Burn DVD

Name: Anonymous 2006-12-11 2:41

Ive got 4 downloaded dvds that are in directory format... like instead of an ISO, i have all the VOB files of the actual dvd. what program is best for turning these into an ISO?

Anything. Just write the VIDEO_TS folder to a DVD like you would any data disc (and write the results to an ISO file instead of a physical disc if that's what you're after).

i did this and it didnt work... the ISO has no sound and the DVD doesnt play at all(not even in the computer)... any ideas?

DVD's are not encoded like Data Disc's at all!

I'm not sure if it's the file order (like VCD) or some kind of disc-format difference, but that sort of burning just won't work.

The good news is that there are a myriad of reliable progs (many are free and come with no hitches) for just this sort of situation. http://www.videohelp.com is where I usually go for these kind of tools. If you already have Nero (or for that matter any DVD burning software), just look around in the menus for a mode that says something like "Burn Image" or "Burn DVD Files"--yes, it is that simple. Unlike CDs where you have to use "Music" discs for Audio CDs, DVDs are all the same physically apart from the dye chemistry.

Speaking of dye chemistry... I recommend burning to DVD-R (dash) rather than a DVD+R (plus) for wider compatibility. Most DVD players today can play anything (-R, +R, -RW, +RW, and sometimes one or both DL types) but older units are more iffy. If that's the case, I recommend "+RW" for test-burning (to make sure it works right when played) and "-R" for the final product. Also, http://www.nomorecoasters.com has a nice index of disc quality by brand and manufacture. Sony and Verbatim and the best for "-R" discs, and you can get them off-the-shelf in nearly any store. DON'T USE STORE-BRAND DISCS!! TDK used to make excellent quality disc, but they started outsourcing about a year ago to CMagnetics--"cmags" are okay for "+R", but there "-R" disc are ready for the landfills.

Have fun!

the program im using has the burn image option. in fact, thats the only burn option. but i dont have an image. i have the DVD files in directory format. so im just looking for something that will turn this folder into an image. VLC media player has no problem playing the VIDEO_TS folder. but when i put that VIDEO_TS folder in an ISO, it no longer works properly. and when burned, doesnt work at all... all this being tested with VLC.

so, ill see if i can find something on that site for making an ISO... but if that wasnt what you meant, then i guess i have a different problem.
