I have some .mpg and .avi files i want to put onto DVD-R discs which i can then put in my DVD player and watch fine...also if its not to complicated is it complicated to make a title menu to select what i want to watch?
Any number of programs will do this. Here is a guide by alkohol for Nero that will do what you want:http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/272946. VSO ConvertXtoDVD is another great program for your avi but the trial does insert a watermark into your video: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/vso_convertxtodvd_guide.cfm. An authoring program, as well as Nero above, will also take your mpg and do this: TMPGEnc DVD Author, DVD Lab, Ulead MovieFactory (burns, too), etc. You will lose quality if you encode an mpg a second time. I also suggest you read the guides here at AD if you haven't already; they're excellent.
thanks...very useful guide by alkohol what would we do without him eh? thanks again i'll be trying it soon hopefully thanks just another quick question...does it have to be high quality media like Verbatim or TY to work successfully or will a normal disc run fine?
I only ever use TY or Verbatim and I'm not a media guru, so I can't answer that. I did use TDK in the past with no problems. Just keep your burns at 4x -6x and you should be fine although you should switch to higher class media. The only media I could name off the top of my head not to use would be Memorex.
Actually, I'm also unsure if Nero supports mpg without encoding it again. Maybe it's just Video_TS. You better check into that.
Will do was thinking of properly using that ConvertXtoDVD looks like its my best option for the files i got at the moment... thanks again for the info
