hi, i am a newb. i am looking to burn a number of media files onto a dvd+r dl. most of these files are 500-700 mb each (most are mpeg but several are avi), and on average i will need to burn 2-3 of the files onto each disk (about 3 hours of dvd-quality video on one disk). what would be the best program to use for this type of media/file format if i am looking to add chapters? i would not be adding more than 8-10 chapters per disk. i have downloaded several of the top selling programs, because nero express seems to freeze up when i try to burn these, but none of them would do what i needed. all i need is a good program that doesn't use up a whole lot of memory, that works with dvd+r DL disks that will allow me to add chapters. i don't even want to make menus. thanks alot for any help.
hello,i bought 1click dvd copy and copy to dvd in jan.at that time i beleive it was only 1 i could find with dual layer burning which is the main reason i bought it.i did try the 3 burn demo before buying it.i also use dvd43 decryptor with it.before 1click i used 321 studios dvdxcopy,and dvd shrink.but not for dual layer burning. the good points of 1click/copy to dvd. 1.writes to dual layer discs.i use fuji/memorex/verb dvd+r 2.4x dual layer discs.these have worked great for me.tdk/sony/hp brand i had a few problems with.so i stick with the 1st 3 listed. 2.great quality movie back ups. 3.copy to dvd was free with purchase.i have used this only a few times i had no problem working with it.this is great for discs that are scratched.also you can cut in to chapters. 4.1click dvd has burned EVERY MOVIE I HAVE BACKED UP!!!this is combined with dvd43. 5.very simple to use. now to the bad points. 1.the yrly $20 fee to keep it updated.thats a drag thats it. i have read mixxed opinions,mainly neg ones which i think comes from the $20 yr update fee,from diffrent forums.other than that i think its great product and wouldnt use anything else.i will add i dont keep up with other software programs since i got 1 click dvd so i dont know if there others than burn dual layer.i use a pioneer ao8 108(i think thats the model)it reads/writes to dvd+/-r/rw dual layer and have watch them on sony dvp-ns5759 dvd player that reads dvd+/-r/rw dual layer media. hope this long winded post helps.
For what the OP wants to do, you'd just use Nero. Start a DVD-ROM compilation in Nero Burning ROM and just add files until the disc is full.
