How to burn a DVD-Video Disc with Nero Burning
ROM
/>
/>
/>
Alright, I know that many of you
may say that there are plenty of DVD burning progs out there and
that if
I do a guide like this I should cover all of them. But I only got
Nero and
many users are asking me about how to burn a DVD-Video with Nero, so
that's
why Nero is the one for the guide.
This guide is supposed to
be used by people that have created the compressed DVD files using DVD
Shrink
and now they don't know what to do with them or everyone that wants to
see
how to create a DVD-Video. Remember that for the DVD Decrypter guide
you don't
need Nero, as DVD Decrypter can burn the ISO file itself. Anyway
before start
reading this guide keep in mind that it is for use with DVD Shrink or
other
program that creates .IFO and .VOB files. Don't use it to burn files
or mp3
in your DVD, for this you need to select a DVD-ISO disc.
Of course, Nero Burning ROM
is a commercial program and we don't have it available for download.
Instead
you can get a trial version
here.

First of all I
make clear that I use version 6. If you have an older version
that supports
DVD (I think all the versions after 5.5.x.x) then the process is
the
same. Please make sure you start Nero Buring ROM I show here and
NOT
the Nero SmartStart.

The new complication
comes up. If you see a Wizard close it (there must be a button
down
right which says Close Wizard or something). Open the
pull-down menu
I show and select DVD.
NOTE: If there is no pull-down
menu then your version does not support DVD.
/>
/>
Select DVD-Video
(1) from the list. Then just make sure the settings (2) are the
same
as shown here. Then click on the Label tab.
/>
/>
Here just put the
label that you want your DVD to have. (It's the name that you
see before
your drive's letter every time you go to My Computer). After
that click
New.
/>
/>
At the left of
your screen you see the folders of the DVD we are going to burn.
Notice
the VIDEO_TS folder is red. Double click to open the VIDEO_TS
folder.
/>
/>
At the right of
your screen you can see your hard drive. Browse to the folder
where you
have your DVD files (the files that DVD Shrink created).
/>
/>
Select all the
files. I repeat:
ALL the files.
/>
/>
Now drag and
drop
ALL the files you selected at the step
before
into the VIDEO_TS folder we opened before at your left.
IMPORTANT: People
keep asking me that. Yes you put ALL the files DVD Shrink or
other
program created into the VIDEO_TS folder. The AUDIO_TS
folder remains
empty.

This is how Nero
should look after all this. Note that the bat at the bottom
should be
all blue, or with just a little yellow where it finishes. Now
click the
burn icon that I show with the arrow.
/>
/>
Here select
just Write. Put the write speed for your media (for slower
media like
here, Nero reduces the speed from 4x to 2x, nothing to worry
about)
and finally click Burn!
Wait for it to finish and
you will have a very nice DVD-Video disc!
