DVD burning trouble

[MattsGraphs]

I recently purchased a dvd burner Sony DVD RW DW-D26A with the burner I got NTI 7 software for free. I have been told by a lot of people that this software is very bad and I couldnt figure out how to use it. I had Nero 5.5.9.9 from my previous CD Burner and have been trying to get that to work but still have not been able to. I used DivxtoDVD converter on my movie file so nero could read it. I used someone elses setup so the audio_ts and video_ts folders showed up when I double clicked on DVD-video files.Once in the DVD-video files I double clicked the video_ts folder and drapped in the files.Then when I burn it, it shows in my real player that a dvd is there but only says title one and nothing happens and on my Samsung DVD-P242 dvd player it says loading and nothing happens.

If anyone has any suggestions or anything Id greatly appreciate it as I have had it since Sunday and Im getting worried!

O yes I have tried burning onto both Maxwell DVD+R and Imation DVD+RW

Welcome to the forum.

Its most likely to be OEM which came with your cd burner and therefore restricted to work with your cd burner only.

Does the burned dvd play fine on your PC. If so, try different media. Some media do not work in some standalone dvd players. Try DVD-R media instead of DVD+R. I dont think you burner supports bitsetting.

I used DivxtoDVD converter on my movie file so nero could read it and have someone else setup so the audio_ts and video_ts folders show up when I double click on video folder and drag the files in then I burn it, it shows in my real player that a dvd is there but only says title one and nothing happens and on my Samsung DVD-P242 dvd player it says loading and nothing happens.

This sentence is absolute mess. Try to describe more clearly at least with several sentences your problem.
Currently I can only suggest you a couple of guides here

waheed-no when I try it on my computer the real player recognizes that there is a dvd but says title 1 and nothing happens. Its as if it doesnt read any video on it..

Abond-Ok I tried to reword with a edit see if you can understand it now, i'll check out some of those guides

thanks for the replys!

Can anyone else give me some advice

[jimmalenko]

Maybe try this guide for burning with Nero Express ...

Maybe try different media ...

Maybe try DVD-R's ...

Maybe try the DVDs you've already burnt on someone else's DVD Player ...

My only problem is that is a newer version and when I click the DVD-video files the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders dont show up

You need to choose dvd video compilation is your burning software. Or you can manually create it, choose to burn a data disc, ISO/UDF compilation using UDF 1.02 and create a folder for AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. Drop all your files into VIDEO_TS. Ive tried this method in Nero and it works.

"choose to burn a data disc, ISO/UDF compilation using UDF 1.02 and create a folder for AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. Drop all your files into VIDEO_TS. Ive tried this method in Nero and it works"

What is UFD 1.02? When I click data disc nothing about ISO/UDF shows up .

thanks for the reply

I use Nero. Under new compilation choose DVD-ROM (UDF/ISO):



Under the UDF tab, Choose UDF 1.02:



After selecting this compilation, create two folders, an AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folder. The AUDIO_TS folder should be empty. Drag and dop all your dvd files (IFO, BUP, VOB) into the VIDEO_TS folder.

Burn the dvd. ensure you use all caps and no spaces for the title of your dvd.

o I dont get any of those options when my stars I only have Nero Express when mine opens

Just choose the DVD Video compilation with Nero Express. The data disc method is more suited with using Nero.
