Burning an MPG to DVDR

[Cyberdood]

Hi

I have completed the turotrial at https://www.videohelp.com/divxtovcd.htm#audio. I not have my mpg file ready to burn to a CD. But I would like to burn it to a DVD+R using Nero rather than a CDR. Even tho I have selected Video CD in the New Compilation Window, when I come to burn my DVDR Nero tells me that there is no Media in the drive (even tho there is a new disk in the drive. I have selected the correct recorder (I have two CDR's in my tower).

Must I do something different to burn my mpg's to dvdr in Nero?

Thanks

So is there no way to get my download mpg file on to a DVDR disk at all?

You could burn your mpg as a simple data file. The problem with that is many DVD players won't play it. Raw mpg playback poorly supported by DVD players. You would be better off to author your mpg into a DVD compatible set of files then any DVD player will play it.

OK thanks for that.

Is there a tutorial to do what you suggest?
