When you say, "open it in Nero", what exactly are you trying to do, with what part of Nero? If it's Nero Burning Rom, you can simply choose the DVD Video template, drag and drop the VIDEO_TS folder from right to left, and burn it. You do not need to open it in Nerovision or any other thing.
Don't use smartstart. Open Nero burning rom, select DVD Video from the templates listed, drag VIDEO_TS folder from right to left, burn. If you get an error, go to nero.com and update your nero.
