I'm in the process of converting several VHS tapes to DVD and have created multiple projects. Is there any reason that creating multiple video files and then adding them to the disc will create a problem? (I have had a ton of issues and am doing my best to follow the procedures exactly).
Also, I am having some issues with VS recognizing that my DVD has a writable disk. Is there any issue with creating an image (dvd.iso) and having my DVD burner software write that image?
I've had several unsuccessful attempts that result in corrupt data on the DVD (however, I was not following the procedures outlined here).
One other question...what is the difference between "Frame Based" and "Lower Field First"?

Hi
From each project you can create a video file. No problems.
Keep the properties the same for each.
The bit rate should be adjusted to reflect the total time on the final disc.
Keep this the same for each video file.
i.e. for four video files at 30 minutes long(120 minutes in total) the bit rate should be approx 4000kbps.
You can add the four videos to the burner module which will make 4 menu’s one for each.
----------------------------------
Recognising your Dvd-rw is probably a burner issue not Video Studio.
Check your disc and burner compatibility.
----------------------------------
I do not know of any problems creating an .iso file and using other software to burn.
Others on the forum may have other ideas.
---------------------------------
Basically:-
When viewing on a tv the video is interlaced, each frame being transmitted in two half frames and then put together, this is interlacing.
The order in which the half frames are viewed is either upper or lower field first.
When your source video is digital lower field first is always used.
When your source video is analogue upper field is usually used.
Frame based is not interlaced and is used when you are viewing your video on a pc screen only.
Hope this helps
