I can’t help you, since I download music from websites to cassettes. However, I read these threads with interest, since I’m curious about digitizing techniques, especially for analog materials.

Until I read this thread, I was unaware that video could be saved on CD’s.

You can put almost any video on a cd .. It’s just finding a way to put “streaming Video” on a cd that is a problem.

You can put Jpegs (still video/pictures) on a cd with no problem.

You can digitize analog music to anything from a loss less format to MP3 using the free program Audacity. all you need is a line out from your cassette player and a line in on your computer.

The Video CD format has been around about 20 years. It remains commonplace in the far east; a lot of movies and tv series aren't available any other way. I'm not sure why VCD format never caught on here. A movie on VCD usually has to be split in 2, but they take up a fraction of the storage space of a VHS tape. I have Chinese tv series here with 40-60 VCDs to a box.
