G'day all.. I hope someone can help with a problem I am having with Nero 7 with the latest updates. I have copied some old VHS tapes and am trying to make them in to a DVD-Video using the Nero "Make Your Own DVD-Video" but the problem is that once I have made the movie and even before I burn it to a DVD, I run it from my HDD and the video is jerky and even stops for short periods and just the same if burnt to a disc. I can run the same movie with Nero's "Play Video" and it runs smoothly and if I burn it to a DVD using "Make Data DVD" it runs ok as well. It is only using the "Make Your Own DVD-Video" that I am having problems with.. Hope someone can point me in the right direction..
You must be using .avi files. If you are, some of the updates to NeroVision 4 had problems with them. Which version are you using of Nero 7?
If you used the Make DVD-Video, it opened NeroVision 4. I don't see many complaints about MPEG files having problems, but maybe yours do for some reason. It almost seems that if the file is not DVD ready, NV4 will transcode it while it plays, hence causing the hesitations, but this is just a guess. Things to try. When on the editing page with the video in the media files window, hold the mouse over it and get the specifics about the file, maybe that will help. You might also try exporting the files and then put them back into NV4 to see if they play better. Also note, that even though they play rough during editing, they may play fine once burned. Also make sure you have the DMAs turned on for your drives, which will help in the playback. If you haven't tried the burned disk that is jerky in another computer, you might try that. In one version of Showtime, the commercial DVD would hesitate, and turning on the DMAs helped. I have complained to Nero that some processes are taking way too much CPU power, but so far they have ignored me.
