Im using xilisoft tools to convert an avi file to .VOB and then using nero to burn the .VOB straight onto a dvd-r. I have done this before with another avi file, but im not sure if it was dvd+r. Should I be trying a +R or am i possibly encoding and/or burning something the wrong way?
Do you have Audio_TS and Video_TS files or just .vob files. If you do then try it in a DVD player to see if it works. If it works on a DVD player then try a diffrent brand of DVD-R discs because PS2 can be picky about the DVD-R disc brand
well when i converted it, it converted to audio / video ts files but i did not understand exactly how to burn that.. do i burn bother directories to a cd? or just the files in them?
Burn as a Data DvD using nero. Just put both the Audio_TS and Video_TS into the Dvd directory. PS:Ignore any error messages you might get about .vob relocation or something like that
From my experience it is always empty so no worries. If you have trouble burning it like that try using this guide. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/burning_dvd_with_nero.cfm
