Burning DVD with Nero 7 essential

[kunitsu]

I dont know why but I cant seem to burn DVD's using nero 7

I waited for 7 hours and it still doesnt work. Can someone tell me if there is something I need to do before I burn a DVD

Can you say what exactly are the options you have set?

Anyway, just adding my two bits before that - If you're using Nero Burning ROM, you have to change the burning device from CD to DVD. Add your files as usual and then click on burn. There, disable virus check and try simulating and burning with a 4x speed.

Which options exactly

Btw does having a low memory do anything to the burning process

I have that problem too but a friend of mine said it was because Nero isn't good when transcoding the videos from avi to mpeg.... When I tried to burn a dvd with avi videos the video was really slow.... He uses at least 3 programs (one to transcode, another to make the menu and Nero) to burn decent DVD.... It's too much trouble for me so I just gave up trying to do that XD

But don't be like me!! If you really want to, you can do it! Just have patience!

Hmmm well I'm not sure how come it doesn't work for you, I spent all week burning .avi files on DVDs with it and it works like every other Nero program, nothing special to do or anything
Unless you're trying to copy an actual DVD movie with it?

I tried using Nero to burn my .avi and .mkv files on DVD, but my Nero doesn't want too... And to do it another way is too troublesome so I only watch them on my computer. I burn them on DVDs as "data" to backup them only (not watchable on TV however).

Oh if you mean converting avi and mkv to watch on TV with Nero, I don't think the Essential version does that. It does work with my Nero 6 Ultra Edition though.

If you are converting it can take hours depending on your computer's speed. In the past, the process could take up to 30 hours! I recommend ConvertXtoDVD, it's faster and has better filters.

@Yuu_chan: You mean I have to convert it into mpeg first

@Munemasa: Wow 30 hours
Is it a free softwhere. Where can I get it
