Before I waste more discs, time and electricity, I need to know: 1/ My compilation is a mix of avi and mpeg and possibly other things: however, on right-clicking they show up as video clip, movie clip or wmav file. I need to know what they are in order to encode the ones that need it, right? How can I tell? 2/ One of the warnings I got after transcoding in Nero V.Exp 3 is that the clips are a mix of PAL and NTSC: this is important, right? but how can I tell which clip is which format? I'd want the finished product in my native PAL. 3/ Looking at other posts here, it seems that I cannot burn 8Gb onto a DL disc or save to my HD: as I understand it I have to say "Yes" I want the size reduced to fit a standard disc. Duh? So what do I have a DL capable burner and DL discs for? 4/ Presuming I can get as far as saving the project with buttons an' menus an' all to my HD, should I try the burn using anything EXCEPT Nero?
In case anyone does read my above post I thought I'd say that after reading this forum I've decided that I'm more likely to achieve what I want by using separate converting and burning tools and forgetting about Nero.
