Re: writing do the DVD Drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It builds two directories, video_ts and audio_ts. The movie files go into
the video_ts folder and the audio_ts stays empty. I them copy these two
folders to the DVD.

I don't believe you can just copy them and have the movie playable, I
believe you have to burn the contents of the Video_TS folder (.VOB, .IFO
and .BUP files) to DVD disk.

Actually, I prefer Roxio, just because I'm used to it. A former lawyer
prefers Word Perfect as his word processor, just because he's used to it.

As for DVD burning, I have an application that will take my movie files
and build the DVD file structure on the hard drive. I just want to copy
it to the DVD Media.

Thank you. With the costs of Blank DVDs, just thought I'd ask first.

Now that I've obtained a DVD Burner, can I do the same with the DVD
Burner? If yes, will it recognize a dual layer disk vs a single
layer. (Yes the burner is dual layer capable.)

No. You cannot "do the same" with the DVD burner - not from your
explanation of how you do it anyway.

Windows Xp does not natively support writing to DVDs. You need a
third party package.
