Hello,

I believe dvd decrypter should do it.

Mount it on a virtual drive with Daemon Tools.

...or just burn it to a DVD-R (if it is an image of a DVD - an IMG can contain anything )

hi

tried loading into nero in the vts folder in the dvd video files, no compatable format, this is a video image img file. so will i have to use the other method ?

You tried placing the IMG file into VIDEO_TS?
Now, back up a bit, and:
Think of the IMG as a bucket. It can contain anything. What's inside can only be told by looking inside it. To this end, you can mount it with daemon tools. If it's an image of a video DVD, it should contain an empty AUDIO_TS folder, and a VIDEO_TS folder with lots of IFOs, BUPs and VOBs inside. If so, you can treat it exactly as if it was a video DVD inserted in your DVD reader, for instance do as you did, but move all inside the VIDEO_TS to the VIDEO_TS in Nero. Or just burn the IMG to DVD recordable with DVDDecrypter. Or if it's too large to fit a rewritable, use DVDShrink to make a DVD-5 copy of it, or...

Or go to Nero Start Smart --> DVD --> Copy and Backup --> Burn Image to Disc. How come you were trying to drop it into DVDLab? (I don't have DVDLab, never tried it either, just curious).

Some version of nero dont like .img files.... What i do is to rename it to a .iso then nero takes and burns it...
