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!
