I have Nero Suite 3 Version 6.6. I have succesfully burnt two DVDs so far. Both were formatted .mp4 and all I did was go to Nero SmartStart -> Make a DVD-Video, add the files and burn them. They worked fine on my DVD player. I tried to burn .AVI files and that proves to be a hard task (for my relatively noobishness skills anyway). I am using Nero in conjunction with ConvertXtoDVD. So. Here is what I THINK I should be doing. STEP 1: Convert the .avi file to .vbo with ConvertXtoDVD. BUT I WANT TO BURN WITH NERO! So, STEP 2: Open Nero Burning ROM -> New Compilation -> Add my converted files made with ConvertXtoDVD to the VIDEO_TS folder. STEP 3: Hit burn! Is that all I need to do? If I want to burn a few episodes onto one disc, do I simply add ALL my converted files into the same project? Thankyou in advance!
Here's a great guide by alkohol that I recommend you follow. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/272946
I have followed my own steps. And the DVD plays on my player. There is just one problem. Every 10-30 seconds there is a brief pause in the video. I don't know why. Perhaps I should have burnt it at a slower speed. I burnt it at 8X on an 8X disc. Can anyone solve this problem?
When burning your backups, to be safe, try burning at half the rated speed of the disk. ie...If it's a 16X disk, burn at 8x 12x disk, burn at 6x 8x disk, burn at 4x If the movie/video is skipping, or freezing/pausing during playback, you're burning too fast. Try burning at 4x (since you're using 8x rated media) and always use good media (I personally use Sony DVD+Rs).
