Many webmasters, especially the new comers find this task to be the most dreaded one. I also found out that many of these webmasters want to move to a new hosting, when things are not working really well with the current host. Most of them want to move out, but there is one thing that keeps on holding them back. They have so much files to move with them, especially their most valuable possession “database.” The majority of the websites today are database driven. Website of this kind is pretty much self-serve, and self-managing. Most common website types run by database are blogs such as this one, forum, e-commerce, CMS, video sharing community, etc..

Moving any type of database driven is just pain in the butt ( I hope I am allowed to say it here).

Thank you for the c-panel technology. c-panel is in fact came to the rescue when transferring your website from one hosting to the next provided that both hosting companies are running c-panel. You will just have to make an arrangement with your new hosting company about the transfer, and they can accomplished this with amazing speed and precision.

Now, here is the problem for those people who are not being hosted with a c-panel account manager. I remember reading a topic at one forum that I found while surfing the net. One webmaster posted a question, asking how he can move to a new hosting. Noting the condition of his  website, that his  database alone is almost close to one gig. Wow! I was amazed, this guy is probably have so many members. He also claimed that he cannot wait for that day that he is moving  out of his present hosting provider, he was so unhappy about the service for so many years, and the only thing that is holding him from moving is the database.

I guess he can no longer take all the broken promises of his host.  If I was in his situation, I would move out of there in less than two days . To all  the people who are afraid to move to a better server, please don’t be. Here is the  tutorial that will show you how to move your database driven website to the new server or hosting company. Everyone deserves to be treated nicely by their hosting company, and there should be no broken promises hidden within those fine prints.

In this tutorial, I will be using the SMF forum as my example. I will move this forum from one hosting to the next. Don’t worry, if you have a different type of website the process is exactly the same. The reason I choosen the SMF, because it is harder to move this site than any other type of website.

Back up all your files FIRST!

Log on to your account under your current hosting company. Make a back up of all the files in that account. To make a back up, you will have two choices. If you are being hosted by a host that is running c-panel, your life just got a little bit easier. You will just have to click back up then download the zip file and you are done. If you are one of those unfortunate, you will just have to do it through FTP program. Run your FTP program such as filezilla, and download all your files to your PC.

How to make a copy of your Database for the new server?

The majority of the hosting companies are using the mysql databases. If your website is using a different one, then you will probably have to seek the help of your current host. For the sake of this tutorial, I will be focusing on the mysql databases. Here we go..

If you are hosted with a c-panel access, log on to your account and go down to “Databases” table. Click on the PhpMyAdmin. Please refer to the image below.

In other hosts, this menu may appear different, but the idea is still the same. The phpMyAdmin is always there as one of the options. After clicking on the phpMyAdmin, a new window will open and this is your database admin. Again, please refer to the image below.

In this example, I will be exporting the database named “icp.” Click on the name of the database. If you have more than one database, you will have to repeat this process for each one. Below is the image of  how the database will appear on your screen.

Click on “CheckAll.” Make sure that everything on this table are checked. The next step is to go up on the page and click on the export button as shown on the image below.

The export options will be showing on the page on the left hand side will be something like on the image below.

Once again click on the “Select All” option to highlight every thing inside the form. Below the “Export” option is the type option. Make sure you ticked the “SQL.”

Below is the Structure option, make sure they are checked as shown on the image below.

The data option. By default these selections are already checked. Just in case they are not, please put a check next to these options just like the screen shot below.

Above is the Save option, and we want our database to be save as “zipped” click “OK,” a window prompt should appear on your screen, click save and your database is now saved on your desktop as a zipped file. you can unzipped this now, or later it does not matter.

If you have  several databases, this is the right time to download them. Download everything from your phpMyAdmin . Don’t worry about deleting any thing, because when you  send out your final notice to your current host, they will eventually do the deleting themselves. Your main mission at  this time is to make sure every file in the server are transferred on your PC.

We are done with the database export. The next article will be the actual move, but before we can do this, you will have download everything first. Once you are done downloading all of your files from your current host, you can begin processing the “Change of nameservers.” I will not get into this topic in great detail. When you apply for a new hosting account, the new host will give you this information. For example it could be like this ns1.someserver.com,,something in this format.

Preparing you Domain name for the Move! How to change your domain’s nameserver?

Just what I have already mentioned above, you will have to change the nameserver of your domain. To do this, you will have to log on to your domain account. This is the account when you register your domain. If you register your domain through godaddy, then you have to log on to that account and change the nameserver of your domain. If will take about 2 to 3 hours before the changes can take effect.

While we are waiting for the changes to take effect, you can make a file inventory of what you have on your PC against what is on the old server. Please make sure are downloaded properly. FTP programs are known to drop files during transfer, so just make sure all files are on your PC.

This topic will continue on my next article..

If you have got this far, you trully deserve another pat on the back. In this part of the tutorial we will be running the installation script using your favorite Internet browser. To execute the installation script pleas follow the steps below.

Open your favorite browser, and type in the url of the location of your vidiscript. If you uploaded the contents of this folder to your root directory of that domain, type http://yourDomainDotCom/install/, if you uploaded it into subfolder type http://YourDomainDotCom/NameOf YouSubFolder/install/.

Your browser will then take you to the installation page. Please refer to the screen shot below.

In my example above, you will notice that none of the folder permission has been set to 777, or 755. I intentionally do this to show people how the script can detect incompatibilities with the settings. Another issue is the “Encoders Installed” the script did not find the installed encoders. We can easily fix that later on inside the admin panel. There are few server settings that are on red text. This you will have to ask your hosting company how to make changes on this one, but most of the time it is not necessary. If you look at my demo server, it actually met all the requirements. With the only exemption of the post_max_size.  If all the folder permission is right, it will appear like the image below.

The above image shows properly permitted folders. Make sure all the folder permission is correct before going on to the next step. Click next.

The next step is filling in your database information. If you still have that information handy fill them in the appropriate cells  under Step 2 of the installation process. Please refer to the image below.

For all servers, this is almost right that “Host Name” is “localhost” if your database uses a host name, then put that as the default value. Click next step that should take you to the Step 3 of the installation.

Please enter your site name, if you are not sure what to put, just type in a name. You can change it later on at the administration panel. Site folder it is self explanatory. Make a note of your admin username and the admin password; otherwise you will be lock out of your website. Click “Next Step” and you are done. I don’t have the screen shot of the final screen. If you are following this tutorial, and want to share that screen shot, please do so by typing your comments on this section.

Finalizing your installation: Run your FileZilla and then connect to your server. Open the directory in which your vidiscript just been installed and look for the install folder. Right click on the “install” folder and choose delete. You are done with the installation. You can log on to your admin account and do necessary changes.

If your ffmpeg and mencoder were properly detected as shown above, make sure you double check with your hosting company. The most common location for these applications is usr/bin/ffmpeg and usr/bin/mencoder, or usr/local/bin/ffmpeg and usr/local/mencoder. There are times that the combinations of both such as usr/local/ffmpeg and usr/bin/mencoder, or vice versa. Each hosting companies differs in location of these encoders. Please sure you contact your hosting company’s support section just to make sure.

Making a test uploads

It is always a good practice to test your newly installed script. You can test by uploading different video file format. For example, I would test my site if it is encoding the uploaded video. To test this you will need an .avi movie file, or mpg. Upload this file and check if they are being encoded. You can also upload flv media file to make sure that it is being uploaded.

If you encounter any problems, please do not hesitate to visit the vidiscript forum. We are there to help you. I hope everyone learn from this tutorial. Please post your comments..

Best Regards,

PoorBoy

Before we can jump in to the installation process, we need to make sure that the following folders are given the permission of 777, or 755 if you are being hosted by apthost.

Folder ‘data‘

Folder ‘data/keys‘

File ‘data/scroller/scroller.xml‘

Folder ‘uploads‘

Folder ‘uploads/thumbs‘

Folder ‘uploads/avatars‘

Folder ‘uploads/ads‘

Folder ‘uploads/groupicons‘

File ‘includes/settings‘

File ‘includes/badwords‘

Changing the file permission in filezilla is easy. Let us change the file permission for the “data” folder. Right click on the “data” folder then click on the “file attributes” option as seen on the screen shot below.

Type in “777” on the “Numeric value“, for apthost use “755”

Change the permission for the remaining folders above, and you are done. Any folder that you missed will eventually, showed up during the installation. Up next, installing your vidiscript using your browser.

Requirements: Pre-Installation, Database Creation, Download the script.

The first step is downloading the vidiscript at their website. To download, you will have to provide your email address, so that a confirmation can be sent to you. After the confirmation, a download instruction will be given to you through email. A very simple process that I hope everyone could easily adhere to.

After you have downloaded your copy of vidiscript on pc, unzip these files on your pc. You can download 7-zip (also a free one). Once you’re done unzipping the files, I think we are ready to move on to the next step below. Before moving on, give yourself another pat on the back. Let me welcome you to the world of advance webmastering (novice style LOL).

Open your file zilla, if you have been following this tutorial from the very beginning, you are good to go ahead and do the installation. Using file zilla, connect to your server. Please refer to the image below.

To initiate a connection to your server, click on the arrow button next to the site manager icon on file zilla. On the dropdown menu, please select the ftp account that we have created in the earlier part of this tutorial. In this example, it is the “New site” found on the image below.

Click on your site’s name to initiate the connection. Once the connection is established, follow the instruction below.

Once you are connected, click on the public_html folder on the right hand window of the filezilla this is your server side. Everything you see on this window refers to your server. While on the left hand side window, is your local PC. Make sure you do not delete anything. Anything deleted on this window, is also deleted on your server, or on your PC. Please refer to the image below.

On the above image, you will see that I highlighted the “public_html” everything that you want to be seen by your website visitors, must be uploaded inside this folder. Once you open the “public_html,” you will see folder or folders inside just like the image below. Do not delete the cgi-bin folder and the .ftpquota file that are already there. For subfolder installation, please read below.

If you want to install the script in subfolder, you will have to create a new directory. You can create a new directory by right clicking inside the “public_html” then click on the “Create directory” a new folder will be created. You can name this folder with any name that you like for the sake of this tutorial; we will name it “myvideosharing.”

Now we are set to upload the vidiscript files to your “pulic_html” (If you are hosting multiple domains on your server, make sure you point file zilla to that folder). For example puplic_html/domainOne, public_html/domainTwo…etc..

Let’s upload the vidiscript files, on the left window of your filezilla, locate the location of your unzipped vidiscript. Click on the folder “vidiscript” please refer to the image below.

Double click on this folder to open it.

Below is the content of this folder.

Now that we found the files needed to be upload on the server. We can start uploading them.

Press the “Ctrl” (control button) on your keyboard, and highlight all the files. Right click and click on the “Upload” selection. Please refer to the screen shot below. Warning: Make sure you are uploading on the right target folder as I have mentioned above. Upload should begin immediately.

After uploading the file, you can double check if all the files were uploaded to the server. Many FTP programs are known to be dropping files during uploads, and filezilla is not exemption to this.

To make a quick file comparison, Click on the “view” button then select “Directory comparison” and then click on “Enable”.

If you find any files that are not included in the server side, just go ahead and upload them. Just make sure they go on the same folder, or directory. Up next is the setting the file permissions.

How to install Vidiscript: Preparing your database!

This is the second part of the tutorial on how to install vidiscript. If you made this far, you can give yourself a good pat on the back. Please have your cpanel account information ready. All of the hosting companies that support video sharing websites are basically running on c-panel. Although there are some that do not have c-panel account management, I am very positive that the process in creating the data base is pretty much the same. Before anything else, I would like to make it clear that vidiscript server requirements are specific, and under no circumstances that any of these requirements can be ignore, or can be optional. If you one of those individual who love to cut corners, then you will just embarking on the most dreaded experience of becoming a webmaster. Below are the mandatory requirements for the vidiscript.

Server Requirements (These requirements are mandatory. I have not seen any successful installation without having these requirements).

• Server must be running on Linux - although I can make this script run on window, I do not recommend it for anyone, especially for a friend, because friendship can end just like that. When things started to fell apart, so please don’t email me.
• Apache Web Server (Mod_Rewrite enabled) - Extremely important
• MySQL (Version 4.x)
• PHP (Version 4.3 or higher)
• GD Library 2 - with the “FreeType Support”
• cURL Enabled
• Latest IonCube loaders - This is extremely important that must not be overlooked when looking for a hosting company.
• .htaccess and URL rewrites enabled - Please ask your host if this supported.
• FFmpeg
• FFmpeg-PHP
• MEncoder and Mplayer
• LAME

I think I have said enough, and I do not want to be more specific than what I have said above. Now let us go for the database creation.

Log on to your cpanel account. Normally it is YourDomainDotCom/cpanel/. Once you are on your c-panel page, scroll down to find the “Databases” table. Please refer to the image below.

Click on the “MySQL Database Wizard” button to create your database. This should take you the database creation menu just like the image below.

Type in the database name you would like to use on your installation. It is always a good practice to name it in reference to the website that will be using the database. For example, if you are using this database for boat video sharing site, you can maybe name it to boatshare, etc. The choice of how and what you will name your database is yours. I am only suggesting this for the ease of recognizing which database is to what website, or domain. After giving your database a name, click on the “Next Step” button. You should see a screen similar to the image below.

The step two is adding a username for that specific database. On the “Username” form, type in your desired user name and your password just below that. Click next step.

The next step is the giving that user a privileges. In this example, I am giving that user an “All Privileges”. For the sake of this tutorial, I highly recommend choosing the same. Click “Next Step” button and you are done. Don’t forget to record the username and the password. We will be needing this information later on the actual installation of the vidiscript.

How to Install Vidiscript and other video sharing script!  Novice Edition

Pre-Installation

Find a suitable hosting company. I highly encourage everyone not to cut corners on this one. A savings of $2 to $5 dollars a month savings is not worth of your time running around finding for solutions if problems arise. Please choose from one of the recommend hosting providers wisely (In vidiscript website there are recommended hostings, that can guarantee a smooth installation of this script). Again, the final decision on which one of these hosting companies will be based on your website needs. If you will be hosting a lot of videos being uploaded to your server, then you may want to consider a bigger space and bandwidth.  The most important of all is making sure that all of the server requirements are met. DO NOT INSTALL IF ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS IS NOT SATISFIED OR MET.

I  personally recommend apthost for hosting your vidiscript please click here to visit and sign up for an account.

Here the brief overview of server requirements;

(These requirements are mandatory. I have not seen any successful installation without having these requirements).

• Server must be running on Linux - although I can make this script run on window, I do not recommend it for anyone, especially for a friend, because friendship can end just like that. When things started to fell apart, so please don’t email me.
• Apache Web Server (Mod_Rewrite enabled) - Extremely important

• MEncoder and Mplayer
• LAME

Make the following information ready, your ftp account log in info, c-panel info. If you do not have any ftp program installed on your pc, you will need to download one first. Another tool that is exceptionally useful in editing your vidiscript files is the programmer’s notepad. You can download a free ftp program here, and the free notepad here. Install these two applications on your pc.

Setting up your FTP (File Zilla and Programmer’s notepad)

Run the File Zilla, and set it up for your ftp account. Please refer to the images below.

Click on the site manager to fill in your ftp account information. Wait for the site manager window to open, and type in the name of your site, you can call this anything you like. If you will be using File Zilla for several ftp accounts, it is good to choose a name that suitable for every account to avoid any confusion. Below is the site manager.

After giving you site a name, click on the “General” tab on the right side of the window. Type in your ftp information Host- use the one from your ftp information. Servertype: leave the default or FTP - File Transfer Protocol, Logontype - set it Normal, User: Type in your user name, Password: type in your password. Click OK to finalized settings.

Setting up the default editor for your file zilla, so that it will automatically load your web documents to this default editor. On file zilla’s main window, click on the edit tab then click settings.

Above is the settings window, scroll down and look for the “File editing” option. Click the “File editing” option on the left menu. On the right side of the window is the “Default Editor” option, click on the “Browse” button and point it to the location of your programmer’s notepad. In my example it is under program files of my C: drive. Click “OK” and you are done. Click here to continue.

VidiScript

Vidiscript is one of my favorite youtube clone script out there. It has the features of the phpdirector, phpmotion combined, and all the features you could imagine to have a successful video sharing community. Vidiscript has not been around for a long time, but it raises the bar in the competition. I am amazed on the generosity of the authors of this script, because they are giving this script for FREE. Yes FREE with much features that can cost anyone for thousand of dollars. I ran out of superlatives to describe how excellent this script is. I will be taking some of the features written on their website. If you are in video sharing communities this is what you are looking for.

Disclosures: I am an active member of vidiscript community. I strongly suggests to evaluate my claims fully, before installing this script.

Vidiscript Features (this is taken from their website http://vidiscript.com )

1. SEO Friendly - This is very important to get top search engine rankings for your website
2. FLV Player (Pro) is available for a fee. You can truly have your own brand videos with the flv Player Pro. For a small fee, you can have watermark, ads rolls, video banners, recommended videos (seen on youtubes players) aft each video plays, email this video features, slow motion capable, video smoothing (quality can be set by front end user), video brightness-contrast-saturation can be adjusted by front end user, full screen options without restarting video, and player guide.
3. Media uploads- allows several form of media from videos, images, audio, and flash games.
4. Have an excellent user management features for both the admin and the members. Group management is also incorporated in the script. There are so many features not listed on this article. You can read more about it in their website.
5. Allows adult content - This is the only FREE video sharing script out there that does not restrict the freedom of choice of their user. For extra fee, you can purchase the mature content filter to protect minors from getting accessing your adult contents.
6. Allows video embed from other websites.
7. CSS based design- It comes with two different templates.

CONS: Has not been around for a long time. Bugs may surface from time to time, templates availability are limited. Although there are few problems associated with the installation of this script, forum administrator, and moderators are offering their untiring dedication in helping people to solve their problems. I am honored to be an active member of their forum.

PROS: There is so much to list. I think I would need so much time to describe them here. This script is the best script out there. Don’t just take my words, try it for yourself.

To Download this script: Get it here

For a tutorial on how to install this script, you can click here.

PHPMOTION

Phpmotion is my second choice. I consider this script to be an excellent video content management. Unlike the phpdirector, phpmotion allows users to upload video and audio to your server. However, phpmotion is lacking the features of phpdirector. If phpmotion can only allow its users to embed videos from other website like YouTube, it could have taken this script to the next level, only comparable to the commercial scripts costing hundreds of dollars. (As of the writing of this article, this is an optional feature for a fee). Like YouTube, phpmotion have good user’s management features such as avatars, favorites, and play list. With minor script modifications, php motion can have many features implemented, because this script is actively supported in their forum. Below is the detailed list of the phpmotion features.

1. 100% free to download and to use
2. Template based design allows you to change the look and feel
3. It is being actively use by many webmasters. According to the phpmotion statistics there are over 100,000 users of this script.
4. A full featured administration area.
5. Full support for audio upload. MP3 is the only format supported at this time. This feature can be disabled if needed be.
6. Playlist support.
7. CSS based templates for easy editing.

CONS: Phpmotion does not allow image, games uploads. It does not support the inclusion of embed codes from other websites. Calls for a bigger storage and can be subject to higher bandwidth usage (depending on views and video files).  Copyright “Powered by Phpmotion” on the bottom of  all pages.

PROS: Have been around for years and there are not many known bugs. Constantly upgraded and maintained by its developer. Templates are available in many different color variations for FREE, and the commercial templates are excellent. It is easy to install (medium to advance level). Copyright removal for a fee is available. There are integration scripts available for forums like smf and vb scripts. Support forum is active. Scripts are open and not encoded.

Installing the phpmotion can be easy as phpdirector installation. However, if you will be adding these cool features found in their forum, then you will be finding your hands wet with php codes. I still think that these add-on mods to be very useful and it is really improving the functionality of the phpmotion. You can download php motion here. My demo site can be found here.

Free video sharing is very hot on the Internet today. The number of people watching online videos is increasing at a constant rate. More viewers, more publishers are needed. I have had this discussion with my friends several months ago. I was asked if  is it possible for a regular Joe to own a video sharing website? After months of careful research, I finally have the answer!

The answer is definitely yes, and it is possible through many variations of you tube clone scripts. Amazingly, these scripts are available on the net for anyone to download. My searched have yielded too many scripts for me to consider. At first, I could not decide which one to use. To sort out which one is the right script for me, I figured that it will be a good idea if I install all of them. After installation, I conducted a non-stop testing of the key features of these scripts, and separating them into two groups.

The first group is the FREE scripts and the second group is the commercial scripts. The FREE script is the best choice to start a small community. The commercial scripts are very expensive. If you will not be making good revenue from the advertising, it would take years before you can recover your cost. Most commercial scripts are expensive. However, I was very amazed to find one starting as low as $10.00.

Another consideration that an aspiring webmaster must consider is the hosting cost. Video sharing scripts have special server requirements. Unlike other hosting plans, video sharing scripts calls for ffmpeg, mencoder, php, database, and many others features. I will be discussing some hosting plans that I strongly recommends for each type of script.

Which Scripts to use?

It all depends on what is your plan. How big is the community you are planning to build? Are you planning to allow your members to embed, upload, or both? There are three scripts out there and all of them are free. Each one can do different features, but only one can do all. Let us consider the first script below.

My first candidate is the phpdirector script. You can download your copy for free. Make sure you download the latest version. As of this writing the latest version is   PHPDirector-Install-0.21-.zip, If you find this link to be dead, just search it on google.

PHPDIRECTOR

Phpdirector is a well written script that allows anyone with basic knowledge of HTML, PHP, and database creation to run a video sharing website without heavy involvement in web programming. This is a perfect script for anyone who does not want their members to be uploading video files on their server. This script allows members to embed videos from three different major video sharing websites like You Tube, Google Video, and Daily Motion. The ease of use is well suited for any part time webmaster. The only responsibilities that are left to the webmaster are the video approvals, and deleting dead link videos.

CONS: Phpdirector does not allow members to upload videos on the server. It does not have a music upload features, dead link video can remain undetected, copyright “powered by phpdirector” must remain on all pages of your website. As of this writing, I am not really sure if a copyright removal is being offered. I hope they do. There is no integration mod with other platform such as forum.

PROS: This script is one the easiest to install almost 100% fault free installation. This script is also supported by community forum. This script does not need a lot of space to host. Ease of content administration. You can add thousand of contents in less than two days (just copy and paste), and the final decision on which video will show on pages is left in the hand of the webmasters. This script does not need special server requirements such ffmpeg, mencoder, etc. It has a really nice default template. Advertising spot is provided, and can place adsense ads.

My first installation of phpdirector was a no brainer. I have my website up and running with more than 100 videos in less than 2 hours. Here is my demo site powered by phpdirector.

HOW TO CONVERT DVD TO AVI

DVD TO AVI- This tutorial will guide you on how to convert DVD to AVI, or DViX files using Auto GK.  AVI is an mpeg 4 movie. It has a very good quality considering the file size. In most cases, one movie can fit into one CDR disc, and still have its digital quality. If your DVD player support DiVX movie, this is the best and the cheapest alternative to SVCD and DVD. As of the writing of this tutorial, we found many stand alone DVD players that can play this format. If your purpose is to play the disc on your desktop, then you just have to download these codec’s: Gordian codec pack, and the nimo codec pack, and Divx pro. To convert any DVD to AVI format, just follow the tutorial below.

HINT: Some previously recorded AVI movies with non DiVX4/5 codec, could encounter a Codec problems. To correct these problems you need to download an XviD. You must save the old AVI movie on your hard drive. Then run the AviC (Four CC Changer) from the XviD directory. Change the Four CC to DiVX 5. You can now burn the AVI movie onto the disc.

There are many available applications out there that can be use to accomplish this job. However. for the purpose of this tutorial, we will be only using two applications. The first application is the Auto GK. This is the best that we can found out there, and it is FREE of charge. The second one is the DVD Decrypter. Decrypter has been known to be one of the best in ripping DVD. DVD Decrypter is also available for FREE. Before you begin with the tutorial below, you need to download and install Auto GK, and DVD Decrypter. If you have downloaded and installed them, follow the tutorial below. One last thing, make sure DiVX pro, or the FREE ones they have on their website is installed on your computer. Otherwise, the conversion will not work.

STEP ONE
Create two new folders somewhere in your hard drive. Make a note of this location. Now name the first folder ” FIRST ,” then the second ” SECOND.” Screen Shots.

Place the DVD into the DVD ROM. Press cancel on the auto run prompt. Run the DVD Decrypter. It should scan the DVD movie automatically. If it doesn’t, eject the DVD and reload it.

1. Click on the “Mode” tab and check “IFO“. 2. Click on the destination folder to open the file browser, and point it to the “FIRST” folder the one that we just have created above. Finally, click on the disc and the hard drive icon. The ripping should begin immediately and will save the movie into your hard drive. Wait until the ripping is completely done. Screen Shots .

WARNING: This could take up some large space of your hard drive, just don’t forget to delete these files after you’re done recording them on the disc.

STEP TWO
After the DVD Decrypter decrypted the movie, open the AutoGK. The AutoGK GUI has FOUR steps we will be discussing the basic functions of these steps. Screen Shots to set-up the autoGK.

STEP THREE
After about an hour, the DiVX movie should be ready and can be burn onto the disc. Burn the movie as an “ISO,” or “Data” with Nero. The output movie should fit in one CDR disc.

HOW TO BURN YOUR AVI MOVIES ON DVD DISC?
This option will allow you to have four AVI movies on a single DVD disc. To accomplish this you would need a DVD burner and Nero burning software. Normally, Nero comes with your DVD burner as support software.
