All,
Thank you for reading my post.

I am having trouble burning disks with Nero.
If I create a DVD by transcoding an AVI or MPEG file everything works
perfectly well. For this, I use Nero Vision Express. However, when I
try to take the contents of a VIDEO_TS folder, which so many are kind
enough to post here and elsewhere, and place those files onto the
project I get a successful burn but a DVD that will not play in any
player I have access to.

The file structure is just as one could wish. The files play
perfectly well from my hard disk.

If I take the steps to transcode from VIDEO_TS to MPEG then transcode
back to DVD via the above mentioned method all works well excepting a
certain loss in quality.

Please advise what I should do for a successful burn.

Regards.
Nero Burning ROM version 6.6.1.15

DivxToDVD converts your movie files from a wide range of formats
(AVI,
XVID, MPEG, and DIVX) to compliant DVD structures (VOB and IFO).

After you have made your VIDEO_TS folder containing the VOB, IFO and BUP
files what setting do you use in NeroExpress to burn this folder and
contents to DVD? ie DATA or DVD videofiles

Thank you, Sir.

Actually, I download a VIDEO_TS folder from a.b.dvd.movies et al and
then start Nero not in express but in full. I sellect new DVD-Video
and Nero already has a template for VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS.

I ignore, as you know the AUDIO_TS folder and simply copy and paste
the contents of the downloaded VIDEO_TS folder to the one Nero
provides. The folders look the same on both panes and I burn the
project with no errors then the disk is not readable.

However, if I transcode the downloded VIDEO_TS folder into a single
AVI, MPEG, WMV, etc then use Nero Vision Express to create a DVD it
will play perfectly well but is obviously not so clear as it was in
its original format.

I've tried both region free and region 1. I've made sure the disk is
NTSC not PAL.

I feel there is something so amazingly obvious that I'm missing early
on that is screwing it up. Maybe so obvious that those of you trying
to help me are assuming that I'm doing it right.

Thanks

Okay if you downloaded a folder that contains vob, ifo and bup files all you
do is use NeroExpress (not NeroVisionExpress) select DVD video files and
select ADD then select the downloaded folder, no need to copy and paste then
press Finish then burn. You are not authoring this has already been done by
the fact that you have the VOB, IFO and BUP files.

If you are dealing with MPEG or AVI or WMV files then you do need to use
NeroVisionExpress to author the program in the process creating the VOB, IFO
and BUP files.

I hope I have understood your post correctly and I'm not telling you how to
suck eggs!!!!!

That was indeed the fix. Thank you very much. I still can't see a
difference between the disk I created with Nero and the one I created
with Nero Express but that was the fix. The two disks seemingly have
the same number, name, and size of files. Obviously there is something
different in one or more of the files or their relative positions.

Cheers!

BTW I've always loved the phrase about sucking eggs. It reminds me of
reading C. S. Forester when I was a boy.

I think you would need to go to www.videohelp.com and post your question re
why DATA and DVD Video Files is different. It has something to do with the
disc
architecture (not the physical disc) but the way the information is laid
out. But someone else with the technical knowledge could answer.

This last comment is correct. DVD Video discs have a very specific track
architecture!
