Re: Assistance please with burning a DVD

I use Nero express to burn video DVDs, mostly single layer, and it works great. When you see the messages at the beginning of the burn process, like "sorting files" and "caching files" it indicates what is going on. If you see the message "(no file modified)" then none of the .ifo or .bup files will be changed. Sometimes Nero will change these .ifo and .bup files (not the actual video data .vob files), so your burned copy won't match the original seed. I think I have noticed that Nero modifies files only when I burn dual layer discs, and not on all dual layer shows. I think I'm going to buy ONES ($25) burning software. It is cheaper than Nero ($80) and NEVER modifies a file. Also burning at a midrange speed (like 4X) results in a lower risk of major errors most of the time. With dual layer discs there will be a slight pause or hesitation at the layer change sometimes. I can't seem to access the site where ONES usually is: http://shop.tx-software.com/boutique...&code_lg=lg_us

Here is a free trial of ONES:
