Wow,
May be I'm one of the small number not using Nero but I read the guide from interest.
Well to be honest using B's Recorder Gold Basic all you have to do is make the 2 folders in advance and use the TS_VIDEO for your 'Srink' files. Then just drag to the program's window and automatically for DVDs B's will make them ISO/UDF complient (even if in settings Joliet is chosen).
I guess the strength of Nero is in different areas...
But yeah it is a nice guide - even downloaded Wink - the free soft to make those presentations.

What is the benefit of selecting the UDF/ISO mode rather then the DVD VIDEO mode where VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders are created automatically? Is it a copatability issue? Is this something you need to do when creating a mixed mode (Video & Data)? Under what circumstances would I use UDF/ISO raher than DVD-VIDEO?

@babyboo

I know that xboxs need to have durnt DVDs formatted in UDF/ISO. This is one instance. Other than that I don't know.

DVD-Video template is UDF/ISO bridge !!!!
Department of Redundancy Department, anyone?

Another wonderfully helpful post lordsmurf, thanks a lot...

So what you are saying is that the DVD-VIDEO setting is UDF/ISO with the folders auto generated

Yes,there's nothing wrong with using a Joliet+UDF bridge...I use it all the time.

[lordsmurf]

There is no reason for Joliet. That is out of spec, many players reject the Joliet spec. UDF holds as many characters as Joliet, if not more.

I think we're forgetting something.

The reason for choosing UDF over DVD Video is that in older versions of Nero (later 5.x versions and early 6.x versions) they kept changing, with each new release, what the DVD Video template was, exactly... and it was just SAFER to pick UDF because you'd be sure to make a disc that would play.

With current Nero releases (I'm running Nero Reloaded 6.6 at the moment) it is a moot point, and there's no need to choose UDF over DVD Video.

Thanks...now I understand!

5.5.10.20 through 5.5.10.55 were safe.

I didn't need a tutorial to check one box in shrink.

Most of us don't, but you'd be amazed at the number of people who do.

Gurm- I for one am amazed. A tutorial to burn a DVD with Nero? Damn, the thing is idiot proof!

It wasn't directed at you! Just at the people that NEVER bothered to pick up the manual to find out HOW!

Totally agree, I'm using 5.5.10.42 and the dvd-video just works but when I tried the first version of nero 6 things just didn't work as expected, have tried both methods on nero 5.5.10.42 and both give perfect results.

Let's face it - there are people for whom technology of any sort comes easily, and ... everyone else.

People routinely can't guess my age online. I beat kids at video games on a regular basis (except the ones that require ULTRA-TWITCH reflexes, which I've not only never had, but what I did have is deserting me as I end my third decade on the planet). There's no such thing as a piece of technology or a computer program or a concept that's "too complex" for me to simply fiddle with it for a minute and grasp it intuitively.

Then you have people like my dad. His technology level is hopelessly mired in 1980. He CAN learn new things, but it comes hard. I try to walk him through things on the computer, and I tell him to click on something and he needs to know which button on the mouse, and how many clicks. That's just how some people are. They grasp easily the technology of their childhood/teenage years, and everything else is hard-won.

I suspect that the 8 million people who come in here each and every week saying "how do I use Nero", and the half-dozen who write the world's most idiotic "how-to" guide to help those 8 million, are members of the latter group as well. The guide-writers are those who have figured it out and now consider themselves to be masters of the subject...

But we need them, because you and I can't write a guide like that. We start laughing or get disgusted after the third screenshot. We start saying things like "hit yes a bunch of times" and get VERY frustrated when the idiots can't get past that step because one of the dialogue boxes says "sure" and not "yes" and they don't know what to do.

So we NEED the people who write the guide on "how to use DVD X Copy" (insert disc, hit the big green button) or "how to make PERFECT copies with DVD Shrink" (insert disc, hit the "go" button) or "how to rip a movie with DVD decrypter" (insert disc, hit the big button with the picture of the DVD on it).

ImgTools classic + DVDDecrypter. Not a cent, and not a checkbox or setting to set wrong. That's what I call fool proof.

[pippas]

I use the IMGtool + DVD Decrypter as a first choice - for me it works every time.

Nero? --- works sometimes! (but discs won't play on some players - my friend's Cyberhome, for example).

Don't bother with it anymore.
