Burning from Hard Drive

[twistandshout]

Hi there.

What I want to be able to do is put movies etc, that are already on my hard drive, on to a DVD that i can watch through my DVD player.

It seems simple but i just cant seem to get it working.

thanks

What type of files are they?

[twistandshout]

AVI's and Mpeg's

The reason I asked that is because if these are downloaded movies, I doubt you will get the answer here.

Through nero i just cant put video files on a DVD that plays through my DVD player.

It seems easy, but not for me. Ive have read a fair bit but nothing seems to work.

Are you sure that your DVD player is 100% compatible?

Hi!AVI's and Mpeg'sIf your standalone DVD player is capable of playing back .AVIs (It will have a "DivX" logo on it), simply use NERO to burn DVD as a "data disk", by selecting "DVD-ROM (UDF/ISO)" mode or "DVD-ROM (ISO) mode...

If your player doesn't have .AVI playback capability, you'll have to firs convert your videos to DVD-compliant "packages"...

...and you won't get that converter with the version of Nero bundled with a drive or included with a computer. There are a few free programs available here, or you can purchase the full version of Nero which includes a "drag-and-drop" video file to DVD burning ability.
