Thanks for your input MD, I beg to differ though, I have created a number of DVD's this way and burned the VIDEO_TS folder as a data DVD using BurnIt.Now and my burn program that came with my Panasonic burner. I have however not used Nero.maddrummer3301 wrote:Hi,
You need to be careful NOT to create a DATA DVD using another software program to burn the dvd.
If you use NERO then start a new project and select DVD-VIDEO. Then in Nero you drag the video_ts folder into the video_ts folder in nero's compilation window.
A data dvd may play in the computer but not in a dvd player for the TV.
When you burn a DVD it needs top be burned as a "DVD-VIDEO" disk.
Also, in the output burning stage of MF click on the "Advanced" or "Options" to access additional burning features.
In that screen there is an option that says "Archive Pictures to CD/DVD".
If your project is very large you may want to uncheck that. The program by default backs up the pictures from the harddisk to a directory on the dvd.
That can cause the total size to exceed a single layered dvd.
I have an external firewire/usb combo harddisk that works well on my laptop. Adding one to your setup will make things much easier.
Hope this helps,
MD
Because the DVD is already authored and all VOB, IFO, BUP etc. files are created and contained in the Video_TS folder, why would you need to burn it again as a DVD video file? I certainly don't and it works.
