Ok so i have a DVD Rom and a DVD Burner. Two seperate drives.
I have a movie on my computer that I would like to put onto a DVD R.
But i dont know how.
I have nero... but i havent tried anything right yet.
give me steps or a better program. I heard there is something about like transcoding or something like that.
Please help me.
If you want the movie to play off the dvd-r when you put it in a dvd player like a normal dvd, it needs to be converted ("transcoded") into mpeg form and authored with an authoring app. A copying program like nero just moves the file to your disc like any other media. It won't author it like a dvd.
I'm not familiar with consumer-grade authoring apps, though.
DVDShrink is a free program. It reads the DVD and writes an image to your hard-drive. You can then use Nero to burn this image onto the DVD.
Most movies are double-layer so they wouldn't copy to a normal DVD-R anyway. DVDShrink also compresses so the resulting movie will fit on a single DVD (with a slight quality loss).
He has a movie on his computer that he wants to put on a standard-play DVD. Not make a dupe of an existing DVD movie.
Oops, this confused meIn my nero I have a DVD-video option. It pops up a window that has two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. It says to copy video files into the VIDEO_TS directory. I've never tried it, but good luck.Quote:

If you scrap CCE and go with QuEnc instead its totally free. There is a loss of quality - for the DVD I burned you can see some pixelation at some points during the movie, but the overall quality is not bad. I dunno about any other way, but this way involves converting the file (in some way, shape or form I don't entirely understand) which takes around 12 hours or so. Once its all converted use old Nero and burn it to a DVD-R.
I'd be interested to know how long ULead DVD Moviefactory takes to burn a DVD...
how logn does it take for QuENC to make it a mpegQuote:

From the method I linked to, the first step (DVD Decrypter) is quick - around 10 min or so. The converting part (don't know specifically which program it uses) takes the 12 hours. The burning with Nero is quick too. Hope this helps...Quote:
