      DVD-R DATA .... question ....

      Elpresidente you seem to be the man with all the answers. I am totally new to this sport and just bought a Pioneer-A04 burner. If I follow your steps and burn to a DVD-RW, will it play on stand-alones such as an Apex AD-660 DVD player.
      I have noticed when I back up all my computer data on a DVD-RW, it wont appear when the disc is placed in my laptop which I assume is because it isnt finalized. Will the DVD-RW's have to be finalized in order for them to play? And if so, how?
      Thanks in advance from a true newbie!

      Hey mate ...
      Welcome to the forum ...

      I´ve modified your post (created a new thread)

      1. If u create a DVD Data Disc (Multisession) u have to finalize the disc (Nero --> just check finalize box)...but if u create a "normal" DVD Data Disc, it is automatically finalized.

      2. Is the laptop drive able to read the DVD-RW movie discs ?! if not maybe it isn´t able to read DVD-RW

      Ok thanks for the help, I will check and see if that will work. The Nero I am using is an older version than the one in your tutorial, so I will have to upgrade to keep things simple. I think my laptop should be able to read the DVD-RW's, it is brand new. That is a good question on your part though. I do know it can read a DVD-R because I made a movie with DVDx and it played, but I want to be able to make movies that play both on my stand alone and my laptop.
      In my Nero ver # 5.5.5.1, it seems that I cant drag and drop files over two gigs in order to burn it. My system is Win2000 and is NTFS so I know that is not the problem. Any suggestions?
      Also the finalize button isnt accessible (sp) for me to turn it on or off????

      lol... yep mate ...your Nero version is a bit outdated ... I use 5.5.9.0 (I know it isn´t the newest but it works--> remember --> NEVER TOUCH A RUNNING SYSTEM ! *lol* )

      much have changed since 5.5.5.1 @ DVD Burning abilities ...
      I think it´s an problem with the File system (which Nero uses) ..

      Upgrade to a newer Version an try it again ... don´t forget to post your results ...

      Ok, tried your tutorial and here goes. I practiced with the DVD movie Gladiator and ended up with 7.47 gigs of output. Feeling that there was no way to just cut the credits down to 4 1/2 gigs, I thought I would try and just select the first 4 of the 8 chapters and put the movie on two DVD's. I copied the first 4 chapters and all the other files into Nero, and burned it (first time using Nero).
      The outcome didnt play. I do believe it was do to my part though. Does the DVD have to be called VIDEO_TS in order for it to play, and be recognized by the players? Also, if I do split a movie into 2 DVD's, when I select chapters 5-8 I am assuming I need to include the extra files with it like I did when I burned 1-4.
      Is that correct? Your help is appreciated!!!!!

      Tried it again exactly as your tutorial showed but with only half the vob files (because of size), and again it didnt play on my Apex DVD player. Got any suggestions????

      When played through Power DVD and WinDVD on pc where it was burned, it played great!

      I noticed in one of the other forums Mandy said instead of using USF/ISO, she used DVD Video and the burn worked ok on her standalone player. When I try using DVD Video, it wont let me use it as an option. Is it because I am using Nero 5.5.7.8 ?
      Should I go to a higher Nero?

      Sorry to be such a pain, but I have been waiting along time to figure this stuff out. Thanks in advance!

      Why is it things never go the easy way as planned? (lol)

      I switched to Nero 5.5.9.0 and tried the DVD Video format. When I tried to burn it, it kept telling me that the "Required file %'s is not present". Here is a list of the files I included,
      VIDEO_TS.BUP
      VIDEO_TS.IFO
      VTS_01_0.BUP
      VTS_01_0.IFO
      VTS_01_1
      VTS_01_2
      ETC.

      Am I missing something. I tried using the Default, and without the Default file also.
      Getting alittle frustrated....Could you help alittle more please?

      Sorry not quite sure what you mean by that answer. Yes when I used Smart Ripper, I stripped them from the original DVD and have them in a folder on my HDD with the other VOB files.
      Are you saying that when I use Nero, to have the original disc in my DVD Rom?

      I am not sure how to include an attachment in this message. I have a jpeg file on exactly what the Nero report said if you can tell me how to include it, or an email to send it to.

      Okay....I originally used IFOEdit to do the files, but after your last reply I copied and pasted them from the original DVD into another folder and tried to burn it only to still get the same error message.
