buring dvd with Nero 8?

by odoyle_21 Jan 8, 2008 10:45AM PST

So I just bought Nero 8, planning to use it mostly for burning dvds, but I haven't been able to burn one correctly yet. When I add the files to Nero a note comes up stating the files I'm trying to add are not located in a video ts folder. Then it says to use Nero vision to create a dvd, so I try this, but it always freezes...

I was able to burn one dvd that is in avi format I believe, but the picture was terrible quality.

What's with this?? I thought Nero 8 is suppose to be straight froward and as easy can be?? I tried looking in the manuals and on their website, but I can't find anything. So here I am trying to figure this out on trusty CNet...

Doesn't Nero 8 do this as well? Shouldn't it?

menu and such...
by odoyle_21 Jan 9, 2008 10:36AM PST

What I am hoping for is to make a new copy of the dvd as it were initially. I just want the interactive menu with the movie... I asked about this months ago and someone recommended cdburnerxp or something like that. I'm beginning to believe that Nero 8 is not that beneficial at all...

To COPY a dvd...

use Nero express then "image, project. copy" then "copy entire dvd". Try that and see how it will come out.

Not trying to copy. DVD Flick isn't working either...
by odoyle_21 Jan 11, 2008 3:39AM PST

Thank you for the suggestion, however I am not trying to copy the DVD. I am trying to burn a dvd out of the files on my computer.

I tried DVD Flick and when trying to load the files it stated that they are not compatible with it.

Am I doing this wrong? When copying a dvd to my hard drive is there another file type I should be saving them as?? It seems like these Video_ts folders with all the files in them cannot be burned to dvd to make a pefect copy... Am I wrong?

"when copying dvd to my harddrive"?
by ahtoi Jan 11, 2008 11:30AM PST

Now I am confused! What "ripping" program are you using? Dvdshrink or what.

I use Neroultra 7 and I never have encounter any freezing problem.

I usually just use DVD Decrypter to rip.

I don't know what to do about that freezing bit, or if it'll create the dvd if it doesn't freeze. So I'm just trying to create the dvd out of the files I ripped.

There must be someone who uses Nero 8 that can tell me how they do it???

Does this affect performance, or does it matter at all...??
by odoyle_21 Jan 11, 2008 12:12PM PST

i noticed that I have a "Roxio DVD Rom Emulator SCSI cd rom device". I Had Roxio, but removed it and this "emulator" is still present. Would this affect anything?
