Hi there everyone!
First of all, I'd like to say thanks everyone for making such a wonderful website (not just the site, but the forum that all the members contribute to) with such a wealth of information. Very helpful, and your efforts are appreciated!
That being said, I'm having a little bit of trouble with my DVD player and burning movies here. I apologize if this has been asked & answered before but it's a little hard to phrase this to plug in to a search.
The problem is that (using the newest version of Nero) when I burn a DVD from AVI (it converts it, usually takes overnight) the DVD plays without a problem on my (albeit old) DVD player, but when I burn from VIDEO_TS folder or image, it never plays. The DVD player says "NO PLAY" whenever a disc like this is inserted. And it's not even like I'm just dragging the VIDEO_TS directory on to the disc -- I'm using Nero's wizard to do the job!
Can anyone give me a hint as to why this is occuring and how I could fix it? I suppose I can just start converting VIDEO_TS files to avi and then convert back to the DVD using Nero, but that seems like a lot of trouble and would take quite a while.
Thanks for the help guys!
Justin

The method I use, is to create a folder and have the VIDEO_TS and a blank AUDIO_TS
within it.
Then I use ImageTool Classic to create the image and have ImgBurn burn it.
IMHO this is the most "fool-proof" method. (assuming the vid is good)
When it comes to DVD vids...I usually steer clear of Nero. IMHOThe Devil`s always.....in the Details! -
It would also depend on what format in Nero you are using to burn with. In Nero Burning ROM, you use the 'DVD-Video' format and put the contents of your VIDEO_TS folder into Nero's VIDEO_TS folder and burn. If you use other formats like DVD-ROM (ISO), it's not likely to work with most DVD players.
And I would use a different program than Nero to convert AVI type files to DVD. It doesn't do that very well, though it's fine as a burner.
A better program to try might be ConvertXToDVD.
And welcome to our forums. -
Thanks for the suggestions, redwudz and vico1! I will try that right away
