Title: NERO Help
Post by: EScott on May 04, 2004, 06:29:27 PM

I just dowloaded the latest version of NERO to burn some DVD's.  I added the files, click next, and then the "BURN" icon will not work.  Any ideas or suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

hit the nero button and that should help
to make a video dvd choose video on the left side, then put all the files into the video_ts folder

Hit the NERO button, added the files to Video TS, and still nothing.

that brand seems to be picky about what media it takes, might want to try a different dvd brand

I should be good with the disc format.  I sent a message into NERO as well - they may come back with something as easy as what you suggested.  Thanks for your help.

i always try to stick with dvd-r media cuz i've never had a problem with it.  also, i've had good luck with every brand found at your local computer (best buy) store.  When i got some off the internet, they didn't work and they looked very cheap.

i've heard that dvd media has to go thru a lot more testing than cdr media, so any brand should be good quality. its more of a matter of just finding something that works in your dvd players and your burner.  i've had success with memorex, fuji, tdk, and even cheap compusa dvd-r's.  all work in my dvd player and my xbox.  the compusa discs didn't work so hot in my friends older sony dvd player.

With a new install of Nero I always had to run that DriveSpeed program w/ it or whatever before it even recognizes my burner.
