Yeah, this is what confuses me the most. That is why i didn't tell Nero to continue anyway.

It is a video i downloaded from WinMx...a long time ago. i think it was from a dude in Italy, so i kind of wondered if maybe there were some kind of NTSC/PAL problems that i was missing, even though gspot says it is NTSC. Also, i've heard that gspot is sometimes wrong, but not sure of exactly what types of errors it makes, so i was hoping for some clairification on that end.

Thanks again to all.

well my intension is to use it as a video.
gnomebaker dosen't have a specific DVD-Video option
i figure i could just toss in the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders and burn it

i just winged it and burnt it as AAR said and it plays fine.
cool deal.

Hi everyone,

I have been burning all my dvd's with nero 6 and have never had problems until I started burning the DL's. My burner has the capability and Nero 6 appears to work, but the dvd's always come out choppy. They oftenly freeze while playing and sometimes will not ever get past the menu to even play (they will play stuck in the menu which will go back and forth from fuzzy to clear video). It's strange and I thought I'd ask here before I continue to try and solve the issue through testing and waste boatloads of moolah with each ruined dl dvd. I'm wondering if the software or media might be my problem. Does anyone have any reccomendations on other burning software to try? Is it as simple and straight forward to use as Nero?

Thanks in advance to all reading and/or responding to this!

The ones I have are Dynex. It could very well be the media. I have never tried any other brands.

[AAR.oner]

i'm guessing its the media...Dynex uses multiple manufacturers including AN, CMC, MKM, etc...some are known for decent quality discs, some are cheap crap...best to stick with a company such as TDK for DL media at this point.

here's a good resource for researching quality of CDR/DVDR brands and manufacturers:

you can also check brand comparisons at cdfreaks.com and videohelp.com

Whats up everyone. I just downloaded my first dvd, and I'm definitly trying to watch it. I can't get it to play in anything. There is a torrent folder and a few files, one ends w. NTSC-BTP. Just so u know its 11-16-1995 west palm beach show. Heard good things about it. I can trade it since this would be the first thing I have on this computer. Any help would be greatly apprecieated. peace :-)

I'm excited as hell to see phish on the screen from 95, i didn't get to see them until cypress and I'm missing them. I could use some help.

Call Trey....

He isn;t doing anything right now and has plenty of time to explain it all to you.

Or, try the "Technobabble" forum...

Well it dosen't look like I'll get it from you. So have a nice night, the information you provied me with is very useful. Can't thank you enough...
I don't see the point in taking the time to reply to someone just looking to get a quick question answered and not answering them.. seems pointless.. hopefully someone is cool enough to answer my question. Peace.

Technobabble, i'll look for that. thats useful.. thats dude....
