Hi again

Got AO3 yesterday with 25 Bulkpaq dvd-r and 10 datasafe dvd-rw
not much joy so far, could be im not using the ridt file structure etc
but they only play on my pc and not my standalone dansai 852 which should be ok

its early days yet and i will overcome

Hi scottie59...
Use Ulead Video Studio6.5.
I have a dansai as well, all me dvd-r films work great with this prog.

[scottie59]

Hi
got ulead ver 6,is ver 6.5 a great improvement???
I tried out dvd movie factory and got it to work on standalone on the rewritables.
I will be looking to get chapters and menus later on.

[elpresidente]

So... finally got my 100pack of princos ... They work great !!
my problem with other cheap dvd-r discs was the reading speed on pc ....
I can read princos now @ up to 5.5x speed..
but still write them @ 1x

goto w*w.shop4tech.com to get them ... I don´t like advertising but I can really recommend the support there ..

btw. shipping from US to Austria worked fine ..

Hi

thnx

will remember that.
I still hve to make a working dvd on one of these bulkpaq dvd-rs

the one I authored with movie factory on rw seems to work.

I am running your simple dvd-dvdr faq as i speak for the second time. still think I have a problem with my earlier version of nero

the screenshot with the udf file system is different, I don,t have one!
mabe you have seen my other posts and you will have seen how I have been getting on.

got nero to startdownloading but at 1kps forget it just now.

I am away 4 till sat night

what version of nero ?
the guide was created with 5.5.7.8. I think ...

hmm...use 5.5.8.0 there is also no udf filesystem "selector" just create DVD Video project and everything works fine ...

hi again

using nero ver 5.5.5.1

hopefully a new version will arrive by snail on monday.

I have ripped and stripped 3 dvds now and still cannot get them under 4.7gb.

I am away to find out the next step.

I got a result using

smart***r
dvd2avi
tmp*g dvd compression
dvd movie factory added some chapters and processed it, + it all took ages, but it worked
there must be a better way?

[elpresidente]

hmm... better way ? lets say another way .... just combine some of my tutorials .... DVDtoDVD-r + CCE + Scenarist NT ....
I don´t like Movie Factory ... so I use Scenarist

btw. transcoding takes the most time .....

hmm...5.5.5.1 ... ?? that´s really "old" for dvd burning ...cause ahead changed much between 5.1 and 8.2 ....

Hi again

got nero (latest) and all is well if you use the wizard.
I have done only 94min dvds using smartripper to extract. when using el_ps Guide there seems to be some files short, but all is not lost when you use neros wizard it tells you what files you require if you are short, you then rip them, add them and
then burn them.

I am using datasafe dvd-rw and bulkpaq dvd-r all seems ok

I am away looking for software to backup longer dvd films

nothing to do with the burning software ...

just take a look at the cce guide + scenarist guide ...to resize the mainmovie and reautor the dvd ... have fun
