Hi

Hoping someone can help. I am having trouble burning a few AVI files in Nero. I hadnt been able to burn any dvds for a while. I thought it may have been the discs I was using but I recently updated the hardware and this allowed me to successfully burn dvd files. Trying to do this with AVIs I had no such luck. After encoding I get an error message saying it cant burn it to this disc.

I assure that I am not using as CD-R as the error tells me (Compilation cannot be written on that medium type.(Medium in drive: DVD-R. Medium required by compilation: CD-R/RW.)
I have also tried a different DVD-R. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Post the log of a burning session.

Alternatively, save the output from the Nero conversion to the hard drive instead of burning immediately.
Burn the video folder using Imgburn.

The link includes a guide to burning the video folder using Imgburn.

Hi again

Here is the log from it. It seems to say that it requires a CD-R not a DVD R. I definately pressed video complication not audio compliation. I swear other times it had failed and sais that I had a CD-R in the drive. anyway any help would be great.

While not ideal, if i burn it as an image - wil i then be able to watch it as a DVD?

thanks

It says you opted for a VCD, not a DVD.
Are you certain that you are choosing to create a DVD Video?

Thanks, I had selected video cd because it said creates a video cd from your video files that can be played on most DVD players. I assumed this was the correct one to burn AVI's as when I tried the DVD video file option I only have the option to select files that end in bup,vob or ifo, and not the option to add AVI files.

what am I doing wrong? should I be able to add avi files to a DVD video project?

thanks

If your standalone player is DivX certified it can play AVI files that have simply been burned to a CD or DVD as data files.
An example might be a file that is 700MB, this will fit a regular CD.

If you wish to burn a group of AVI files to a data DVD, then you can add up to 4 GB of data.

If you are using an XP machine, burning a data CD can be done by the copy and paste method to the disk - note that XP cannot burn data to DVD's directly - the free program 'ImgBurn' can do this.

If your player cannot handle AVI files directly, then you have the option of converting to a VCD or movie DVD format.

The VCD format uses CDs and the running time cannot be more than 80 minutes (just like an audio CD).

A DVD disk has a larger capacity and holds two hours of running time easily and could be pushed to four hours (with a further loss of quality).

Creating VCDs and movie DVDs needs a program like Nero.
