DVD Burning Problems?

[garback]

dvd9's are dual layer dvd's. you just need the capability to burn them and blank dual layer dvds and you should be all set. as to how to make them 2 regular dvd's(dvd5) i can't help you there

[LazyTaper]

It is best to keep them as DVD9s. You can split or shrink them with DVDshrink. Try google.

for trading purposes, i'm sure most traders and the authorer would appreciate you trading it in its original DVD9 format...if you have a DVD burner that supports DL burning, just buy some DL discs and burn using whatever prog you usually use [assuming it supports DL burning]...if not, burn as a data disc and put half of the files on one DVD5 disc, and the other half on a second disc

for personal watching, it doesn't matter if you want to burn as a DL [DVD9], split to 2 DVD5s, or shrink it down to 1 DVD5 using Popcorn [or DVD Shrink for PC]

Do you mean using Windows Explorer?

Just buy DVD-DL discs either + or - whichever you're burner burns. They will burn the same with Nero as your oyther DVDs. Nero will automatically recognize you have more space when you put a blank in the drive.

OK, I just got a DVD-R drive and the software it came with is NERO. I've tried burning two disks with the NERO Burning ROM SE software. My DVD player recognizes it as a DVD, but won't play anything. Can someone please help me and tell me how to burn the disk correctly?

Thanks,
Ike

-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

that looks right

maybe the title should be all caps

also you can try it in data mode, create your own empty AUDIO_TS and the VIDEO_TS as above, maybe that will work. you can also add EXTRAS_TS with the txt and artwork & checksums if you like

this always works for me

let us know how it goes for you

[Ike1519]

Thanks for the help. What my problem was that I tried to right it as a DVD-ROM, not a DVD-video.

What if Nero tells you your drive does not support DVD-9, can you update the drive firmware to make it compatible?

you need a dual layer DVD burner. they sell them here for $55 last time I checked. its not worth the time & effort to attempt dividing the shows for dvd5 burning. dual layer will also play in your standalone (so I've heard).

is there a way to burn dvd files that are already on your hard drive with decrypter? i have nero issues and need to fine another easy to use program to burn already authored files to dual layer discs.....
