Help with m2v files

[Down1oader]

hi i just captured a vhs tape to my hard drive using pinnacle studio deluxe 8.7, ive created all the menus etc. i am now at the authoring stage, i want to put it on dvdr first i tried burn directly to dvd-r after 3 hours of encoding a big error message popped up saying i had inserted incorrect media, i know for a fact its correct :/. Anyway i then chose the create disc content instead of burn directly to dvdr, it has now finished the process and i have ended up with these files (see screenshot) http://www.zen14331.zen.co.uk/Image1.jpg
now i do not know how to burn these files to dvdr to make one that will work in dvd players... wht do i do with these files??????????????/ plz i need help!!!!!

M2V files are the movies with no sound (I think)
the .wav files presumably the audio.

Your directory has a lot of those in and a lot of .wav files.

You'll need to load these into some kind of DVD authoring software.
I use DVD Maestro and it doesn't accept .wav files so you may need to convert the audio.

DVD Maestro accepts wav files, PCM (wav) and AC3 are the supported audio formats under the DVD Standard.

With that said it looks like you encoded your captured video (from avi?) to MPEG. You have a series of m2v (video) and wav (audio) files. As mentioned above PCM audio is supported by the DVD standard, but as the audio is uncompressed the file sizes are rather large, you might have to convert them into ac3 files (compressed) to fit everything on one DVDR:

What's also odd is that you said you made menus and set other DVD options, but the output is all unathored elementary streams. At any rate you'll need to author (see guides to left) those files to generate a VIDEO_TS folder with the necessary IFO/VOB files.
