I created a recording on my Sont handycam (w/ a hard drive)It recorded in mpg format automatically. I then imported it to my PC hard drive. I edited out all of the crap I didn't want and saved. When I attempt to burn a DVD using Nero as a video DVD I cannot select the file. I get an error message "incompatible format type". It is looking for .bup, .vob, and .ifo files.
I can burn it as a data file, but then it won't play on a DVD player.
How do I create the needed .bup, .vob, .ifo files from an .mpg file?
Attar,
I have tried Nero Express v6 and Nero StartSmart(?) v6 (OEM) to burn the DVD. But like I said, it's looking for .bup, .vod and .ifo files which I don't have. Is there a way to convert the .mpg into those other files?
I must assume then that you don't have Nero Vision 4 Or NeroVision Express.
Use this program to create a DVD compliant folder (it will contain the files you seek).
Attar,
It worked like a charm. Thank you. However, for some reason it duplicated the video file. I recorded a meeting of our Board of Supervisors. The guy that airs it on the local TV channel said that he needed it to play on a DVD playerr. Okay...so thats when I posted this plea for help. Now, instead of burning just one copy of the meeting, it burned two (back-to-back). Your conversion software created 2x .BUP files, 2x .IFO files and 6x .VOB files as listed below:
If you were using Nero Express to make a DVD Video, you would just click on (1)"Add", then highlight the (2) VIDEO_TS folder, click (3)"Add" and all the files will be brought in.
Then "Close" the folder.The order is not important.
