Vimeo video conversion to DVD?

[BizCT]

Hey tech guys,

 

What is the easiest/best way to convert Vimeo videos to DVD?

 

I want to watch them on TV instead of computer/phone.

 

Thanks.

You can cast it if your tv and phone supports it. Otherwise, getting a device like chrome cast would do.

Thanks, but no idea what your talking about. What does "cast" mean? I do have a Samsung "Smart" TV if that helps....I was thinking I could simply put a dvd in my HP laptop and burn the video onto the dvd, no? Then I can make copies of the DVD and give them to other people....

No, unless you can download the Vimeo file and convert it to MPEG-2 then burn it to DVD. Besides, this is so 90's technology.

Try going directly to the source using your smart tv and try to play it through that.

Or download the file in an avi format or something and pop it onto a USB drive and plug it into your tv.

And that still doesn't work, buy chrome cast and have it "mirrored" from your phone to your tv.

Edit: if you want to give the DVD to others, then you have no choice but to go the conversion route and make it into a readable format which is MPEG-2.

Layman's terms.  You can connect your computer to your TV and essentially your computer now becomes the "DVD" player.  A friend of mine uses the Apple TV.  It's roughly $175 for the device and then he has monthly subscription to Netflix and Hulu which is pretty much all he watches.  He said if it was for the YES Network (he's a huge baseball fan), he would have cut the cord on his cable.

Ok, thanks. I will try accessing the video on my smart tv for home watching, and burning DVD's

Fire TV stick seems to be the next best thing. $40 for most, $25 if you're lucky, and you can watch a ton of stuff. Still trying to get the YES network though.

I have DirectTV, and get the MLB extra innings package for all of the MLB games (mostly for Red Sox) and NFL Sunday Ticket for all the football games (mostly for Chiefs).

FYI you can only download Vimeo videos if the video owner allows it.  Most do not.   You're better off going the casting route suggested by others.

The videos were made for me, so I have the ability to download them.
