    Hey!

    I'm having major troubles with getting a wmv file onto a DVD disk. I own a external Philips DVD burner.

    Im using Nero Vision Express 3 3.1.0.25
    &
    Nero Burning Rom 6 -SE
    6.6.01.4H

    I'm using a DVD-RW disk - Heres my problem..

    I go to tap DVD and pick "Make a video CD"

    A window pops up, letting me add the file I want to add (wmv)
    It add the file and I hit burn.

    It encodes the video (takes forever!)

    and then, I get a pop- up saying..

    Bare with me! I'm a newbie to burning softwear, etc etc.

    Thanks a million!

    ps: I'm needing this DVD burned and on a disk as soon as possible. Its a wedding video, and the entire family is only home for the next few days. Not wanting to cram around a comp. to watch it, way rather watch it on the TV.


    Anything helps!

    Hi oneway911

    Since you're picking make a video cd you'll need to use a cd instead of a dvd. That's why you're getting that pop up.

    Use the make your own dvd-video option. This will open Vision and transcode .wmv to a dvd compliant video that should play on your dvd player.

    No worries :)

    Try this - under applications in Nero SmartStart pick NeroVision Express. Then pick Make DVD>DVD-Video.

    Have the external burner hooked up and on.
