Computers Burning a DVD movie

Alternatively, NeroVision can handle avi.

 

You mean Izzy, right?

I have no input, really. All I'd do is copy the file to the writeable folder, right click and select "burn these files" and let it go. I s'pose that's like, no help at all, though.

 

I don't believe so.

Regardless it's pretty easy. Drag and drop the avi, and it'll do all the converting for you. The only thing I've ever had to alter in its settings was have it write to the hard drive instead of directly to disk, and then burn the resulting files.

 

Oh, now that we're on that subject, any of the DVD programs let you install subtitles on the DVD? I was given an encoding program to put on SUBS, but it takes lots of quality, and It'd be simpler on just a DVD.

Anyone?

As for Nero Start Smart, I know what you mean. But why (for example) is it that when I put ina (say) 185Mb file, it gets extended mysteriously to 1Gb?

I'd like to add in that NeroVision can also support multiple files; once I burned Clone High to DVD for my housemate Kevin, complete with animated menus. The only downside I can think of to the program is that it doesn't support subtitles if they aren't hardcoded on the avi (that means if the subtitles are a seperate file, you're out of luck), and that there is the rare file that doesn't want to work with it (but to be honest, I never got the file working with any transcoding program, so take it for what it's worth).

 

Since you guys seem to know your stuff about DVDs, and the title of the thread is about how to go about burning one.

Im having a little trouble with DVD Shrink to back up my DVD CD's. Now here's what happened. I decrypted the DVD to its regular AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files, but it doesent give me the option to burn it afterwards. Just to create an ISO image file. Ive installed Nero 6 and it wont give me an option to burn it with that.
Then i tried using Nero Recode 2, but the program only acted as if it had recorded the DVD, when it didnt actually burn anything.
Last, i tried using the regular burning by opening the blank folder and clicking "Write these files to CD"...that didnt work either. It would stop halfway, and say that there is an error.
And to add to all these problems, the elders in this house have banned me from Computer Administrator rights, so i cant install anything else.
Can anyone help me out, and see if i can do anything with what i have?

Like i said, i got that far. But it wont give me a burning option. Just an to make an ISO File.

...Yes. Make that ISO file, that's GOOD. Then open your favourite burning program, and use Burn ISO/Data. Hit File, Open, and select the ISO. Burn. Done.

 

Well, it all goes nice and well with the writting...there's just that one problem i mentioned.
Every time i try to burn a file, my computer says "Burning" but my DVD Burner drive is totally inactive. I can even open it while its "Burning" and the computer doesent seem to even notice i took it out.
Any ideas on what could be wrong with my driver? It loads things just fine...but it wont burn any files or anything.

Help...please!?

Are you burning to your hard drive? :v:

 

No, Ive been trying to burn to a CD but it wont do it. My DVD Burner doesent seem to be doing what the computer says it is.
And Ive already got the AUDIO/VIDEO_TS files AND an ISO file ready to burn to a DVD-CD. Ive followed the steps you said before, and they all went smoothly...its just my DVD Burner that isnt doing what its supposed to.
