hi twiz

I burn my animes in 2 ways:

1. Data DVD

I just store the AVI or MKV format episodes in just 1 DVD and it can be played in the computer but cannot be played in the DVD player except if your DVD player can read divx or xvid (these are the newer models of DVD players) ... this is fairly easy because if your laptop or computer has a DVD burner, it has a software that is bundled with it, you can use it already to create the data DVD disc ... for my laptop, I have nero StartSmart which is fairly easy to use ... and I can save on space because a 12 - 13 episode anime series is only about 2.3 gig and sometimes I can put 2 anime series in one data DVD disc or if you have a longer anime series example Ouran Host Club was 26 episodes, I had to compress it first to zip file before I was able to save into 1 DVD disc (I'm talking about the 4.7 GB DVD disc ok?)

2. DVD format

this one is playable in any DVD player ... in my case I got a portable DVD player that I bring with me ... this one I had some problems because I need to find a software to convert my AVIs to DVD ... and right now I'm using ConvertXtoDVD which is not a free software ... I bought mine online (but you may be able to find warez of this or similar software such as this) ... the thing is, I cannot convert the video if the file is MKV, the subtitles are lost ... I'm not sure if I can convert RM/RMVB because I haven't tried it yet ... I can only convert AVI files ... I can put the entire series in one DVD but I found out that the more episodes you try to compress in one DVD, the poorer the quality of the video ... so I try to limit the number of episodes to 12 or max of 13 ... so for Myself, Yourself which has 13 episodes I was able to convert and save in one DVD disc and play it in my portable DVD player ...

I hope this helps and check out some tutorials online, too ... that might be able to help you ... or you can ask BlackBlade ---> AnimeA Tech Guru ... hehehehehe ... you can ask him anything about gadgets, conversion and computer stuff ... you can PM him if you want ...
