New to DVD Burning/Authoring - 7 questions:

[mattfarley]

A few questions on my new hardware/software:

*. In Nero when I'm creating a new DVD video, if I select the "DVD Video" profile, the burned DVD will not play. But if I select the profile "DVD Data" and just create the proper dirs myself, the movie plays just fine. Is there a way to get the Video profile working?

*. My DVD burner is 8mb cache, 4x burn speed. Nero sees 8mb / 2.4x. Any fix for this?

*. It seems that most Sony DVD players don't like DVD-R formats, is this everyone, or just me? (using Ritek DVD-R's)

*. With WinFast PVR - if I schedule a future recording with the DirectBurn to DVD profile, but at the current time have my profile set to capture to the C: Drive - when it comes time and the program loads itself and starts recording with the DirectBurn profile, instead of automaticall switching the workarea to the DVD drive, it saves the file to the C: drive instead. Is there any way to make it auto-set the work area to the DVD?

*. When the above error happens, I am stuck with a DVD .mpg on my HD that I want on a DVD. Is there a quick way to author the dvd with this MPG? If I rename it to .VOB will that work? Because if I try to drag this new .mpg into Windows Movie Maker 2 or Adobe, they don't like it and error out.

*. I have noticed that after 10-15 minutes on the above settings, the audio / video begin desyncing. Any tips?

I know its a lot of misc questions, but I hope someone can help!

Thanks!
