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

I also use LG, no problem with 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...

Imgburn and Roxio both good softwares..

but still cant finish preparing my machine because of friends donald lappys..

wanna fix my PC?

send them over here

Can I send the OOF server? Need quick turn around, else everyone will be texting/phoning me non stop

 

  I can guarantee minimum 15 days of rest , if you close your phones

seriously never tought that you were that much in trouble :-/

If that's the express version (which it probably is), then ditch it and get the full version if you want to burn a movie DVD that is fully compliant.

PS

Forget all the 16x claims, the drive MAY reach that speed right towards the end of the burn - but it's never going to achieve anywhere near that rate in real life.

Besides, you don't want to go much faster than 8x - and only then if you are using quality media.

nero wouldnt burn the avi. said it needed to be converted first. so downloaded a programe to do that,

What program was used for the conversion/authoring?

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

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

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

be restarted 5 times :/

You heard it here first, KillerWatt and I agree on something .  I agree with him on all points above, except perhaps using the full Nero (sounds like she is not too good with computers, so Nero probably not best option imho)

WinAvi its called. found on google.

Always stick at same point in the burn?

WinAVI won't make a proper job of the conversion, hence Nero is stalling (the full version reports the actual errors, where as the castrated version tells you nowt).

Use ConvertX to DVD by VSO software, and it will work first time.

and this is the only software we need. this will do the burning too? or just the converting?

It will do the conversion, authoring (which is what WinAVI fails to do), and burn it back to disc so that you end up with a fully compliant movie DVD that can be played in ANY DVD player.

PS

Haven't got a clue whether you can convert/burn a full disc with the unregistered version of ConvertXtoDVD, but if you can't then PM me.
