I have years of movies and stuff recorded off the TV to VHF tapes and wish to transfer it all to DVDs playable on the TV.
PROBLEM #1:
Using an ION vcr2pc, I transferred a couple of movies to my PC. then, burned them to a DVD (Memorex DVD-R). When I tried to watch them on TV, the screen said "unknown disc-check disc again" Waited a few hours and tried again - same message.
Also, these movies (recorded by me) do not have video-TS file attached. I have a feeling this might be the problem. IF so, what do I do about it?
PROBLEM #2:
bought a VHF movie several months ago. Same procedure. This time it plays on the TV okay, but it has a little stutter. Has this anything to do with the burning speed (x8)?
As you can see, I am a neophyte! And, obviously, I need guidance.

A DVD movie disk must have a VIDEO_TS folder containing the required files.
A decent authoring program, like DVD Flick can do this and optionally burn the disk.
Load the output file from your device in DVD flick.
Under Project Settings, select NTSC or PAL depending if you are in North America or The rest of the world.
I doubt the stutter is caused by the burning speed - although you should play it safe and get some Verbatim brand disks that say 'Advanced AZO' on the package.

Attar: Thanks very much for your response. Tried DVD flick yesterday and again today. It got to Video Encoding 13% then closed my computer down - both times. Grrr.
