how to burn DVD's and what program to use?

[Fiddy Yen]

Just wondering if anyone would be able to tell me how to burn a dvd movie (and from mpeg) and let me know what program to use? thanks.

i currently have nero ultra 6.x and dvd shrink, so if possible using those programs but open to suggestions.

dvd shrink should work fine, if your running into problems, get your hands on AnyDVD. It just runs in the background so you can run DVDshrink without any problems.

Its what i use

[cityhunter2501]

dvd shrink is the cheapest (free) and easiest way to back up a dvd.
needs the latest AnyDVD software running in the background though for the latest dvd encryptions

If you have Nero you are set. I use Nero all the time.

If your backing up a dvd, DVD Shrink is the program to use.

If your burning a disc img file, I would use DVD Decrypter.

dvd shrink is good, look into alcohol 120 as well

DVD Shrink is getting old now, there is probably professional quality software out there you could find out about in these forums.

Best program currently is DVDFabDecryptor

THen if you need to shrink it to 1 4.7 gig disk, use DVDshrink.

Going from AVI to DVD is a problem.... I ahve tried a lot, and they seem to be buggy and really slow, and often fuck up the voice to video sync... I just tried AVI2DVD and though the quality is the best so far, it is frikkin slow (3 to 6 hours per movie!!), and knocks out my internet while its working

You should try VirtualDub to fix your sync problems, it can also process avi files.

I need to merge some video files with subtitle files so I can burn and watch on a regular dvd player. thank.

I use AVE-Mux Gui 1.17.5 (http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=AVIMux_GUI)
to extract the audio and then convert/burn using VSO ConvertXtoDVD (http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/). I haven't had any problems using these at all.

much appreciated.
thank you

i just use nero vision express
load the file whatever it is avi or mpeg and select a couple settings and hit burn it will encode it and burn it. A full movie takes about an hour to encode and burn.

i got a question for this topic....
i burnt a dvd, and when i played it in my dvd player it played good for like 15-20 minutes, and then it started skipping, i tried a different dvd(burnt) and it did the same thing

any thoughts? btw im using dvd-r

[2.4l]

dvdsanta works great for burning. nice and fast, good quality..
i use another conversion program because i get an error message with dvdsanta????? anyone know why?


one more question, most of my dvds work fine, but on one of them i got an error message on my home dvd player saying that the "area perimiters are too big and it cannot play"
does anyone know hoe to correct this???
