I was recommended to use this site by a few people for help, they said all the people are nice and friendly, so I joined and heres why...I have been trying to burn DVD's for months now, I have a built in DVDRW disk burner, I can copy disks fine, I have tried Nero to burn DVD's, it only allows me to burn .VOB files, I tried burning something with that, bing - didnt work. Sonic, I tried burning things with that, MPG AVI files etc. Didnt work, said something about audio. Tried DVD clone, didnt work. I used Intervideo WinDVD Creator, it worked, BUT, I could only have one file on a disk, I tried two, but it never showed up, plus when I tried to change backround it messed up and I was forced to close it everytime! Annnnnd, when I finally got it to work, on my oldest dvd player(about 4 years old) it acted asif a region free dvd would work, and on my newer dvd player(about 1 and a half years old) it said, it cannot play this sort of disk, I tried to burn AVI and MPG files, on seperate disks, and I can't seem to convert, when I do it never does much, or there is no audio or something. I am very annoyed, I have tried all I can for this now, I literally give up, I am in desperate need for it to work. I don't have a clue what the problem is, I have the right disks and all.
Thank you for your help

I am *somewhat* of a newbie myself, just joined the forum today actually but have been able to burn quite a few movie DVD's successfully.
There are several really good "how-to's", not sure if you read them, but here's the short and sweet of how I do it:
first...
Put the movie DVD in the drive
Open up DVD Decrypter
Set mode to "file"
Click on the DVD to Hard Drive icon
this creates a c:\yourmovie\video_ts folder and files
now...
Open up DVD Shrink
click "open files" and browse to c:\yourmovie
wait a moment for the analysis
click on Backup!
select "ISO Image file"
a 4.7GB file will be created on your c: drive
finally...
open your favorite DVD burning program
select "burn data"
select that big ISO file
click "Burn baby burn"..
:)
The whole process takes me about 45 minutes, hope this helps some?

DanH, so did you ever get your DVD ripped into a 4.7GB ISO file?
I really have only used DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink, started with those two apps and they've always worked for me so I never used anything else.

@DanH627
Just what are you trying to burn, are these movie DVD's that you are trying to backup or are they files you dl from the internet?

Try the steps with DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink, how's that work for you?
And if you're trying to burn AVI or whatever you downloaded from the Internet, you don't need to "rip" or "decrypt" them, just import them into your favorite DVD burning program as video, and then burn.
Unless I'm not understanding your problem.

I appreciate your help, but I don't think you are understanding, well, or just read it wrong, try and read it again.
Thanks.

Dan. Have you looked at the Do You Need Help? Read this First!! thread found in the Newbie forum. I also had massive problems burning for some time. By going through this informative DVDBurning 101 guide, I was able to eleminate all of my problems.

Not sure what you mean by needing a "real" DVD burner, most people use internal "built-in" DVD burners.
Don't know what you have now, but you can get an HP dual-layer w/Lightscribe DVD burner 16x for around $99 or so.
(that's what I have and I love it..)

@DanH627 - if you gave us the name of your pc's burner, maybe we can get this sorted before you go buy something. Help us with some actual details and we can help you ?
