In Nero, there is an option to burn a DVD-Video. The
problem is I don't have Nero, I have CDRWin 3.9F, and
it does not seem to give me a choice to burn a DVD-Video.

Assuming that I have created all the necessary files for
a DVD movie, is it all that is required to make a DVD movie
is to correctly put them in a VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS
directory on the disc?

Basicly, has anyone has been able to burn a DVD-movie using
CDRWin, and if they have been successful, what options and
settings should be configured to allow me to do this? All
the guides I've seen so far only refers to Nero.

Your help is appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the ISO/UDF image CDRWIN will create wont be DVD-Video compliant.

IFO files are supposed to be positioned before the VOBs of its given VTS set, the BUP file should be positioned after it.
CDRWIN will just burn the files in alphabetical order. so VTS*.BUP, VTS*.IFO and then VTS*.VOB

A player shouldnt really care about that but it might do.

When you build the image, just be sure to tell it to use UDF and ISO for the file system.

Yes you still need to have the files in a VIDEO_TS folder.

What I'd do is make something like C:\DVD\VIDEO_TS and then just drag the C:\DVD folder into the box in the backup tools window.
Assuming you've not turned on 'preserve paths' you'll just end up with a disc with a VIDEO_TS folder in the root.

Hmm... thinking about it, why not just use ImgTool Classic?!

It's free and will save you some time and effort.
