copying divx,mpeg to dvd

[wak10]

hi im new to all this so can someone please help.
im trying to burn converted divx and svcd to dvd.
i encode it in nero ten use nero express 2 to burn it but it starts TRANSCODEING it first but it then uses all my hard drive space and then just stops when i get low on space and that leaves me with a half burnt wasted disk.
but my memory on my hard drive is 28.1G.
and it uses all of it!
surely it shouldnt use all that space?
please help!
or is there a better program to use for this sort of stuff?
THANK'S

What operating system are ye using?
I'm thinking that if it's win98 say, it uses FAT32 file system which has a file limit of 4Gb.

Right click harddrive and "properties" and see if it says Fat or NTFS
for file system.

"or is there a better program to use for this sort of stuff?"


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

1) Use "TMPGEnc" 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" v.1.5.11.37 (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 (NOT "EXPRESS") to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")


For your SuperVideoCDs, you can simply load them DIRECTLY into DVDLab to create a "DVD package"
