the reason i try to use a data dvd is so i can send my mom a couple of disk at a time so she can watch it on here dvd player while she is going through her cancer treatments.. any suggestions would be great

 

Please look for a log of your failed burn, found here:

Program Files\Ahead\Nero\NeroHistory

Post it in this thread and we should be able to help you.

Something to consider for your situation in general is that your mum's dvd player will have to be able to play .avi files from disc - not all are capable of doing so.

 

Assuming that the standalone will play DivX files, consider using ImgBurn to burn them to the disk.
Run ImgBurn and from the splash screen, click 'Write files/folders to disc'
Browse to and load the files.
Insert a disk, select a moderate burning speed (under the 'Device' tab) and click the green button.

 

Personally I use InfraRecorder to burn data now, but yes giving either of these a try would be worthwhile.

I've never been a huge fan of Nero past version 6.6.0.18!

 

ripper i went to Program Files\Ahead\Nero\NeroHistory and i cant find that folder? so i dont know where else i can find out why my burns diddnt work? any suggestions?

 

Do a search for: NeroHistory.txt

 

did a search on all files and folders and on c drive nothing came up

 

Try your project with ImgBurn - it also produces a log after a burn session - I hope you won't need it..

 

img burn is this the same as express burn? when i go to d/l img burn express burn comes up? sorry to be a pian like i stated not very good on the computer

 

http://download.imgburn.com/SetupImgBurn_2.5.1.0.exe

 

ok i d/l img burn and i did 4 movies and it was a successful burn, but when i put it in my dvd that plays divx only 3 movies shows up but i burnt 4?

 

If you look at the disk using Windows explorer does it list four movies.

 

yes it shows 4 movies

 

If you can play all of the movies on the PC from the burned disk, it's not a burning problem.

 

Occasionally my DVD player will not play certain .avi files - it's a codec problem, but without knowing specifics it'll be a nightmare to troubleshoot exactly. But as attar said, it isn't a burning problem.

 

ive had problem with my dvd player playing xvid.could be that 1 particular file that isn't showing up could be an xvid or some other type of file that won't play.I got a program called gspot that can identify what type of file it is.also fourcc changer to change the file type

@attar maybe you could post a link for him.pretty sure if was you that referred me to them programs and they are very helpful.

edit just noticed don't need to post a link.its on afterdawn software(automatic link)
