DVD Burning Problems?

actually I'm on a laptop, and I got the free version of nero for now

my recordnow that came with it is only a partial version, n this versionon mine doesnt have DVD-burning capabilities

I was going to post about this, but used the Search and hit this thread. I had similar problems with three DVDs in Nero Burning ROM. When I went to copy the contents of the Video_TSO folder into the to-be-burned pane, I got a message that the VOB and IFO did not agree. It still allowed me to burn the DVDs, but though the images played they had no sound. A third DVD, at the same step, noted that the video file reallocation had failed - this disc just loaded a frozen image.

In all three cases, I was able to use NeroVision Express and load the VOB files into projects and then create my own menus, and the resulting DVDs play and sound fine. So, I guess that's something of a workaround.

Has any one seen this VOB vs IFO disagreement message?

I'm new at this and I'm wondering how to properly burn this Sting DVD I just got off of Traders Den. What type of DVD do I need and what burning method do I use to rip this onto my DVD? Thank you so much if anyone can help me out.

Damn, I hate to say yes and then not have a solution. But there's a fix for it... let me see if I can remember it. The site it was on doesn't seem to exist anymore. I got the fix from the forum site that went with Savage Jaw and I don't remember what it was called but Savage Jaw is no longer a BT site and doesn't seem to link to the other site... maybe I have my registration email saved... no I don't see it.

It was something like copying the .bup file and changing the extension to .ifo, replacing your original .ifo file. You can always try it. Back up your originals first.

There are a few ways you can go about this, i will give you the way i do it, which entails you burning two copies: one to archive/trade with [data disc] and one to watch on yer standalone DVD player [DVd-Video disc].

DVD-Video [watchable copy]:
1. open Nero Burning ROM. Choose "DVD" as yer disc and "DVD-Video" as yer project format, then Click "New" to open up yer new project.
2. Select *all* of the files from the Sting show's "Video_TS folder" [all .ifo, .bup, and .vob files] and drag them to the "RED Video_TS folder" in the new project's window [left side of Nero window]
3. Click Burn...

Data Disc:
1. open Nero Burning ROM. Choose "DVD" as yer disc and "DVD-ROM (UDF/ISO)" as yer project format, then Click "New" to open up yer new project.
2. Select the Sting show's Root Folder [main folder with all contents in it] and drag it over to the Project window.
3. Click Burn...

Store the Data Disc away for copying for future trades, and use yer DVD-Video for watching. There are other ways which someone might share, but i find this to be the best method for trading.

also, re: "what kind of DVD?" i'm guessing you mean DVD+R or DVD-R? it doesn't matter, other than you need to check: a) does your DVD Burner support both formats, and b) does yer standalone DVD player play both formats. which you should use will be based on those two answers.

you might wanna check over at http://www.videohelp.com for some fixes/explanations... also if the Phish torrent you had problems with is still active, see if anyone else has had a similar issue when trying to burn.

I have a Plextor INternal PX-708A DVD Burner, and its up to 8x. But the thing only ever really burns at 1x. I have used a bunch of different media, and even with TY's it will only go up to 1x.


Any ideas?

firmwares updated?
is it a slave to another drive?

I've had a plextor writer on a computer that i don't have anymore, but i know there was a place in the options or settings to set the speed. Look around in the menus, it's there.

[thisistoto]

Its the master and has a slave


I will check on the firmware thanks.

[saltman]

sounds like bad media to me. or it is really slave.
can it play dvds fine?

[thisistoto]

YEa it plays dvd perfectly. And im 100% sure it isnt the slave.

Is it connected to a harddrive?
You shouldn´t connect harddisks and optical devices together.
