Home Video

[nick9878]

I have 11 seperate chapters of kids home video i would like to burn to DVD. I have all the chapters in its original AVI file and i have converted them to MPEG 2.
I have use MGI 5 to make the video clips and in totall they are 1hr and 24 mins in length. In MPEG 2 format they are 1.87 Gig
When i try to use MGI to burn them to disc the program claims the files are to big, i am sure that its having a breakdown and the CD burner plug in is crap.
Can any one suggest a program that will allow me to create a menu and burn my files as a DVD.
I would appreciate any suggestions you have.

Regards

Nick

Do you have a CD burner or a DVD burner? You mentioned a CD burner plug in but did not mention if you have a DVD burner. Just Curious.

How did you convert the video into MPEG-2 and is the video in DVD format? And do not forget to fill in your computer details.

I used TMPGe to convert from AVI to MPEG 2
TMPGe does not give you the oppurtunity to create a menu.
After i have the Mpeg 2 files i can either use MGI to create a menu but MGI will not let you burn any more than 80 mins of video.
or
I can use nero which will allow me to burn the full 120 mins of video but without the menu.

I need to be able to burn the full 120 mins of video with a menu
