Here I am again. This whole dvd burning thing has got me in tears.?

Question

Why is it soooooooo hard? Can anyone suggest a site where a moron like me can go to get the basic steps of burning a dvd? I thought I had it knocked yesterday, but when I put the dvd into my pc dvd player, it kept saying no disc in player. I have no idea of anything abuot the pc dvd player as it was a refurb replacement from Dell, and came with no documentation. If anyone can send me to a tutorial site for learning to burn dvds from the very basics, I'll put you in my will. Which means, of course, you'll get my cat! LOL...

Answer 1

Copying Movies can be a slightly complicated process if you're not familiar with the programs used to do it. However, once you're accustomed to using the software, it's much easier.

So here's how to get started:

Burning DVDs with DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, and Nero.

Before you start, you’ll need to have the following programs installed on your computer:

DVD Decrypter

DVD Shrink
http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/

Nero (version 6.3 or higher recommended, which you can download from oldversion.com)
http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=nero

serial number for Nero 6.3

(Note: DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink are free online.)

(Note: Always try to use a new, unscratched DVD movie disc whenever making copies, as discs in poor condition may not copy, or will likely pass on glitches to the copy.)

It’s also recommended that you don’t run other programs while burning DVDs unless you have over 1GB of RAM or more.

Insert the disc you wish to copy.

Close any DVD player program that opens.

Phase 1

Open DVD Decrypter.

Click on Mode > ISO > Read

Now click on the folder icon that shows where the DVD file will be saved. Choose a folder.

Now click on File > Decrypt.

The process of making an exact copy of the disc to the hard drive should take approx. 30-40min. depending on the length of the movie and extra features.

When DVD Decrypter is finished creating the file, you can close the program and eject the disc.

Phase 2

Now open DVD Shrink.

Click on File > Open Disc Image

Browse for the file that you saved when copying with DVD Decrypter.

DVD Shrink will now analyze the movie for a minute or two.

Uncheck boxes for extra audio Languages that you don't need on the DVD

Click on the plus + sign by the Extras folder.
(This is where the bonus materials are on the disc)

To have higher movie quality, remove the extras by clicking on the individual files and selecting Still image/still images from the dropdown menu. (You can preview the extras if you want to see the clips before removing them.)

If you'd like to keep the extra features on the DVD, select the clip and change the dropdown menu to custom compression and lower it to about 50 or 60 percent for each extra.

Click on the main movie folder. If you've removed enough extras, or compressed them, the movie quality should be around 60-70%, the HIGHER THE BETTER.

Note: Target quality is about 65-70%, anything higher than 65%, and on regular size
TV's you won't be able to tell the difference between the copy and the original.

I personally either remove the extras or compress them to achieve the best quality.

If a movie is not too much over two hours, or doesn't have many extras, it will copy
closer to 100% quality.

Insert a blank DVD disc.

When you’ve achieved the quality setting on the main movie that you’d like, click on the Backup! icon.



Before clicking OK to start the burning, click on the Burn Settings tab and change the speed to 1 or 2 speeds lower than the highest available.

DVD Shrink will now compress the file that DVD Decrypter made and create DVD video files. Afterwards, it will automatically burn those files and the disc will be completed.

This will take about 20-30 min. to create the DVD video files and approx. 10-15 min. to burn onto the blank disc.

Answer 2

I don't know if I can help any but,
when I burnt some discs I kept receiving the same type of message it turned out I was using the wrong type of disc.
I am still a bit confused about the different type of discs.
CD/DVD/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM
Check out the type of disc your using
Good Luck
Have A Great Day!

Answer 3

Listen to Banjobarry- I had the same problem you did and tried his method and now I can burn just about any DVD I own!

Answer 4

i have been married two times earlier, so i do not care if i do not marry back, yet I received't say that I "received't" marry back...that is not any longer a precedence in any respect, yet i'd like to have someone to share my existence with... i have been unmarried for a lengthy time period now (the better area of the previous 11 yrs) so i'm gentle with it merely being me, if that's how something else of my existence is going...I truly have acquaintances and relations and pastimes, so that is under no circumstances boring (yet now and again it receives lonely)...
