Okay, so i used WinAvi to convert a show series to dvd. I tried to do what was said on the other thread about burning to Nero but unluckily the files wont burn. Each episode has its own video_ts and audio_ts files. I seem to only be seeing threads here on DVDShrink then burning thru Nero. As I try to include each episode for burning, it says: "A special entry already present on the target location. Original, Joliet, or ISO file names can be identical. Cannot move 'Video_TS.BUP to new location." next, same warning but "Video_TS.IFO". I continue on anyway. So I click burn compilation then burn. But it wont burn! It says: "DVD-Video files reallocation failed. The resulting DVD-Video might be unplayable. Do you want to continue?" What do i do??
Here's the log when I tried Nero Express. Still said the same things.

I always use Nero to encode and burn, but a mate of mine uses WinAvi and he had troubles burning multiple converted files to one DVD (he asked my advice but I was clueless). I saw him last night and he briefly mentioned that he used DVD Shrink to burn the files and it worked fine on his DVD player. So, I would see what you can do with DVD Shrink until someone can answer your question properly. Or wait. Or do some Googling.
Your version of nero is not recognizing your drive and is giving it a generic listing. The latest 6x version has some major bugs, but 6.6.0.18 was stable, and is an update at least. http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe
Thankyou for this guide....it has taken me a very long to figure out how to burn more than one episode per dvd...thanks to this guide, now i can! it is very helpful
