[rockonvidtrade]

Hello from NZ , i have 2 files , 1 x 1.77gb and 1 x 2gb files , i want to burn them on the same dvd and have nero 7 , how does this work ? THANKS

Do you want to convert to a dvd-video(that works on a standalone dvd player)? Add the files in nerovision and convert and burn. If the video is longer than 2-3 hours make 2 dvdr.

If these are full length movie, put one per disc.

The 2 video files total 3.77gb , is it possible to put both files on the same dvd ? If i burn one of the files straight to dvd it plays on standalone allready, but i want to fit both files on the same dvd.

Use nero recode and join the both DVD(?) videos in one.
They will still be two DVD-video titles, with they're own chapter's, but joined, and you can choose which one to play using the standalone dvd player.
You just have to burn the joined dvd to a dvd disc like any other normal dvd video disc.

What are the running times of the two videos ? Unless the movies are already DVD compliant, the size means nothing. For example,m it is possible to compress a 2 hour movie to 1.4GB using H264 and have it look pretty good, however to burn the same movie back to DVD Video would mean re-encoding back to a full 4.38GB. Mpeg-2 is a less efficient encoder.

Depending on the source, 2 hours is about the limit for good quality on a single layer DVD, 3 hours for very average quality. After that, quality drops off very quickly. If your files have a combined running time of 2 hours or less, by all means try for one disc. But if they are 90 minutes or more each, the quality cost will be high.

What is nero recode ? Where do i find this ?

[guns1inger]

If you have the full version of Nero, you have recode.

Personally, I would uninstall Nero and use AVStoDVD instead. But that's just me.

THAT DOESN'T MATTER. The two files will need to be re-encoded to DVD specs which will
most likely result in a much larger file size.

The 2 files are dvd spec , not avi or mpeg , proper dvd files standalone ready

You have a lot of explaining to do.

Since you already have nero7...
