Ok guys....I looked on here and couldn't find anything specific on how to burn vid files to dvds, so I'm breaking down and asking you. I've been trying for the last 2 hours, too, and can't figure it out.
I'm using Nero 7 Ultra Edition to burn stuff with. I tried using NeroVision, but it wouldn't let me "insert" the files that I wanted to burn into the queue of stuff that was to be burned. It just kept popping up an error message saying that it couldn't do it.
I also tried making images using PowerISO and then using NeroROM to burn the images on a dvd, but it burned it as an image data file and not as a playable video that you could play on a dvd-rom/dvd player/etc. I cannot figure out how to do this... I know how to burn images of cds (music) using NeroROM, so i figured that this was pretty much the same thing, but I'm stuck. How in the hell do I burn video files off of my computer onto a dvd where i can watch the vid/dvd on a dvd-rom drive or dvd player? I've literally run out of ideas and need the knowledge of ADT to show me the way..... Many thanks in advance.

Well the problem is all the video files you have need to be made into DVD format.
A DVD will be made up .VOB files along with some .IFO files and some .BUP (I think that's the file name, it's been a while). Without those, your DVD won't be seen as a DVD. The best you could do is burn it as a DivX/MPEG and hope your DVD player plays that format, and from the sounds of it, it does not.
Could look [invalid URL removed]here for some help. More specifically you may find help [invalid URL removed]here
Rest assure this probably won't be a one click deal, but it may be - I didn't read the articles
"The universe is hostile, So impersonal. Devour to survive." - Tool
What kind of files were you trying to convert that Nero Vision didn't like. It appears that is has a pretty good range of file types that it is able to convert.
Here's a [invalid URL removed]basic tutorial on Nero Vision. It specifically talks about converting .avi files. But, I don't think that the file type should matter, as long as it's one that is supported by Vision. You can see what Vision supports by going into "Make a DVD/DVD Video" and then clicking on Add Video Files. Clicking on "Files of Type" should show you all supported file types.
ok. i double-checked and that what i was doing yesterday. it'll let me get up to the part where you add the files, but when i choose the file to put on the Dvd Project, it says: "Unable to insert [file name]" and doesn't say why. I tried with avi's and mpg's. Slightly aggrevating. any ideas?
I haven't tried playing with Nero Vision yet. So, I have no suggestions other than to look at the tutorial to see if you are doing anything different than they show.
How about getting a dvd player that supports Mpg and divx playback, that way all you need to do , is burn the mpg and divx (avi) files as a Data dvd and play them on your dvd player.
Nero is a wonderful program. It is also a fucking nightmare with no possibility of ever getting any tech support.
I am a very experienced Nero user. I completely uninstalled Nero 7 and went back to Nero 6 because Nero 7 just doesn't work right... particularly NeroVision4 (part of the Nero 7.5.1.1 package).
I have always found that installing the NeroVision extra content, no matter which version I've had, screws up the program's operation.
I am back to running Nero 6.3.1.20 and NeroVisionExpress 2.1.2.18 (these were the two package bundles that made up Nero 6 in August 2004).
Fortunately, I've saved every version I've ever downloaded. You are unable to download older versions from Nero as far as I've seen. Also, your Nero 7 serial # would not work with Nero 6 anyway.
I do know that Nero 7 only gives you a trial version of some of the codecs it can work with. Depending on what you are trying to do, this may/may not come into play.
Also, Nero (the program) HATES Roxio. If you have Roxio's AV suite (e.g. Easy Media Creator 9) also installed on your computer, you will get behaviors (including not working).
As has been said earlier, NeroVision understands most file types. Can you tell us the files types of the files that are giving you problems?

There is a free DivX player available on the net and it will convert most video files to DivX. The burner software is free too. You do have to have a DVD burner on your computer and buy the blank discs. Buy a DVD standalone player that can play DivX and watch it on your big screen. It's free. Many porn companies will allow you to download porn movies via DivX for a fee so you can burn them in the privacy of your own home.
Hey everybody. I got it working. I had to reinstall it a bunch of times but it's working now, so it's cool. I converted a drum mpg and it did it to the dvd files - the .vobs and all that stuff. I double checked and my computer recognized it as a dvd. haha....i started the dvd and had it up really loud and my dog heard it and freaked and thought it was thunder. quite funny.
Thanks again for the help everybody. I really do appreciate it.

I agree. I find Nero 7.014 cumbersome, and if, say, you want to burn Super VCDs with it, they ask you for extra money.
I use, interchangeably, Nero 6.601, Nero 6.3125, and a Nero 6.xxx version that came supplied with my DVD burner. I have found that each version has advantages and disadvantages.
It is rather frustrating that Nero can't (or refuse to) get their act together and make one all-encompassing version that supports all the technologies their older versions did.
So far I have bought all films on DVD. I don't know if it will be worthwhile to invest in a PC with download abilities and DVD burner. Do films burned down from the internet really look as good as purchased DVDs? The streamers I have seen look quite fuzzy.
Thanks. That is a useful thread. But couldn't find anything about picture quality there.

You can select picture quality in nero, sometimes it means having to burn movies in 2 parts to seperate discs for the best quality. Otherwise you can select level of compression.
Thanks. These things are really technical and abstract. Is "nero" an official option displayed on download webpages to select for DVD picture quality? Or otherwise what level of compression is equivalent to DVD?

There seems to be a bit of breakdown in communication here, it is probably my fault . Nero is a program used for burning video files to DVD and doing other useful things like changing their sizes. And their formats. Also another program I like a lot is called "Total Video Converter", I think it has a demo and the full version is 5-10 bucks but I think it is worth it. When they say "total" they mean it. Edited by - conquistador on 12/12/2007 8:29:11 AM
Nero is a suite of audio/video/data applications for creating and burning CDs and DVDs. Nero homepage Nero will work with the full version of files (i.e. adding no compression at all to the original file) unless you ask it to. Example (DVD video): A single-layer DVD will hold up to 4459 MBs of information (about 4.38 GB). This is the space available to be used after formatting, etc. If what you are trying to burn onto the DVD exceeds 4459 MBs, Nero will allow you to compress the files (reduce quality) until they can fit onto the disk... Or, Nero will also allow you to trim your project (i.e. burn less) to fit on the disk so that you don't have to reduce quality. When you burn a video DVD (specifically using the NeroVision application included in the suite), Nero automatically converts the original files into DVD standard movie files so that they be read by DVD players and played as DVDs. This does not change the quality of the original file. However, if you take a downloaded video clip that normally plays in a 3" window on your computer and blow it up to fill out the entire screen, it will usually look like shit. A standard DVD has a resolution of 720 x 480. This is going to be your image size regardless of what bit-rate (i.e. quality) you use. The higher the bit-rate, the better the resulting image. Typically, what you are going to download from the Internet is of a much lower bit-rate than what you will find on a factory DVD. This is to create manageable file sizes for downloading. Even if you have a high-speed connection, 4.38 GBs of information (a full single-layer DVD) would take far too long to be downloaded! Using VHS modes as comparisons, these are your typical bit-rates: 1-hour HQ 9716 kbps 2-hour SP 5073 kbps <<< this is your standard for normal NTSC equipment at their full capability 3-hour LP 3382 kbps 4-hour EP 2537 kbps 6-hour SLP 1691 kbps NeroVision also allows you to choose "custom" as a bit-rate. Custom allows you to determine what percentage of the original quality you want to allow you to fit the video file onto the media/space available. So, a movie that is 5000 MB in size would need to be reduced at 89.1% to fit onto a single-layer DVD with 4459 MB of available capacity. REMEMBER... Regardless of the bit-rate (quality) you have as your original, it will be shown at 720 x 480 once burned as a video DVD movie. So, originals with bit-rates of less than 5073 kbps will look progressively inferior when shown full-screen as a DVD movie. (This, among other reasons, is why 4-hour comps look like shit :)
Thanks for help! I will use this page as reference once I get started. I am planning to buy this [ invalid url ], and if its programs can't handle the download to DVD quality on its own, I'll get the Nero or "Total Video Converter" (if the computor will accept it! Some computors don't accept new added programs I have been told.) Edited by - fredrikka on 12/13/2007 5:17:33 AM
I agree. I hate Nero. Unfortunately, it seems to be the best solution for a program that does just about everything. The user interface is full of bad translations from some other language into English. Just about every operation has some nonsensical name. Once you figure out what it is and memorize it, you're OK but it's just clunky. And it's incredibly fussy about EVERYTHING. I hate using it.
Every computer, with an Internet connection, can download files. Nero (and other programs) is the software needed to burn the files to the CD or DVD. Most computers today come with something that can burn files to CDs and/or DVDs. BUT, with Nero, we are also talking about the ability to create and edit material into a movie and burn it as a video DVD (which seems to be what you want and need). See what comes with your computer before buying additional software seems to be a good idea. Product specs say that your new computer comes with "Includes Sony Click to DVD (for easy DVD creation)," which may do what you want.
This is a little off topic, but I didn't want to start a new thread for it: I person from Romania has offered me a Sony Vaio AR690U a very reasonable price. He is very eager, and I don't know if I can trust him. He also says that the AR690U, which is a US market laptop, in addition to the US plug also has an European 220 Volt plug. Could that be true? Does this following offer sound trustworthy to you guys? "the Sony AR690U Laptop is brand new in box,,Full accessories with 1 year Full warranty also available in Sweden. I bought it 1 week ago from www.altex.ro ( export divisionary department ) from my country(Romania) that exported plasma & notebooks to Europe+Canada that went bankrupt and i`ve got a great deal in buying it and a couple of other products.
I think 1300$ including shipping taxes and insurance is a resonable price for it because it has US software( Plug) on it and i can't use it in Romania and also it stays without a reason in my deposit and i want to sell it quick . total price of the unit will be: 1300$ including shipping taxes and insurance to Sweden,Paypal is not available in Romania that's why i agreed to proceed this way:
We shall proceed this way:
1: To complete this transaction, please email me your full name,your phone number and address where you want me to ship the package. 2 : First of all : I wanna tell you that everything is completed and ready to be shipped.Secondly : The shipping will be made using an licensed and trusted company (i used their services before with fully success).The package will be insured and You will receive the product in 2-3 Business Days.INSURANCE : The package will be insured at the delivery service for the amount of 1300$. I will arrange the shipment and i will give you the tracking number to track the package successfully on shipping company site( DHL or an international shipper) 3: PAYMENT : After you successfully verified the status of the shipment i will choose a quick and easy service for the payment process:Money Order . 4: RETURN POLICY : As soon as the package arrives, you will test the product and if it does NOT matches 100% to your expectations, you will return it in max. 5 days since the arrival date. In this case I will send you the full amount back and you will send me the product in the original box and you will pay the return shipping and insurance.
As soon as I have the requested details above I will complete the transaction.
Along with the Tracking Info I will give you my full details : Name/Address/Phone Number/etc. Looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible.
Regards Mihai
PS: you can arrange the payment with your credit card over the phone anytime, if you want to buy it mail me asap your full name ,address and your cell phone number at i can reach you anytime so i can ship it EXpress today for you before 10 o'clock PM."
I WOULD NEVER BUY A USED COMPUTER FROM A PRIVATE PARTY VIA THE INTERNET!!! Why would someone in Romania have a "US market laptop"? New in a box, no less? IF you got anything at all -- after your money and identity have been stolen -- it would be a used stolen laptop! DON'T EVEN CONSIDER IT!
Thanks for the advice. The whole deal felt very fishy to me too. Actually it was an auction. I was considering to offer him payment with Money Order after I received the laptop, but apparently the auction closed ahead of set time. Edited by - fredrikka on 12/14/2007 3:51:19 AM
Will BluRay discs used in a BluRay read/write drive, be able to burn down films in lower resolution than HD (like DVD quality)? And store 5 times the length of film compared to a DVD disc? Or are BluRay discs only for HD material? Edited by - fredrikka on 12/18/2007 5:43:49 AM
Which is the most reliable and best picture-quality website for downloading scenes from official market DVDs? (I mean scenes already available on DVDs. I would be good to download just a single scene, if the others on the DVD aren't interesting.)

I realize I am a little late with this but here is a link: Total Video Converter. To answer fredrikkas most recent question: I don't have much experience with this as I mostly rent stuff I want to see. You might want to check out a site called "American Vice" here is a link. They appear to offer what you are looking for and a have a deal where you can get 5 free scenes to try the service before you sign up. I looked through their catalog, which isn't huge, but you can indeed download single scenes from them.
On iafd.com you can look up a movie, then click "Show Me The Vendors" link. Available formats of the movie will be listed, categorized by Download/VOD/rent/dvd/vhs/etc. You are interested in Download and VOD categories. I have only browsed (never purchased) these various vendor sites. My early impression is that "download to own" option is available only for entire DVD (and the price is ony $1-$2 cheaper than actual dvd). The streaming video (pay per minute) and "download to rent" (download with 1wk or 1month restriction) options are offered for 1scene purchase. Most sites I've seen do a poor job of describing the individual scenes, only showing 1 picture and no words or performer names. So...you have to be familiar with the dvd to know what scene to buy.
Thank you for the tips. The actual cost on download sites seem a little confusing. Sometimes it says weekly or monthly cost; but I don't know what that actually means and what you get for it. Do you have to pay extra charges on top of that, depending how much you download? On other sites it only says "pay per minute". But most important, will a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc acually play on your DVD-player for the TV after you have burned it? In the manual to my DVD-player it says that the player may, or may not, play DVD-R/DVD-RW, depending on the adjustment of the PC software, and if the particular brand of DVD-R/DVD-RW is compatible or not. So what kind of DVD-R/DVD-RW should be used? Edited by - fredrikka on 1/8/2008 1:15:43 PM

I think you ought to do some testing to determine this. I have had DVD players that were happy to play files that I burned and ones that never would. It takes some experimentation.
The "pay per minute" refers to streaming video. If you pay for 30minutes, then you watch 30minutes, end of deal. If you want to see more, then you pay more. The 1week plan is a different thing, not related to pay per minute. In the case of 1week streaming video, you can go to the site and watch the video on your computer as many times as you want, but permission expires after 1week. There is also a 1week download method where you download a movie/clip to your computer (no streaming), but still there is a time limit after which you viewing ability expires. None of these 3 methods can be (legally nor easily) made into a disc for your standalone DVD player.

Hmm... I thought that all pics or movies downloaded to the computor's hard drive could be burned onto a DVD-R/DVD-RW disc. And if the burned DVD-R/DVD-RW disc can be played, or not, on the standalone DVD player depends on the computor's software adjustment and disc compatibility. Perhaps you mean that these 3 methods has some special coding system that makes them impossible to transfer onto a DVD-R/DVD-RW? Although I find it hard to understand how that would work when the images have already been downloaded into the computor. Edited by - fredrikka on 1/10/2008 3:55:27 AM

I think ninja may have been talking more about the legality of copying files obtained in the 3 methods he mentioned.The legal part I agree with but saying that it would be difficult to put the stuff on a disc needs a better explanation. I am curious about why said files would be any more difficult to burn onto a playable disc then a personal home movie for instance.
For the same reason(s) they become unwatchable on your computer after your membership period expires. FYI, DVD-R is going to be -- by far -- the most compatible format DVD media to burn a DVD video to watch on most set-top DVD players. The older the player, the more significant this becomes. Remember, we're talking about video edited and burned as a movie to DVD, not simply burning files to disk.
In the first 2 methods I described, the movie is delivered by streaming video. Which means you are viewing it as it is being sent...it isn't going to the HD, except for temporary buffering to help it play more smoothly. When you're finished viewing, there is no file on the HD. There are ways to capture and save the stream to HD, but it involves additional software. Extra workaround software and extra effort to trick the normal process doesn't count as easy to me. The 3rd method I described does downlod the file onto HD. But it uses DRM (Digital Rights Management) to restrict your viewing time to 1wk or whatever duration you pay for. DRM also prevents you from copying/viewing file to another computer. I don't know the technical details of how they do it, and sure there are ways around it. But it undoubtedly involves some tricks or softwares or some other "not easy" things.

It's simple. The idea is known as "analog hole". If you can watch or listen to something you can also reproduce it.
In this discussion, my definition of easy/simple is 1) Download file 2) Copy (same) file to DVD disc 3) Load disc into standalone DVD player 4) Watch video on TV screen
One site offer the following resolutions: 96 hex 540 3000Mbps WMV - 64 hex 480 1500Kbps WMV - 32 hex 240 750Kbps MPEG. Can a DVD-R/-RW actually take 96 hex 540 high resolution? Maximum for DVD is supposed to be 720×480 (NTSC) or 720×576 (PAL).

You probably want to select a resolution that will go with whatever television/player you are using. The higher resolutions are for folks who are going to be watching the movies on their computers. For example There are 3 monitors on my desk right now, 2 of them are at 160 hex 1200 and the 3rd is 128 hex 1024. The actual disc can contain any sort of file you feel like writing to it, the resolution isn't an issue, whether it will play and look good on a stand alone player (as opposed to a computer) is an entirely different story. I don't have any idea how these things scale or work with DVD players because I only ever use my computer for that stuff and never run into any issues. I'm sure someone else will have a better answer for you but for now I will suggest trial and error. Also you might want to take a spin around this site as well as a quick look at their forums.
Thanks conquistador. Yes, some trial and error will be necessary. Can't plan out everything in the head beforehand. Your last post took a little time for me to take in. So! DVD-R discs can actually handle HD-resolution material! Burn and then play on the PC. I thought it required HD or BluRay to handle so much data every second. But apparantly DVD-R can also play such high resolution material (of course not as many minutes can fit onto the disc as onto a HD- or BluRay-disc). Then they will probably also, besides on the PC, play well on HD- BluRay-players and HDTV screens. Amazing.

I didn't say all that. I hope you got most of that information from my link. All I wanted to say is that you can burn whatever files you wanted to whatever medium you wanted but getting them to play back on different equipment was a different story. In order to be played on a standard DVD player as opposed to a computer discs still have to be authored in a specific way. I didn't say anything about HD or BluRay discs because I know absolutely nothing about them. I was just trying to explain why websites were offering resolutions that didn't seem like normal standard television resolutions.
I didn't think that a DVD-player can play a DVD-R disc with HD resolution material on it. That a HD- or BluRay-player can play such a disc was my own deduction (and wishful thinking), since they can play DVD-R and also handle HD material. It seemed logical to me.

Converting .WMV files to DVD disc to watch on your standalone DVD Player is easy. There is a free program that does it too so I hope this hits Nero right where it counts. It also converts .AVI and some of the other formats too. Unfortunately it doesn't do RM or RMVB files. It converts to MPEG-2. The program is called DVD Flick and it's free. IMHO, donating a few bananas to the developers is always a good practice. It makes them feel like people appreciate their efforts. I've used it many times and it's a bit slow so I've discovered that running the program when I'm away at work or sleeping is the most effective way to proceed. Also, it wants about 10G of hard drive space so bear that in mind. It takes about 9 hours to convert and burn a disc. I won't put a link here but google DVD Flick and you find it fast. It will shut itself off after burning if you select that check box and you come home or wake up to a freshly burned disc. Kinda cool. Remember to delete the file(s) when it's done since it takes up lots of space on your hard drive. You can tell it to delete the ISO file when it's burned the disc but it will leave the converted files on your hard drive, those need to be deleted. I usally delete the source file too since I now have it on DVD and now my hard drive free space is larger than it was before I began. It's easy to use and simple to configure. It uses ImageBurn which will burn any format to disc, DVD Flick does the conversion to ISO and then ImageBurn does the rest. I've used ImageBurn by itself a few times and it's free too. It's a nice program to backup discs. Give DVD Flick/ImageBurn a try. I'm glad I found it.
Remember this: 1-hour HQ 9716 kbps <<< this is your best quality available for standard DVD movie format 2-hour SP 5073 kbps <<< this is your standard for normal NTSC equipment at their full capability 3-hour LP 3382 kbps 4-hour EP 2537 kbps 6-hour SLP 1691 kbps I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the best resolution that a standard DVD player can read/play is going to be the "HQ" quality listed above. A DVD-R (or any standard DVD for that matter) can be used to back-up ANY type of files -- including HD and Blu-ray files. But, PLEASE NOTE, I just said "files" and NOT "movies." When you burn a "movie" to DVD-R (or any other standard DVD format disk), the maximum resolution you can achieve can NOT exceed that which the standard DVD movie format is capable of. And, more importantly, that can be read and played back on a standard DVD player. Cutting to the chase... I generally want the highest resolution available to be downloaded -- if it makes sense. Your "96 hex 540 3000Mbps WMV" makes sense to me, because I can view superior video on a computer, AND, if I choose to burn a standard DVD with it, your DVD movie-authoring software will automatically convert it to a "DVD legal" movie (at any one of the available DVD resolutions I listed above... which come from Nero 6 by the way). Unless you are going to buy an HD or Blu-ray player, connect it to a high-definition TV and purchase a computer and software cpable of authoring HD or Blu-ray disks, this entire thread is a waste of everyone's time. I don't even know if HD/Blu-ray blank media are even available yet? You are NOT going to be able to download anything remotely approaching HD/Blu-ray resolution (and quality) via the Internet. The files are so much larger than the current technology will transfer in any useful way (start thinking in terms of multi-hour downloads for a single scene). Not that it couldn't be done... it just makes NO SENSE to anyone. Even high-quality downloads of scenes, etc. that were originally released on DVD have been DRASTICALLY compressed in order to make them viable as Internet downloads. The quality you get out of a 100-300 MB download vs. the 4-7 GB found on a standard DVD movie just doesn't stand up to scrutiny! So, what is it that you are really wanting to be able to do?
The time it takes to download should depend upon what processor you have. The larger the faster. And on the size of the RAM memory. I am shopping for a new PC, and am trying to decide whether it will be one with DVD-drive only, or a much more expensive with BluRay-drive. If I buy one with BluRay I want to be able to use it as BluRay-player for a HDTV as well, but so far I haven't seen one good enough with remote control included. If the DVD-R disc can handle HD-material, at least on the PC, then I can wait a little longer for BluRay.

Downloading speed it entirely dependent on how fast your internet connection is. Unless you had a T1 at your house I doubt it would be at all practical to try to download bluray sized movies. How modems work
NO. It has almost nothing to do with it. (see what conquistador wrote) I will tell you this, however, if you ever try to edit and author HD once you have it on your computer, you better have at least 4 GB of RAM, two 320 GB or larger internal hard-drives (with your "C" Drive being separate from the drive storing the HD files), the fastest top-of-the-line processor you can find and the most expensive high-end videocard with no less than 256 MB of dedicated video memory... or you will be completely wasting your time and be unable to produce anything in HD that you will be remotely satisfied with.

I don't know anything about ATI cards but if you are an nVidia user you'll need to buy nVidia PureVideo as well as buying (or maybe you already have it) a geForce 7xxx or 8xxx series card to display bluray or HD video. "NVIDIA PureVideo HD Available on select NVIDIA® GeForce® 7 and 8 series and NVIDIA Quadro® GPUs, Purevideo HD is a superset of the PureVideo functionality that is essential for the ultimate Blu-ray and HD DVD movie experience on a Desktop PC or notebook computer. "
