.bup x 2
.ifo x 2
.vob x 5

Looks like you used TMPGenc DVD Author.
Well, you need to do it again because that is where you add menus and chapters. back up one step

[drummerduck]

o.k so lets say i don't want the menus........ what are these files.... i know the vob files, its the others..... what ae they and where do they all go? in what order and what software?

You have to have all those files in a folder called
VIDEO_TS (all caps)
and then you use a burning program to write that folder as data
to DVD

I strongly reccommend you play that folder with WinDVD or something
similar first to see if it works

Don't forget the empty AUDIO_TS (all caps) folder as well.

[drummerduck]

o.k, so what files go into the AUDIO_TS? all my audio is in with the video again so how can i have an AUDIO_TS and a VIDEO_TS?

The AUDIO_TS folder is just empty ...

[drummerduck]

right.......at the moment i have the VIDEO_TS folder with all my files in and the AUDIO_TS folder which is empty..... is there a guide for this on the site? i'm at a complete loss of what to do next........ i guess burn it would be a good idea?

whats the process here.....

Many thanks

Can I ask an even simpler question. What did you start with as far as your source material goes.

[FOO]

First you get a DVD burner and stick a Blank DVD in it
Then you get a DVD burning program
Then you put the VIDEO_TS folder in the burning program
Then you click START or GO or DOIITNOW or whatever applies

You might look in some HOWTO guides to your left

[drummerduck]

you know what FOO yes your right i should have looked in the guides and found out, but through experience sometimes the more "easier" solutions can sometime work out to be the trickiest........ i just didn't know where to go....... it been a long hard slog for me to get this far!!

my source was divx...... so i decoded...... run through virtualdub, correcting the frames, used TMPGEnc to get my audio and mv2 files, corrected AC3 file with AC3fix.......... put it all back together to get where i am now.........

i'm not so stupid, maybe just lazy like a few others that post and do not look before i ask, my apologies.........

I do have funny enough, a DVD burner...... it was one expensive cup of tea holder if you ask me....... that is what is for ain't it?

[FOO]

OK
but we have to finish this thread in our lifetime.
I know you're not stupid , you managed to get DVD folder set out of Xvid
which is better than lots.

Did you get a burning program with your burner ?
Nero, RNM, etc ?
If not get one ! Record Now Max is good.

Fire it up, set Data Mode , drag your VIDEO_TS folder to it , and hit GO

before you do that get WinDVD and play the VIDEO_TS folder

[drummerduck]

Thanks FOO, i used Nero to burn but read that this may cause problems with dvd's reading the disk? i tryed to play it on my chipped PS2 but it says Disk Error, still yet to check it on a stand alone.

The information you gave me actually helped , i know it was a stupid question....... it was quite obvious what i had to do when i looked......

And i checked it with Windvd and it worked o.k. Is this a good program to check all the files before burning?

And one more question..... what is the Data Mode? i have not come across this, EVER? i didn't set it before burning, should i have?

Many thanks for the info....... it did help.

It dates from ancient history .... Cds
Either you wanted to put music on a CD or Files.
The disk format was different
if you wrote a WAV on a CD as DATA it wouldn't play in the players
