Thanks to all the help on this site, I am now 1 step away from completing my 1st DVD+R. I realize that this will seem VERY BASIC to everyone, but here it goes:
I have followed the guides & advice from this site. I have my MPEG2 all ready to go (having used Virtualdub and TMPGEnc). For my 1st DVD, I would really just like to burn this MPEG2 to the DVD+R. I will save the process of creating chapters and a menu for my next attempt, but I am having trouble with the simple process of just burning this MPEG2 to my DVD+R. I am using Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD - Expression (brand new version) and can't get it to work. It works FOR HOURS (even though I have already transcoded the file) and then just freezes up every time. I don't think that I am trying to do anything incredible here - just burn a MPEG2 to DVD+R.
Any suggestions with this program? If not, I have read the guides on the other programs (DVD-It, Nero, etc.) ... any recommendations for a REAL NEWBIE, trying to do a simple task? Thank You!!
