes up unnecessary space. I would-be concert to .MKV preferabel with Handbrake givong good quality and efficiency. Then files can be either played diirectly from Finder or using any Mediaplayer to your liking.

ibrewster 1 Report post Posted January 26, 2017 Because it's a standard format. Because I can take a DVD to just about anywhere, slap it in a player, and see my videos. Because I can watch a DVD without needing a computer. Because my non-techie friends can watch a DVD without any issues. Basically, it's just the best option for storing video :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ton 29 Report post Posted January 26, 2017 Go ahead if you believe so but remember that more and more PC's Cannon read Dvd anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ibrewster 1 Report post Posted January 26, 2017 True, but what does that have to do with anything? A DVD is designed to be watched in a DVD player (or a BluRay player would work as well), which is typically a device connected to a TV - no computer involved. So even if DVD players went away completely on computers, that would have absolutely no impact as to the usefulness of DVD's. Now if TV attached DVD players were going away that would be a different matter - but since BluRay drives play DVD's just fine, there's no danger of that in the foreseeable future.

Russ One 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 Not free but Toast works well… and can use EyeTV recordings without conversion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
