ok.. im completely done.. project is trancoded, shrunk, and burnt.. I have a question about the postgame... after the burn, nero offers to save the project to the hardrive (so i can burn later i assume if need be) Can i delete the original video_ts folder? or does this saved project still need that folder as a reference? Lame question , i know.. but if the project saved doesn't need the 3-4 gig folder any longer.. that would be sweet. I could just delete the folder and test on my own, but i dont wanna waste a disc So basically, Does a saved completed project still need the video_ts folders on the computer?
well if i am able to burn the project later on..without the video_ts folder.. that'd be great.. for when my dvds start getting scratched up.. all i have to do is burn em again quick.. instead of this whole prcess. Altho i suppose i could just rip em easily back off these new discs
you need the VIDEO_TS folder/contents to burn! remove it and you must start over (if you didnt burn a disc) also cheap dvdrs wont play/copy after a few months.
ok.. so on a saved, burned project you do stil need the original video_ts folder.. thats all i wondered.. i only have 30 gig hard drive.. thats why.. im always having to delete to free up room
Well i was confirming what you said.. but you still disagree, so sorry.. i think you dont understand what im saying... i have the dvd already burnt... but i also have the saved project.. ready to burn again at a moments notice... Now this saved, ready-to-burn .nrd file(the saved project), is what im talking about. Will it stil burn without the original video_ts folders on the computer? or does this .nrd file need the video_ts folder for reference?
sorry yes the film.NRG is all you need to burn off another copy... so yes delete working folder... --------------- also you can copy your copy (dvdr to dvdr) so no need to keep the film.NRG either. 1 nrg file isnt too much trouble but 200 takes some space. when if you have 200 dvdrs burnt you can go 1:1 copying.
.nrg.. cool.. my file is .nrD tho... are they the same? file.NRD under properties it says it is a dvd compilation it is 8.31KB in size
that sounds like the information file that tells the working folder to burn and how to burn (same as last time) you need the .nrg file, if its not there then you still need the working folder and the nrd is what you click to burn the the working folder, there is no image as such. the working folder is actually the image. ----------------- i always save as .nrg or iso, 1 single file - (folders/files wrapped up) by clicking your nrd it will probably load nero up and you'll see all settings for modification etc then click burn nrg/iso just go straight to burn stage, then click go/burn both ways very simarlar really, your way has a few files, mine has 1 file, but both do the same thing and are same size.
ahh so the .nrg is an img file basically.. 1 large file.. image of the disk/w directory of video_ts While my .nrd is just a project which points to the video_ts folder on the hard drive so i need the folder still.. well.. im gonna delete it.. no need to save it.. as the .nrg image would be similar in size as the video_ts folder anyways. None of this would be an issue if i had a larger hard drive.. heh
