Re: Just finshed downloading first show: Questions!

1. Nero is fine.

2. DVDs that you download are exactly the same as the original movie. This trips up some people new to this so don't feel bad. Unlike audio cds that get downloaded as .flac and which you need to convert to .wav prior to creating your audio CD, the video_ts folder and its files that you download for a DVD bootleg is exactly what gets burned to make the DVD video. So just start a Nero DVD-Video project and toss the contents of your downloaded VIDEO_TS folder (i.e. those .vob files, etc.) into Nero.

3. Nero Cover designer is great, although a bit tricky (make sure you only check the items you want to print when doing a audio cd-cover project for instance).

4. DVD are already compressed (MPEG-2), so there's no point to compression, plus you can't change the files w/o screwing up your seed. The .torrent file in there with the files you downloaded is "telling" all the people leeching off of you to look for the files, folders, names, dates, etc. to be the exact same as what you downloaded. Make sense?
