nero and divx...

[cmdavid]

ive just started using Nero and I was wondering what type of compilation I would use to burn a divx movie onto a cd.. like a data cd pretty much I guess... would it be cd-rom ISO, video cd, super video cd, cd-rom boot, cd-rom hybrid, cd-rom udf, or cd-rom udf/iso??

 

[RaoulDuke]

just a regular old data cd (ISO)

 

[cmdavid]

thats what i thought originally.. then i burnt one and for some reason my computer won't read the cd.. it just says "please insert cd into g drive."

 

[RaoulDuke]

did you make sure it that it wasn't multisession? the defaults should work fine

 

[N8Magic]

Depends on what you want to do with it...

 

[cmdavid]

no multisession?? the default is start multisession disk....

open it w/ a media player...

 

[RaoulDuke]

well on mine it's no multisession, if it's multisession you have to make sure to close the disc, but with divx since it's ~700mb anyways just burn the whole thing no multisession DAO.

I have never used any options. I just use the wizard, create a new data CD, drag the files over, and burn.

Sounds like you may have burned a coaster the first time. Did it give you any errors?

 

[cmdavid]

alright.. cool. thanks a lot...

nope.. no errors... what wizard are you talking about?? and is it usuppsed to use so much of the systems resources... I can't even listen to winamp when its burning or reading.

 

[RaoulDuke]

man do you have DMA enabled on your ide channel, or is it scsi or what

 

[cmdavid]

dma...

Hmm... are you using a new version of Nero? If not, go and grab the latest version here..

It's free. When you first open the program, it will come up with a wizard. Use create data CD, drag the files over to the burning window, and burn away!
