dvd on a website
 

Hi Gurus

We would like to put a DVD on a website (just a snippet). How do we convert
the DVD to a type of file that can be viewed by people on the internet.

we are web safy, but we have no idea about DVDs.

Any help appreciated.

DVDs use overlays. Does "safy" mean that your website supports
overlays?

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.

First step is to get permission. Second step is to use a product that
will rip a dvd to and avi. I use Max DVD to avi converter. They have
a great trial version to start with. You can rip all or part of the
dvd as needed.

Classic! Nathan made it himself, it is his trip over the great wall of
china (he walked the wall thing!)...

Sorry, can you explain what you mean? I can do overlays on the web
(z-index, etc...), but do we need that?

Cool, thank you, yes we got permission, because Nathan filmed it. He used
some studio to make the DVD, but now he wants to put it on the web.

So avi would be the format that we want?

Thank you

WMV or QuickTime are better formats. Both these formats stream, whereas
AVI generally doesn't. Someone else suggested FLV (Flash video format)
which is also excellant so long as the visitor to the site has Flash 7
player installed (most do).

Depends on what it is on the DVD that you want to put on the website. Could
be almost anything - even a stain (scan and jpg or gif would be the way to
go on this).
