specifically, I have multiple files I want to burn to one dvd and be able to watch them on a normal dvd player and have a menu (like episodes of one season on one disc)

from what I understand that is pretty much impossible if you want it to play in a standard DVD player. You could do it but the quality would be so bad you couldnt watch it. I have been able to fit three or four hours on a disk and it still be ok though. I just used DVDflick, its pretty simply.

I burn many of my *legal movies* with convertx 3. The quality is great (but dependent on the source, of course) and you can make fully customizable menus.

related question
i just used anydvd and clonedvd...

the dvd finished burning...but the dvd is blank? i put it back in the disc drive and it says it is a blank dvd.
why didn't it write? any suggestions? the process of writing went through...and it ejected when finished...but says the dvd is blank

now i tried using roxio to copy the dvd
it copied the dvd to the harddrive and then asks me to put in a blank DVD
i put in a blank DVD+R and it keeps ejecting it and saying to check to see if it is compatible or something?

i've tried 2 different methods to copy a dvd now and neither work. what do you guys use?

I use dvdshrink to shrink it to fit on one dvd and make an iso file which I burn with imgburn.

9/16/2008 11:05:51 PM

does imgburn go ahead and make the video_ts and audio_ts folders or do you have to do that custom?

are you using dl dvds, if not you have to use dvdshrink to make the movie fit on one dvd unless it is already 4.3 gbs. In the options you can set dvd shrink to create an iso, then use imgburn.

Magic DVD Creator for stuff like making menus, adding my own files, things of that nature.
Magic DVD Copier for ripping off the stuff I get from Blockbuster Total Access.

I use imgburn to copy the video_ts folder to a dvd...

it only works about half the time b/c it hangs and freezes once it gets to the "verify" portion of the burn.

what other software can I use to make the dvd once I have the video_ts and audio_ts folders on my hard drive?
