DVD Burning Problems?

[AAR.oner]

VLC is just a viewer, it doesn't burn DVDs...you'll need a burning program [such as Nero on PC, or Toast on Mac] to burn a DVD-Video...

what OS are you on? [windows, mac osx, etc]
what burning programs do you have/use to burn cds & dvds with?

[armstron]

thanks for the help with Nero. I *think* I have it figured out. I was using the "Nero Smart Start" icon that was put on my desktop. That is where the project creation screen gets in the way. Was able to find Nero Burning Rom thru the good 'ole start menu....

appreciate the quick responses.

Regards,
Craig

Okay... I have windows XP
To burn discs I have roxio DVD builder, I also have real audio.Windows etc.. Thanks for your help in advance..

if you have Roxio, i think you use the regular burning prog, *not* DVD Builder...the DVDs at this site have already been "built"...

i'm not familiar w/ Roxio's programs, but hopefully one of the other regulars around here will be able to help you with more specific details...

awesome. So I would just drag the downloaded movie into disc copier? put disc in cd rom and burn? also what kind of disc should I use so that it plays on my dvd player at home..
Thanks,
Josh

you'll need to burn the DVD show to a DVDR disc using yer DVD burner drive...a cd-rom drive can't burn dvdr's...also, some standalone DVD players will only play DVD-R, some DVD+R, and some both depending on make/model

It's only funny because it seems that everytime we bring it up...we get a flood of these type threads!

You guys have guides for everything else, yet you still get bombed with questions about it

[magillagorilla]

Or on ROXIO 7 choose Disc Copier. On Source choose the selection "Disc Image or DVD-Video Folder". Select the Video_TS folder that contains your DVD and press OK. Then you should be able to select your DVD burner as the target drive. Burn and done.

Im really sorry. Is there such a guide? Ill look for it.. Oh I use nero - the latest... Its just I have never worked with dvd burner before... and I have already fucked up some media while trying to do so...

I got it in VIDEO_TS folder. is it fine just to burn that one out in a dvd data mode? Im going to search somewhere...

[TheMamba]

micenzo, don't worry about it. Aar.oner has been working on a guide for a little while. Just a mod joke I guess. Anyhow, back to the matter at hand:

to burn a "watchable" copy [i.e. on yer home dvd player]:
--open Nero Burning ROM
--select "DVD-Video" as yer project type
--drag *all* of the files in the show's Video_TS folder [.ifo, .bup, & .vob files] to the RED Video_TS folder in the project window.
--burn

to burn a "data disc" [which is what you'll want to use for archiving & trading]:
--open Nero Burning ROM
--select "DVD-ROM [ISO/UDF]" as yer project type
--drag the entire show's folder to the project window [including the Video_TS folder, info text, the .md5 checksum, artwork, etc]
--burn
