trackrat Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Following pops advise I purchased Win Tv USB pro and it was so easy to get the VHS tape onto the hard drive.I have Nero 6 reloaded, the full version.When I tried to burn the M-Peg 2 file to disk, I clicked on DVD video and then clicked on the file and a warning came up, as this file is above 2gb select UDF to write such large files.I selected UDF and it was burned sucessfully, it will play in my computer but is not recognised on either of my DVD players.So where have I gone wrong, as I have never tried this before I need some help.

Scarecrow Man Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 UDF can only be read in a computer with the program that wrote the UDF disk.UDF allows you to edit and append files without re-writing the disk.You should not write as UDF.If you need to convert mpg, avi or other to DVD format, use Avi2DVD. Freeware, and excellent software.User guides are here: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/av...dvd_avi2dvd.cfmdownload is here: http://www.trustfm.net/divx/SoftwareAvi2Dvd.htmlEDIT: Oh.. It only does AVI. Can you convert your VHS to AVI instead?Here is a program that claims to convert mpeg to dvd : http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/...VDBuilder.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Just tried your second link, it says it will convert M-Peg to dvd but the free one will not so I do not fancy paying £20.00 to find out.Surely there is some way to do it with Nero?.

dadyassa Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I dont think there are any free AVI to MPEG2 converters. :( You should of got a stand alone dvd recorder and scarted it to your vhs.Just looked at nero vision express, in the capture video to hard drive, it looks like it should save files as mpeg2 which is what you need for dvd.

-pops- Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 The Win TV USB Pro comes with Ulead Movie Factory SE which will allow you to edit your masterpiece and burn to DVD.You don't need Nero but, it should be possible to burn a DVD using Nero Vision (unless your Nero is a cut down OEM version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Thanks pops, I have always used Nero so never even gave U-Lead a thought.It does the job well and so easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have hit a problem with U-Lead, it seems that any file over 3GB is a problem to burn to DVD.It got to 90% 0n the burn which was around 3gb and then up popped a buffer underrun failure.So I tried it again and now have two DVD coasters.Is there a burn limit in the U-Lead program.Just to clarify a point, I then used Nero Vision to burn the same DVD ( praying that it was not three coasters) And it burned it with no problems at all, which leads me to conclude there must be a limit of some sort in the U-Lead program.

trackrat Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Sorry for the confusion, the post above came from Trackrat, I am on my brothers computer and forgot to check if I was logged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I don't know about a limit on the U-lead program as I don't use it. In my previous post, I was just pointing out that WinTV comes with U-lead and, in the absence of you having anything else to write your DVD with, I suggested that.Are you saying now that you have got Nero to do it? Or are you using a combination of both U-lead and Nero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I used Nero to do it.When I upgraded my computer and re-installed Nero, I did not install Nero Vision, so I got the box out and installed it, and it does the job of burning the disk with no problem.I only used U-Lead to burn the disk, not for the the authoring properties.

jimv7 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Is your computer file system fat 32 or ntfs?A friend has just had this same limit he got over it by changing the computer file system to ntfs from fat 32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 It is NTFS, but thanks for the suggestion.I do not actually think it is U-Lead, as I was burning a 4gb movie to a DVD using Nero and just before the end it threw up an error.It was burned at 8X which is what the disks are. They are Verbatim Lightscribe disks so they are good quality.After making another coaster, I tried lowering the burning speed to 4x and success.So I burned the same one again using U-Lead at 4X and once again success. So although it says 8X speed, it has no problems if the speed is lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICK ADSL UK Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I have found that in using this website everything is covered for the conversion of all files ETC and that all of the software that you need is available here http://www.videohelp.com/tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have a 16 X burner but after making a few costers of DVD disk It was pointed out to me that for movies use as slow a speed as poss. I now use 4x with 16 x DVD blanks for movies and 16 x speed for music or data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Aye DJohn. I also have a 16x burner, which I use at 6x. It takes an average of 11 minutes to do a full DVD-5 (4.7GB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I also found burning slow to be best way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysun Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I also have a 16x burner and sometime back I tried using x6 speed to burn a full DVD, it was completed successfully, but DVD started gaving some problems. Burned a second one in x4 and it went fine. Since after that I never went more than x4. I think that's the better way to go with DVDs.

diablo Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Yea babysun I think you are right on that as even I have experienced the same thing but it was not with the DVD. I burn a lot of music CD’s for my console system and I found out that if I burn the CD’s at a lower speed it gives me better sound quality and efficiency compared to the cd’s which I used to burn on high speeds. I guess the same will apply for DVD’s as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
