Cant convert from mpeg to dvd using tmpgenc 1.6

[cmgames]

I am using tmpgenc dvd author to convert mpeg to dvd using dvd+r. When i go to begin output it and asks me to create a folder in the drive it says it cant create it. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I am using verbatim dvd+r 8 x with an NEC 3520A dvd drive. When i click on the drive it says e: is not accesible. Incorrect Function.

You gotta output to your hard drive, not your DVD burner.

i just tried that and when i went to write dvd folder to dvd it said the dvd writing tool has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hang on ...

Are you outputting the authored content (when you click Begin Output), or are you using the DVD writing tool to burn the newly-authored content to disc ?

They're two separate steps

This is what i've done so far, i added the mpeg file in source setup then in output i made an output folder in my documents then i went to write dvd folder to dvd r/rw and browsed for the folder i just created in my documents, selected the recorder and then clicked on write dvd

Move the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders out of My Documents to somewhere else on their own (I suggest you make a new directory off your C: and drop them in there) and then try it. When you select the folder as source, you've got to select the folder above the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders.

I've tried doing that but when i go to write dvd it says dvd writing tool has encountered a problem and needs to close

Try outputting as an ISO file in DVD Author and then burning with DVD Decrypter.
