dvd and videos
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2006 7:01 pm
I have a moderatly simple task to do and I've already wasted so much time with it...I'd be very happy if someone could direct me towards a good program to use. I don't mind even if a paying one.
Ok here's the thing:
I bought a dvd-recorder to record stuff from the tv. Now I have three of DVD-RAMs and some DVD-RWs with some movies on them.
I've also bought an Asus DRW-1608p2s DVD-writer for the computer two days ago, with a spindle of DVD+Rs with the TASK in mind:
Free up the DVD-RAMs, copy the videos - nicely arranged - onto dvd+rs.
With this Asus thing came the nero6 crap and an ulead disk creator (dvd movie factory) crap. The nero seems to be totally unusable for anything but writing some stuff on a disc - altho it has zillion options for it. The ulead seems to be ok, but it just does not do it. I've exported the videos, wrote them on the other disc - and the sound was left behind. Took me hours or so to get here. It somehow exports the sound into a separate file (mpeg-2 format) , but at writing it disregards it. Neat. It claims to be able to export in vmw but cannot. Probably the codec is missing...I've no idea it only creates a short 5MB file and no error given. And everything takes ages, I've yet to see a program working slower than this. Support is of course non-existent, asian (taiwan) company what else do we expect...
The movies are supposed to be dvd+vr format. What I dont' get is why it cannot be exported in this format and written to another disc...well, anyway.
All in all I'm pretty much fed up with the whole thing, and need help to find a suitable program to use before I lose my patience and step on something.
I appreciate any help. Thank you guys.
