    convert MPEG video to DVD & Burn?

    Hello,
    I have an MPEG video (movie) on my hard disc that I would like to convert to a DVD. I have a burner and several software programs for DVD burning, but when I tried to burn the file onto a DVD, it only burned the first 2 - 3 minutes. The file is 810MB (1 hr, 21 min). Is there an easy way for me to do this? I would really like to get this file off my hard drive and onto a disc I can watch on my TV. Any suggestions?

    Try using TMPGEnc DVD Author (a different program than TMPGEnc) in which a trial version can be downloaded via the light blue link at the bottom of my post.

      One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

      1) If not already DVD-compliant, use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the MPEG to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this (This step may not be necessary, if your MPEG-2 filies are already in DVD compliant format)

      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 filesize 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
      (As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")
