burning a dvd-disc

[goud3]

Hi everybody,

This is my first time on this forum and I hope I can get and give some answers.

Lately I am making my own movies with my camera, adobe premiere 6.5 and to make a menu I use DVDlab. This program works really fine and I can do anything with it. But I have only one problem : When I'm finished making my menu's I will 'COMPLIE' the whole thing, so far so good the only thing that does not work is to burn the the whole thing on a dvd-disc. I have tried it with DVDlab but that did not work. I have tried to burn it with nero and that worked but my DVD-player won't recognize the disc. Does this have anything to do with creating an image ? and what is that precisely ? and how do I make an image ? I hope anybody can give me an answer because I'm out of idea's.....

I hope to hear from you soon ...

DVD-Lab's final output is a set of files in a VIDEO_TS folder. They will have *.ifo, *.bup, and *.vob extensions. You open Nero, choose new project>DVD>DVD-Video. On the right hand (file browser), open the VIDEO_TS folder DVD-Lab created and drag its contents to the VIDEO_TS folder of your Nero project. Then burn. Lastly, make sure your DVD player duly accepts and properly plays DVD-R, +R. Since you have the file set in the VIDEO_TS folder created by DVD-Lab image creation is not that relevant here. A collection of files on a CD or DVD that are intended to be burned and to work in a specific manner then collated by some program into one big single file, this single file is the image of that CD or DVD. Some programs create proprietary images that can't be used for re-creating the original CD or DVD with another burning program (for example Nero's *.nrg image is created by, and only recognized by Nero). But there are standard ways of creating images (like *.iso, as when you ask DVDDecryter to create an image of a DVD, or *.bin/*.cue) that are mostly accepted by CD/DVD-burning programs across the whole lot.
