How To: Burning DVD-VIDEO

[Dymond]

Sometimes when making a DVD using an authoring program or a conversion program where you don't burn directly to DVD, instead of getting a nice ISO image to burn you will get something like the folders on the screenshot below:

Don't Panic! You can use Nero To burn the DVD Using the DVD-Video Compilation.

Step 1: Open up Nero
Step 2: In the 'New Compilation Window Find DVD-VIDEO and click on it.
Step 3. Once its highlighted click the 'New' button.

Step 4: On the left hand side you'll see two folders, click the red VIDEO_TS Folder so its highlighted
Step 5: Notice that directly to right of that is now a blank window.

Step 6: On the right hand side is the 'file browser', use that to browse where the video_ts folder is on your hard drive.
Step 7: Once you found it, highlight it so the files inside the folder show on the right.

Now just sit back and wait for it to finish! Don't worry about the Audio-ts folder, from my understanding its a folder that is only used for Audio DVDs
