By floppy, you must mean your hard drive right? If so then yes, you can burn them to DVD

The correct answer is sometimes.  You ALSO require a DVD burner and software.\n\nSome movies will copy directly disc to disc, and some will not.  This depends, in part, on your burner software.  Others can be transferred to your computer first, and sometimes the players (on computers) will not play them until they are in a "decoded" format.\n\nYou CAN get "decrypter" programs that will allow you to put movies onto your hard drive for the ones that won't copy directly.  Then with appropriate software you can put them on a new DVD, from your hard drive.\n\nKindly note that doing so is ILLEGAL, and you can land in jail!!

You can convert them to vcd or svcd and burn them with your cd burner in that format but you need burning software that will burn a disk in that format. I have nero and have had no problems. Also you need a dvd player that supports vcd's and svcd's and then you can play them on your dvd player. I have been doing it for years now. Vcd stands for video Compact Disk and svcd stands for super video compact disk.

In theory, you could copy a feature length movie (most of which are on 8.5 gb dual layer disks) onto one without having to compress it. But the blanks are still very expensive, and the whole DVD shebang is on the verge of obsolencence anyway, so don't bother with it if you haven't already got one, unless you have a specific reason for having one.

You can take a soft paper towel and rub it in the CD or DVD and it might work

You can download a free programme called DVD SANTA.  Use it to convert various types of files (mpeg, avi, wmv etc..) to VOB files which will allow play in a dvd player.  I've used it, it's easy.

No, afraid not. It's just not made to hold that much information. The groves are not as close together to compress that much on a CD.\n\nI've heard of software that will allow a DVD movie to be put onto a CD with little loss of quality, but never seen it in action.

www.torrentspy.com may be able to help you out. \n\n\nI would also recommend www.zdnet.com. You should be able to find free programs there or at least demos that can help you out. Worst case scenario type this exact search criteria in the Yahoo! search bar. "DVD to .dat" "conversion" and that should lead you into the right direction as to what programs are available. =)\n\nHope this helped!

Dvd shrink. (dvdshrink.com) will decode and allow you to rip anything. . . .But only if you can download it FIRST. I don't think there is a way around that, unless you ask for permission from the website. Copyrighted items can be "borrowed" if you have permission. I would just email them and ask. Let them know what you are going to use it for, too.

If they are mpeg and no bigger than 700mb you should be able to burn them onto cd and play them, if they are avi format you will need a dvix codec in order to play them.\n\nYou can do all of that without a dvd burner.

No, not unless the DVD is "region free" but I have heard that those don't work reliably on all DVD players.

The easiest program I found to use is called NeroVision , you put any media file into it, it will make a playable DVD for you. So simple!

Uh Yes!!! . You can even burn it as a VCD format so you can play it on your VCD/DVD player

Yes you can , but if you want to play them in a DVD player, you will need to transcode them.\nNeroVision is the program I like to use to perform this function as it is pretty much drag and drop simple.\nIt does all the work for you.\nOf course you need a DVD burner. You cannot use these disks in a CD burner.\nIf you have a CD burner and regular CDRs but still want something that will play in your DVD player, most players support a format called SVCD and VCD. Nerovision is also capable of making your videos into a VCD or SVCD disk on a regular CDR.

yes you will need to get a DVD burner and some DVD software. You can get these pretty cheap now and there is a ton of cool software on the web for free. Many DVD's can be downloaded from one of the bittorrent sites or other file shares. Good luck

You can use Nero to 'burn the image file to disc' (its in the copy and backup section). From there, it should work on your DVD player
