Burning DVD Videos

[-=MD=-]

Only got my DVD writer today so I'm a bit of a newbie, I've got a AVI that I wanted to burn onto a DVD video , but the software that I'm using which is Nero 6 wants one of the three file types and they are *.bup, *.vob, *.ifo
I'm just wondering what software package I should use to convert them, try using TMPEnc but can only get it to convert it to MPG/MP2

Thanks for any help in advance

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" v.1.5.11.37 (a different program than "TMPGEnc) to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)


**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress


If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")

Me too! But got a problem.

I've copied the .vro movie file to the HDD and renamed it VR_MOVIE.MPG I'm using TMPG DVDAuthor to edit and I've added the renamed file as a "New Project". I can run the movie and I've managed to do a little editting - removing ads and the like but I cannot get any sound. When I go to clip information, the Audio Input file is the renamed .MPG file but the little sound icon on the edit page is greyed out.

Obviously, I'm missing something

Thanks for your help
