I am a brand spankin newbie to Afterdawn.com: I am using Nero v6 and a double layer burner to back up multiple dvd movies to a dvd-r dl. I have 2 issues; 1 - As was suggested in an earlier message, I used the "Copy multiple dvd-video movies to one" function and cannot proceed past the message that my "demo version of the dvd-video plug-in has expired." Do I have to purchase a plug-in to proceed or is there some kind of work around? 2 - After backing up 2 movies to my HD, with DVD Shrink 3.2 (less than 8.0 GB combined), I try to use Nero's "Burn dvd-video files" function but receive the following message; "One or more files could not be added to a compilation. The following files may not reside in the VIDEO_TS directory of a DVD-Video compilation. Only compliant DVD-Video files... etc." I suspect that it does not like seeing identical files, eg. VIDEO_TS.BUP? Should I not even be trying to use this Nero function for my application or is there also some kind of work around? Please help!
Sounds like you have a crippled OEM Nero version, gotta pay for a full version. Go back to DVDShrink and combine both movies using reauthor mode. Saving as an ISO (choose 'No compression'). You could then try ImgBurn (free) to burn to a DL+R disc. http://imgburn.com/
