I am using Nero exoress 6 and would like to burn a movie onto DVD but all I can find is putting it onto CD and when I run the program it comes back and tells me I dont have enough space to complete the compilation,Please insert another disc that provides more place. thanks in advance for any help given.................................scotty47

Hello,

Not all versions of Nero support dvd burning. Double check to make sure your's does. There should be an option for changing the cd to dvd. If not you'll have to get a newer version of nero that supports dvd authoring.

If you're using the smart start window, in the upper right-hand corner, there are two tabs. One says CD the other. DVD. Click on the DVD tab.

Before you do what those two said, let me ask a dumb question: Do you have a DVD burner ?

If yes, do what those two said

If no ....

If no ....

Then get a dvd burner

There's a guide here for burning DVDs with Nero Express.

[scotty47]

Thanks for the speedy reply jimmalenko, next dumb question how do i create the audio/video_TS to use in burning

[jimmalenko]

RTFM. The guide uses the DVD-Video template, which automatically creates those folders for you.

[tekkieman]

I won't make the mistake of making assumptions again. I'll first ask about your "movie files". Are they in DVD format (converted)? Have you authored the DVD? If so, you should already have your VIDEO_TS folder. Or, are you planning on using <shudder> NeroVision Express to create the DVD structure?

EDIT: Sorry Jim. You beat me to the post.

Man, tekkie ... you ARE slippin' !

The video is in Mpeg video and mpeg media in a file I am just trying multiplexing in Tmpgenc to see if that will open when I press the DVD-Video file in Nero........................scotty47

That's it! I'm going home and just play by...with...no....by myself!

Is this an MPEG you have converted to be DVD-compliant ? (You need to do this first, then you need to AUTHOR it, then you can burn ).

[scotty47]

didnt work, think I am also going home as i am totally lost. thanks anyway guys...........................scotty47

[scotty47]

The file is currently in Mpeg Video, how do I get it to a format that I can put on a DVD. Thank you.......................scotty47

[jimmalenko]

1. Obtain source.
2. Make sure source is DVD-compliant, or convert it so that it is.
3. Author.
4. Burn.
