From Hard Drv to TV

[Goldrock]

Don't know if this is the correct forum, but correct me if I'm in the wrong place.
I have my cable TV hooked into my PC to which I record a sporting event to watch when I get home. Now I have tried to copy on DVD with Nero the event, which appeared to burn smoothly, but will not play back on my DVD player to my TV set.
Am I doing something wrong?

What format do you record in?

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)


**If the combined file size of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress


If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode - Tutorial Located here on how to do this: http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...453#post221453
