create DVD using Nero when VOB files are already on hard dis

[brett5]

admittedly a newbie question - how do you create a DVD using Nero when the files (VOB, IFO, BUP, etc) are already on the hard drive? Nero wants to retrieve the files from another DVD or mpg file, is there an easy way to just burn the DVD with these files or do I need to get an "author" program?

you can use use vob2mpg.
or use a tool that can import vob,ifos like tmpgenc dvd author, select add dvd video and select the folder with the vobs.

Do you have Nero Burning Rom installed? Not sure what you mean by, "Nero wants to retrieve the files from another DVD or mpg file" Have you tried the how to guides on this site? This link is for an older version of Nero but should give you the jist of it

yep, just burn the vob files as a dvd-video.

read my first post if you want to reauthor with a new menu for example...

OK, I can see it's under the Nero "recode" section where you recode or import from a DVD to create a new DVD. In the example referenced it was called a "new compilation"

sorry, must have had a brain freeze !
