How do I burn mpeg files on to DVD-R?

Eee-Tee · 12-06-2003, 5:27 PM

I've got approx 4GB of content that i want to put on to DVD-R- 20 'Simpsons' episodes to be precise
But i'm not sure how to do this.

I was going to use Nero, and have upgraded to v5.5.10.28, which allows me to burn to DVD
But which of the options do i need?
Looking at it, i have the choice of:

*Data DVD> Creates a new data DVD
*Other DVD formats > Video DVD
>create a DVD from an image file

I assumed that i would need to use Video DVD, but it says in the wizzard " Nero needs a DVD compatible VOB, IFO, BUP image files to create a dvd, which i'm not using?

What is also confusing me is the fact that regardless of which one i choose, i can cut'n paste all 20 episodes , before the disk is full, where as if i import the episodes into Studio 8, i can only have about 5 episodes before the disk is full, both with DVD-R

Can anyone help plz

you need to "Author" the Mpeg before you can burn them to DVD this crears the VOB IFO BUP files

Pinnacle Studio 8 can do this but there's a bewlidering variety of other (sometimes cheaper) ones that can do so, too. You need to use the SVCD output if you want to play it on a "living room" dvd player. I use Ulead and it does the same thing as well as putting menus etc on the disk too.

Use a proggy called neoDVDplus4 it will convert any video files to DVD and lets ya do all menus on dvd its one of th easiest ones ive used and give very good results.
