They said it was going to be easy to burn my minidvs to dvd and it has been a nightmare, i have a ton of software that i already use to backup and burn dual layer. I have the file converted to mpeg2 now but cant seem to get it to work on my dvd player, i have tried many different ways and keep wasting dvds. I even tried converting to iso. Ive tried about 4 different software programs, what is the best way to do this? I have been editing with pinnacle and converting to mpeg2 with it also, just need a program to burn a readable dvd.
lets go back abit; what programs have you tried? why did they fail? did you recieve any errors and if so can you produce them?
Ive tried nero, vso, tmpge and no i didnt recieve any errors. in nero i just selected burn dvd and dropped the mpeg file in nero and burned. my dvd player wont play any of them almost like theyre data dvds or something
the mpeg file what is it ? mpeg1,2 3,4 it needs to be converted to mpeg2 before nero will recognize it as a file been in the dvd movie format so that it will burn it to disc. Ypou mention vso, as they have a few products,which one were you using?
i beleive it was divx to dvd, yeah the file is already a mpeg2 file made in pinnacle. does it need to be a vob file?
no its fine.Just open dvdshrink,select reauthor and you should be able to load your file. or load it through nero recode
what exactly does the reauthor and or recode do? should i just do it this way from the beginning when the file is avi and skip the conversion to mpeg2?
if you dont convert it to mpeg2, you have 2 choices 1.burn it to disc and watch it on your pc 2.get a divx player than will play the raw file with out conversion
