    Creating a DVD from video clips

    I downloaded some video clips and I would like play them on my DVD player. The clips play with Windows Media Player, but they are not recognized by Nero Suite DVD burning software. Do I just need to convert them?

    You can use TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6 to convert them to DVD files. Then I would recommend burning with ImgBurn. If they exceed the size of a DVD-/+R you may need to shrink them with DVDShrink.

      Hi jayclev,

      What kind of video format are your video files? Please open them with VirtualDubMod and check for File Information. If they are .avi files, you need to encode them to DVD compatible .mpg files and author DVD before being able to burn DVD with burning software

      Regards

          to use tmpgenc dvd author they must be mpeg-1 NTSC (not NTSCfilm or PAL) or mpeg-2. otherwise you must encode like ben said. it even has it's own burn engine.

            Ok, as far as the type of file, all I can see is that when I right click on properties, under type of file, it says: Windows Media Audio/Video file. So, is that mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 or what???

              What is the file extension of the files? Is it .avi, .wmv, .mov, or other?
