Hello, I am new to burning video dvds.. I captured video from video camera through firewire by using Ulead Video Studio 9.0 in Mpeg format. I am using Nero Burning 7.0 to make a video dvd, BUT before burning Nero starts Transcoding of all the video files...Why???? Its take very long time about 5hours & 17min to burn a video dvd... In which format I have to capture video form movie camera???????? So Nero did not Transcode the video file and burn video dvd in very short time... Need your help
Give a freeware authoring program called ReJig a try (http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=ReJig). A basic authoring program but at least you'll find out whether or not your mpegs have to be re-encoded.
@avols143, Fast & quick is not the best with DVDs. General rule is: whatever the maximum speed of the media is (with your burner) burn at 1/2 that or 4X. You'll get the best results this way.
If you have 'Smart Encoding" checked in Nero it should not re-encode DVD compliant files. As to burning speeds my rule is to find the proper media for your burner that burns at it's rated spped. One size does not fit all. If you peruse some of these reviews you will see that many new burners can burn quality discs at 16X. http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/search/B/
