its my friends computer, she has just bought a brand new LG drive, and is using the nero software that came with it. attempting to burn a 700mb AVI movie, that has been converted to DVD format (vob files etc) as nero wouldnt burn the avi direct. have confirmed that the DVD files will play, by opening the VOB file in powerDVD player thingy

so you're just burning the vobs and associated files, not getting nero to convert on the fly?

I would say it is a software issue, Nero is poo to be honest, I use convertxtoDVD much quicker, could also be a codec issue if they haven't been updated, google k-lite and install the full pack

Never ever ever ever ever install those gay codec packs. They are bodged together by idiots, and install too much conflicting junk.  Windows media interface is flakey enough on its own, without hacked about junk being thrown on it.

K-lite I haven't had an issue with but I have used others that are a nightmare to deal with

K-Lite is one of the worse of the well known ones. Clearly packaged by somebody with a lonely brain cell.

When it comes to the Windows Media interface, minimalism is the goal for stability and performance.

For XP and Vista, ffdshow is probably the only additional codec you need, maybe a hardware accelerated one for mpeg2 (eg Cyberlink).

For W7 users, no real codecs needed for the vast majority of formats.

nero wouldnt burn the avi. said it needed to be converted first. so downloaded a programe to do that, took 30 mins or so to convert to the vob files etc. then started to burn that in nero

The full version of nero has its place, but its not a tool I use any more.

Like Martin Imber, I use imgburn to burn img/iso/nrg formats. Imbgburn is freeware.  I use Roxio's Creater Basic for other stuff, namely because I have a licence on each of my laptops and on my desktop for it, included when I bought them. And it works perfectly on Windows 7.

Very rarely do I need to use anything else...

If its suck at 10%, its crashed. Nero does that quite a lot.  Try the burn again.
