DVD Writing: 6 Tips for that Perfect Burn

Posted by on 08/11 at 03:06 PM Permalink

For many, DVD writing (or “burning,” as it is commonly called) can end up being an expensive trial and error process, especially when burning video for playback on set-top DVD players. This Tech Tip is intended to eliminate the need to spend that hard earned money in order to achieve that “perfect burn.” Please note, as with many things computer-related, many people hold strong opinions of certain subjects, and this is definitely one of them. This tip simply enumerates what we have found to work for many people. While this Tech Tip deals largely with DVD video playback compatibility, we at Geeks.com encourage you to use your DVD burner responsibly and to observe all copyright laws for the area in which you live.

  1. I sometimes watch avi and other files on my standalone dvd player by way of the following method:
    1. I load a CDR/RW/DVDR/RW
    2. I launch Nero
    3. I select burn DATA to CD/DVD
    4. I select the video files
    5. I burn the files at low speed

    I then enter the dvd into my player and, if I’ve burned five files, four of them work perfectly.

    I was speaking to a friend and he said there is something wrong with this method - there are much better ways, he said - but I cannot understand what I am doing wrong. If I chose to burn them as a VCD the player automatically allocates a larger file size than the CD will take and burns the CD in about two hours and a half, and on a dvd, I cannot keep multiple video files on my media in this manner.

    Please tell me exactly what I am doing and what is so wrong about it?
