Dvd Burning Question

[Kenshin]

Ok i have a bunch of anime that i've converted to Dvd format. I can fit 8 episodes per dvd.

So what i want to know is there a special way that i have to do this? Or just add all the .bin files .vob files to the blank dvd in nero and burn?

Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

I wasn't really sure what to search for but the searchs i have done turned up nothing

Try the Author section to your left. BTW, DVD format is not bin files, it is MPEG-2 (Raw) or IFOs, BUPs and VOBs (authored). bin files mean you have gone ahead and converted to an image file, or you've download a couple of files from the net and haven't converted them yourself at all

Once you convert your source to MPEG-2, then author using any one of the tools you find under author in the tools section. I prefer TMPGEnc DVD Author for this. Then you can burn the resulting IFO, BUP and VOB files using your favorite burning software.

if i read correctly they're in dvd format already. you could also use dvdshrink if you dont mind not having menu's. just use re auther and open up each folder and drag over what ya need.

Yeah that was my bad, there in RM format i used WIN Avi to convert them to dvd .vob ifo bup files etc. Don't know why i wrote .bin

OK, cool. I would now feed them into a program like TMPGEnc DVD Author using the Add Video button, in order to create a simple menu for them (or no menu - either way ).

Just two more quick questions. 1. So i have to author the video this way right, just can't add all the files and burn (didn't think so)

2. About how long does it take to author these?

[glockjs]

right, they have to be authored.

if they already in dvd format like u said then no time at all, quick process. it'll take longer to burn the dvd

Thanks for all the help.

If you've got them in IFO, BUP and VOB format then they have already been authored, and you could burn each set to its own DVD without any hassles. If you want to add multiple sets to the one DVD, you need to reauthor them.

Actually last night i set the files to convert and it seems it converted them all into an authored dvd. It has chapter menus when i view the .vob files in Media Player. The only thing there is no sound, so it's either my comp or i converted them wrong with WIN Avi
