LOL mine is purple because I changed the skin.

Contact Nero it sounds like a problem with their program. Make sure you have their "Info Tool" downloaded as well. They will want that report.

I wish I could help you more, but it is very difficult to remotely diagnose someone else's computer.

 

now that's super embarassing.... arrrgh!! i tried updating it but no luck.. i dunno what is it i did wrong.. you know on ur first step?on the application section on the left, it shows nerovision express? for some funny reason, the application section on the left doesn't show nerovision express on mine..

I know you won't believe this because I am SUCH an idiot on a computer -- but I can use NERO and make DVDs!! OH MY!!! I haven't done it in a while but my computer-geeky b/f taught me so he wouldn't have to do them for me anymore!!! Its a great program!!!

You are going to have to contact Nero then. I bought Nero Ultra 6 and it came with Vision Express 2. I then updated it to Vision Express 3 on their site.

Yes, it is VERY easy to use and the results are great.

I do these tutorials hoping that people will try it. Once they try and see how easy it is hopefully, some of the "mystery" and fear around computers will fade.

 

Oh hey mtlandis!! I FINALLY DID IT!! i managed to get nero vision express to work.. i reinstalled the latest from Nero.. and uninstalled my Ultra 6, and got premium 7 instead.. so i managed to get my first DVD going!! HURRAH.. again all thanx to you.. i wouldnt have done it without your help..

One little problem now, u mentioned u could put in 3-4 eppies.. I only managed two.. And the odd thing is, despite the fact that they are all 700mb, the second dvd i tried making, wouldnt even let me put in 2 eppies.. so i was wondering how would i be able to overcome the problem? i kinda expected to be able to put in 3-4 eppies as well.. or the very least 2 eppies.. what's wrong?

I was going to give you karma for finally getting it - but you have your karma disabled. Anyway - Congrats!!!!!!

Now about putting more episodes on the DVD. Try this, go ahead and add the 3rd episode. You should get a dialog box that pops up and says something like do you want to use SUper Long Play. You want to click Yes. That will then enable you to continue adding episodes.

I am not at home right now so I can't do any screenshots for you. However, if you look on Nero's site they do have some very nice guides to help you with all this.

 

Pop quiz: Do you know why it's called Nero ?

I don't know Jamie - Why is it called Nero?

 

Its full title is "Nero - burning Rom" - a pun on "Nero - burning Rome", which all you cultured people would have noticed

From the blurb:

"The program's name is intended to be a play on words. Recording CDs and DVDs is often known as "burning", and the infamous Roman Emperor Nero is said to have played his fiddle as Rome burned. This pun is more obvious in the original German as the German name for Rome is Rom (a literal English translation would be Nero Burning Rome)."

Ah I get it - not that I care - but I get it.

Karma for that useless bit of info.

Ahahahah that useless bit of into was funny! Oh mtlandis, i will try the method u taught me, i now know why when i tried fitting in a few before it did not work.. In fact, i wasted on dvd.. I clicked no instead of yes.. STUPID ME!! I will try to do it once i have merged the subs of another another 1-2 more files to test putting it into the dvd.. Thanx! hmm.. i will enable the karma thingy..thanx for reminding me..i may have accidentally disabled it..

Ok - Good Luck! Make sure to stop by and let me know how successful you were.

Ps. I gave you some Karma.

 

hey! u simply cannot belive this!! It din't work!! i actually tried burning 3 eppies onto one dvd..and it showed burning successful.. but when i tried opening it on the dvd player,it displayed 'no disc' then when i tried it on my laptop, and tried to open it, it didn't show any trace of any files on it!! so weird!! I am going to try burning on the same dvd again and see!

It is possible the DVD was bad. That happens once in a while.

Also - check your DVD player. No disk usually means it doesn't recognize that format. i.e. you are using DVD-R's and you player only reads DVD+R.

 

well i tried burning again on the same dvd just to make sure the dvd has gone bad, and the same results appeared.. I got worried that my dvd writer broke down, so i am now using the writer to burn some data on the normal nero burning rom..

My writer works for both - and + ... so i don't think it's the writer.. I am just curious as to how it happened..i remembered using the super long play u suggested..and did the things u advised me to.. But it did not work! hmm.... i will try again on a brand new dvd.. after i test my writer is working fine!!

oh i am just about to try burning again.. just before starting to burn, i clicked write, and then this prompt appeared, 'the directory you selected already contains a VIDEO_TS directory. All VOB, BUP and IFO files will be deleted. DO you want to continue?' Yes or no?

sometimes the "no disc" error also could mean that brand of disc is just not compatible with your dvd player. if you haven't burnt anything on those dvds before and watched it then it's a possibility. also nero sometimes has issues "completing" dvd burns. you may want to try to update it - the website does offer some updates generally.

I think I know what your problem is!

Take a look at this pic:
 

Are you sure when you get to this point you are choosing your burner? If you are choosing the Image Recorder, you are simply copying the files to the computer NOT burning them to DVD.

Also, as you burn - is the "green" light on the front of the DVD drive lighting up?

 

ooooOOOOOOoh i think i missed that step..aah let me try again...i didn't choose the settings!! D-U-H... oh so does this mean i can still use the dvd again?

angelblaze wrote:

You should be able to as nothing was done to the DVD if you were sending the file to the image recorder.

 

yaaaay i managed to finally get the time to do it!! this morning i tried doing it.. it was OK!! i maanged to put three in one dvd.. altho i could have put in 4 but i figured it would be better quality to put in 3? thank you!! i was wondering, all this time when i have been burning to the image recorder, what have been doing? what is image recorder?and have i taken up space on my pc by doing that?

Congrats!

Try searching your PC for those files in the image recorder. You will might find them. Then you can delete them.

 

hmm i tried searching for the folder 'image recorder' but i couldn't find it.where could it most likely be...

I think the default place NERO stores the files is in your My Documents folder.

hmm i can't seem to find it.. nothing the mydocuments fodlers to indicate big files there

angelblaze wrote:

Well then don't worry about it. Maybe it was created in a temp folder.

 

that means, there is no permanent usage of my harddisk space?

Just to be sure you could try searching this way:

*.vob That will seek out any DVD files on your machine. If this search comes up empty then it is safe to say, the files no longer exist on your machine.
