Nero burning DVD problems

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

So I've got a DVD burner, Nero v.6 is all updated, I've contacted their
support center for this, but the guy only ever answers half of my questions,
and the rest of the time tells me to read the Nero tutorials (duh!).
-my files are downloaded off the internet, and then burned using NeroVision
2. Most of the time, no problem. But sometimes the copy won't play on either
of my DVD players (I got a japanese one and a PS2), but will play on my
computer.
eg. the big files must be split, so I did this to two movies (25th Hour and
Bourne Identity). The first disk of 25th plays problem, but the second wont
play. The Bourne Identity wont play at all (only on comp.). Both files are
avi. The only difference between the files that I can see is that the data
rate is slightly different. Other than that, video compression is DivX, I
have the codecs. No problems there.

Anybody know what the problem is? I don't want to waste another DVD!

avi don't play on home units. Get a RW to play.

Then why do have about 7 other avi files that will play on my home unit no
problem?

I can not remember (as I have not used Ner Vision Express for a long
time)... but how do you specify what bitrate to use to encode the AVI to
MPEG2 when making the DVD? See if you can find that setting; then manully
set values to see which work for your player. Some players cannot handle
very high bitrates or some other unusual bitrate ('variable' for example).
The constant bitrate of 3 to 8 Mbps for DVD should always work.

Use a RW disk for experimenting with different bitrates. Also see the
www.videohelp.com for compatibility of your player with different media.

I use Nero 6.3.xxxx, and AVI's do not play on Home DVD systems(They must be
RE-ENCODED)... Nero or NVE or NVE2, will re-encode the AVI to DVD or VCD or
SVCD so that you can play them on your home DVD player... (I do first cut
the movie(s) on -RW to make sure it plays correctly on my DVD player... some
times the FRAME Rate is set so that the Player will not send.... You might be
cutting in PAL not NTSC (many players will not play both) some players will
not play SVCD but will play VCD & DVD.. (Ref: Bourne Identity was (over the
internet) sent as VCD and (S)VCD from DVD rip). w/o the proper CODECs
installed you can not RE-ENCODE properly.

Rehan, your advice helped me out alot. ..but I've got this problem with
all of the IMAX files I've downloaded, in that I can't get any of them to
burn. They start fine, then Nero locks up the recording at 9m46s. Then it
stops responding when I abort the process. The other files burn no problem.
WTF? I've monkeyed around with the settings, but I don't really know what the
problem is.
