binkie: OK I tried using DVD Flick. I loaded all 3 movie clips which totalled 87% of the capacity of my empty disk. It was working ok when I left it unatended, when I returned in about 90 minutes. It said the burn process was successful and all items along the left side had check marks beside BUT the disk was BLANK. What did I do wrong? This program seems so simple. Thanks Dave
Perhaps, the burning didn't actually take place. Here' a guide on how to burn the DVD files (VIDEO_TS folder) using Nero. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/burning_dvd_with_nero.cfm
Hmmm in the burn tab in DVDFlick - check and make sure 'burn project to disc' is checked. I'd also try pryme_H suggestion and use Nero (burning rom or express) to burn the files output from DVDFlick.
Binkie: Here's the proceedure I followd using DVD Flick. I loaded my clips (87%),Click the tab at the top that says: "Create DVD" then a screen pops up saying: "Are you sure you want to continue?) I clicked "Yes". There was no place to "make sure burn project to disk was checked" As for Pryme_H's suggestion. I have no clue what he's talking about. I have enough problems trying to use a single DVD burning program without trying to use a combination of two, which is what I think he's suggesting??? I think you 2 gentlemen are giving me credit for more knowlege about this stuff than I actually have. lol ..... Dave
It looks like you have successfully encoded the file(s) into DVD. Next, I recommend you scrutinize the ensuing files (VIDEO_TS folder) for any discrepancies before burning; that way you don't waste your media. And given that you already have Nero, use it to burn those DVD files. Please follow the guide I gave you. If you get stumped along the way, ask. We'll be here...
@elcampion Hunh? What are you trying to do? Best bet may be to start a new thread. @MoneyPit6 DVDFlick should have saved the video_ts folder to your hard drive. Open Nero SmartStart. Pick Express under application then Video/pictures>DVD-Video Files. Now add the video ts folder and burn. Oh and btw I'm a lady
Im still on nero 6. Just wondering if it was worth updating to 7 or 8. I keep hearing people having problems with those two alot. I use 6 for movie backups,music,photo.
I use all 3 versions (different pc's) and truthfully if you're happy w/ Nero 6 and not having any problems then stick w/ it. Nero 7 isn't that bad -no problems on my end - has a few more bells & whistles - like a profile for the iPod & PSP in Recode. Nero 7 and Nero 8 do better at dual layer burning then Nero 6 but I prefer ImgBurn for dual layer burning.
Pryme_H. Thanks for your help. I tried as you suggested above but the DVD still turned out blank. The message was something like: "No blank media in drive, drawer open" There was a blank DVD and it was in the right drive. I don't know what you mean by your refference to: VIDEO TS FOLDER
No. You don't need a DL disc for this project. Did you use Nero to burn? I know this sounds silly, but is the DVD drive tray close?
I tried to burn my project with DVD Fick. I don't want to attempt to use Nero AND DVD Flick together, it's too confusing. Yes the cd drawer was closed This is getting VERY complicated. I'm close to ending this thread. Thanks tho Dave
