how to burn a DVD???????????/ newbie, but did my research

[mobrzut]

OK,,, I followed the sticky on how to burn a DVD.....But, I cannot get past using the DVD Decrypter after I go to View, ISO, Write....But, from there it does not allow me to do anything......What am I doing wrong? and I cannot even come close to getting to the point where I use Nero......Please help.

Thanks

Have you loaded an ISO or MDS file to burn ?
Do you have an ISO file to burn ?
If so, how did you create it ?

[GeorgeW]

what type of DVD Burner do you have? (internal or external). If external, is it on and recognized by your computer?

What type of disc do you have in the burner? ±R/RW?

Have you ever burned anything before to DVD Disc, or is this your very first time?

[snitzle_iii]

just burn the iso

[waheed]

You mean mode, ISO, write.

Need more info, What DVD Burner do you have. Are you trying to burn a DVD+R or DVD-R, or a Dual Layer.

Did you compress your original DVD to fit on a DVDR.

... after I go to View, ISO, Write.... ...and I cannot even come close to getting to the point where I use Nero.....

why bother with nero???
just burn with DVD Decrypter
after you've clicked Mode > ISO Write, click the Browse button near the top/middle and select the ISO you want to burn
then click the big HD > DVD button at the bottom (I must admit that when I first tried to use this program I did not realize it was a button and just thought it was a graphical part of the interface to 'visualize' the process you had chosen)

[northcat_8]

and browse your HD for the file.

ok,,,i did this and opened up the file...But, what the hell am i looking for?

[Sifaga]

what sticky ?

maybe you should follow one of the guides instead

find a guide and follow it, lots over to the left

lots of good ones here too www.dvdshrink.info

you're looking for the ISO file
select it
then click the burn button
you're making this much harder than it needs to be

[guns1inger]

You have created an ISO file, right ? If you just have the Video_TS folder and it's contents then you need to use imgtools to create the ISO for DD to burn

[Abond]

Hmm, to burn DVD you must have a DVD Burner...

[guns1inger]

Damn - no wonder mine don't work. I thought a toaster would do . . . . .

Dude...you need to be a little more specific in your questions.

Process:

Author DVD
Have DVD Authoring program write the DVD as an ISO file
Save ISO file somewhere like "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\xxxxx.ISO"

Start DVD Decrypter
Mode > ISO > write
Click the little folder Icon I circled in my first post
Browse your hard drive and find "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\xxxxx.ISO"
Click on it and then click "OPEN"
Then Click the button on the following picture.



You need to put a blank DVD in your burner before you click that button and when you do, the pane to the right will be filled in with your media's information. Mine is not filled in because I do not have a DVD burner on my notebook that I am using right now.

"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\xxxxx.ISO"

Is that like, wayyyyyyy better than XXX pron ?



These two guides might help in regards to burning DVDs:
Burning DVDs with DVDDecrypter
Burning DVDs with Nero

"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\xxxxx.ISO"

Yeah, it has to be But is ISO = Is Sex Ok ??

Oh and let's determine that he's not trying to burn a file over single layer. More than likely, he is missing the fact that his "Movie" has to be compressed, which DVD Decrypter will not do. Gee please do some reading.

[Shocker Milwaukee]

I say it's even money he's only got a CD-writer.

[Nilfennasion]

I'll take that bet. Twenty bucks on him only have a CD writer.

[Stephen DesBrisay]

I burned a DVD in the toaster. It worked just fine but I can't get it out.

[burnman99]

Stephen, did you use the "Top Brown Only" Setting? Is it a dual layer toaster?! I'm still wondering about xxx.iso.pron...does it compare to tgpo.porn? Is there a comparison guide?! Inquiring minds need to know!

[Nilfennasion]

Funny. I usually use kerosene and a magneto for mine.

I don't know about your Decrypter, but mine gives me an error message if I try to burn an oversized DVD...

This is pretty funny crap.
