DVD Burning Problems?

[thsea]

I've downloaded both the Phish 20th Ann setbreak video and Sunshine Daydream , but when I preview them with my burning software (roxio) I get no sound.
I'm clueless so any help would be appreciated....thanks.

i'ma bit unclear as to which Nero "program" yer using...sounds like Nero Vision maybe?? also, are you starting off with Nero's Start Smart interface, if so DON"T...

just open ***Nero Burning ROM*** from yer start > programs list...there should be no "menu customization" window or anything popping...select DVD-Video when Burning ROM first starts up, and then drag *all of the files inside* the show's VIDEO_TS folder over to the *Red* VIDEO_TS folder in the projects window...

as for PAL/NTSC mix, i've never come across a show like that, so i'm at a loss as to how Nero handles this.

sorry if i'm misunderstanding...hope this helps...let us know

is there sound when you watch thru a DVD viewer [VLC, PowerDVD, etc.]?

sometimes, my burning program's viewer has "issues"...

try it thru VLC [ http://www.videolan.org/ ] first or another DVD viewer and let us know.

I burned it and it came out fine. I guess it was just a Roxio preview issue.
Lets hope Sunshine Daydream goes just as well....

THANKS

It does. I am using nero6 reloaded. I will open burning rom rather than smart start and open folder and drag files rather than drag folder............thanks

That works, thankyou. What is the issue with smart start ??

[AAR.oner]

smart start's not user-specific enough...i ALWAYS use Burning ROM, be it CD or DVD...

for DVD's, use the "DVD-Video" format for a watchable disc, and "DVD-ROM (ISO/UDF)" for archiving/trading [also referred to as a "data disc" -- this allows you to keep all the files: checksums, info texts, etc]

for CD its the same--Audio CD for a listenable copy and "CD-ROM (UDF/ISO)" for a data disc

[feralicious]

If your standalone DVD player can play a DVD burned as data you can save yourself from burning the video DVD. Just keep the extra stuff outside the VIDEO_TS folder. Since mine does I never burn video DVDs.

I have to throw that in Aaron.

[AAR.oner]

true fera...i always forget that since mine won't...i think it'll play em if the extra files are in a EXTRAS_TS folder...i need recheck...i still usually burn a "watching copy" and an "archival/trading copy" cuz otherwise all my shows would be scratched...

so, yeah alg--you can try burning a show with Burning ROM as a "DVD-ROM (ISO)" with the info/checksums *outside* of the VIDEO_TS folder and see if yer player will play it...

I knew this has probably been covered, but I am new on a mac, and I am trying to burn a video dvd. I have Toast Titanium, and when I go to the VIDEO tab and add the VIDEO_TS folder from my hard drive it says "4 Files Are In An Unsupported Format And Cannot Be Imported"



Any help/ideas?

If you're using Toast 7, you need to have the "DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS" checked and NOT "DVD-Video". Drag the entire VIDEO_TS folder into the window. Alternatively you can go to Data > DVD-ROM(UDF). For that option you need to add an AUDIO_TS folder. If you use the Video menu you don't have to worry about it.
