video files to dvd... how?

i wanted to take my dvd files and put them on dvd. so it seems simple,(after shrinking the video) i put my files on nero (or another editing program) and burnt it. BUT IT WON'T WORK! So i went from my first dvd (TDK dvd-r) to my next dvd (Memorex dvd+r). Can i get another dvd to work or what is wrong! help please
-thanx

 

What are the formats of the dvd files (e.g. mpeg, avi, video_ts folder)?

 

my format is avi.

 

Also (I forgot to write this in the other message) I have my file on a editing program called "Showbiz". I tried to burn my disc images (with a format called sbz). But my media will not show up.

 

Let's focus on the avis first. If you just want to burn them to dvd, try convert them into dvd compliant format with VSO DivxToDVD (free version), then burn with e.g. Nero Recode:

You can add more than one avis at a time (just keep adding before hitting 'convert').

Good luck!

Dear lillindz,

You could also try the method I suggested in the earlier post.

thanks it worked now what software can i use to burn movies to cd-r

 

1) What is the format of the movie (e.g. mpeg, avi, video_ts folder)?

2) Are you sure it's cd-r but not dvd?

 

its a avi i know how to put it on acd but how do split inhalf to put it to two discs

 

A simple way would be to use Nero Vision Express. If you need to split the avi because of file size, you may use e.g. Power Video Converter or Advanced X Video Converter.

Good luck!
