nickster Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hello. We have a laptop nearing end of life. It shuts down after 15 minutes or so. I think it could be overheating, but don't know. We have a video of my grandmother's funeral on the hard drive and want to transfer it to DVD. It's format is for the Corel WinDVD player.The files are: VIDEO_TS, VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_0.VOB, VTS_01_1.VOB I have read the manuals for Magic ISO, Nero, and Alcohol 120. I am confused about the process. Do I need to convert the video files into an image file (.mds) first? Do I use Nero in conjunction with either MagicISO or Alcohol 120, and if so, which program do I use first?? Can I do this in safe mode (since the computer shuts off, I want to minimize boot up time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can unscramble the format problem afterwards I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 To simply create a DVD using Nero ExpressMake sure you select the DVd-Writer option :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSponge Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 The easiest way to make a dvd is to use DVD Flick. It can turn any video file into a playable DVD. Easiest program I've ever used for making movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4may Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 You could use DVD Shrink to produce an iso image file and use this to produce a DVD that should play on any DVDplayer.DVD Shrink is Shareware :-http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_so.../dvd_shrink.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
