It just does not work...

[innvisit]

Well, where do I start? I need help.

What I need to do:
I've got some dvd-rams and some -rw discs with tv recordings on them.
I'd like to organize these and put them on simple +r discs, as I don't have an endless supply of re-writables.

I've got an asus 1608p2s drive.
The ulead movie factory 4 came with it, and the nero6.

As the nero6 afaik can't edit & export video files, I'm trying ulead. So far no success. I tired to install the patch - no success (wtf it says I dont' have ulead 4 - I even put it into the same directory, stupid patch).
Tried to d/l some other upgrade thing - no success.
Tried to export to wmv - no success. (only a 5 meg file result, no error msg)
Export to avi - no success. (conversion failed, check space and rights...) *!*!*. plenty of space, and it's a simple winxp home
Tried to email support - no answer.

So at this point I'm pretty pissed, it very much looks the program cannot do anything it's supposed to, and about nobody cares. But haven't totally given up yet.

The only thing I was able to achieve is to export the videos into mpg files - without sound. Then create a disc - without sound. Nice, but not good.

So if anybody succesfully managed this, can you guys please help me?

Or if you have a recommendation for a usable program which can acually do this imho simple thing I'm listening. I'm new to dvd editing/writing.
