hello. i'm having a few problems that i hope someone can help out with. i'm trying to burn a movie,i have it on my hard drive. when i go to Nero to start the proccess,i get a messege saying that the file is too big. as i understand,Nero recode which came with Nero 7 package,is a tool to shrink the entire file down so it can fit onto a blank dvd(verbatim 4.7gb). so anyway,i go to Nero recode and at the title screen i go to compile dvd,then import files then locate the files i want. i open the folder that contains the movie file,and nothing. when i know there is the file there,cuz i have watched it using vlc. do they have to be in some special format first/different folder? what gives??????????
if you need and more info,please ask. thank you in advance.
Hi c_howorth
What format are the files in? Like .avi, .wmv, .dat?
Sounds like they are not in a dvd video complaint so to use Recode they would need to be.
Convert them 1st w/ Nero Vision - will also try and fit the files to disc. If they are still to big then you can save to your hard drive in Vision then open them in Recode to compress and fit.
Here's a guide for Vision:

You may be using the wrong option with Nero Recode...if you already have the DVD ripped to your HD, then instead of "Compile", either choose option 1)Recode Entire to DVD or 2)Recode Main Movie to DVD
I use recode and always choose "Main movie to DVD", then import the file, then I also trim the movie. It takes out the credits at the end and some of the beginning. I know I don't need to see those parts so, I leave them out.
I doubt it helps you out but that's just how I do it.
