    Okay, I'm trying to burn this movie off my hard drive using DVD X Xpress. Everytime I pull up the Video TS file for the movie to be read, I keep getting this Error that goes: could not open VIDEO_TS.IFO file
    It's not like the movie won't play. Windows media player, Real Player, and WinDVD plays it. Will I need to convert it from MPEG to something else before burning it?

    What was the original format for the movie? AVI? MPEG1? MPEG2?

    Are you using a RF version of XCopy?

    Sorry about doubling, my first sos didn't show up anywhere on the screen so I sent another just in case. The original format of the movie was AVI. Yes I'm using the RF version of DVD X as my weapon of choice. If only Sonic My DVD had shrinking capabilities, I'd have this problem licked by now!

    Well, XCopy RF will only burn video_ts files.

    How did your file end up in avi? Are they personal videos that you want on a dvd?

    Yes it's a home movie that I'd made and I thought that changing it into MPEG format would make it easier for My Sonic DVD to edit and burn. As it turns out my media can't hold all the data, and I had this bright idea to use DVD X Copy RF to shrink and burn the movie. All I keep getting is this #*&%! error "can't open VIDEO.TS IFO file". Just before attempting to burn the home movie I had just burned The Last Samurai using a file off the hard drive. What sorcery is this???
