"i have nero 6, and find it leaves a wiggly line on bottom of screen on movies i burn"--townie2

townie2, yours is the only message I've found describing the same problem I had. In my case I'd call it more like fluctuating streaks or smears, a little like flickering flames, sometimes greenish, which would follow scrolling credits up the screen but usually stayed near the bottom. dvdSanta did eliminate the problem, but it's not as flexible for my purposes as Nero. If that's what you've got, here's what I did to eliminate the streaks but still use Nero:

I found that the streaks appeared (for me) only in a very specific set of circumstances, when I had used VirtualDub to process an AVI file and had cropped the top or bottom of the picture, and then encoded the video using the XviD codec. I found that the problem entirely disappeared when I used the 3ivx codec instead (<www.3ivx.com>). 3ivx's one restriction is that the picture height and width must both be even numbers--it won't encode a setting of 720x405, but 720x404 is fine. If you can live with that, I recommend you give 3ivx a try before giving up on Nero. Good luck!

I have nero 6, and still cant figure it out. i click on the dvd selection, but my only choice is burd dvd-video files, and it said the avi was not a supported file. am i doing something wrong?

It sounds as if you have the crippled, trial-only version of Nero. To burn an avi to a DVD you must use NeroVision or NeroVision Express, not Nero Express, which is accessed from Nero Burning ROM, a completely different program. NeroVision is unfortunately not available in the OEM trial-only version of Nero which is often included free with DVD burners and the like.

Len, Thank You. You have just explained to me why I hate Nero. I received that piece of sh*t with my DVD Burner and I could never get it to work. Every time I tried to use Nero Express, I was always hit with a Pop Up Box wanting me to upgrade to Nero 7.
Well as you can imagine that didn't do anything but Pi*s me off so I found another program that will do everything that Nero will do and then some and it's also less expensive. You might also guess that I will never recommend Nero to anyone and will try to discourage the use of Nero to everyone that will listen. What's the use of giving out that free piece of crap if it doesn't work?? Again Thank You for this info.

Hello, Experts

This is a new member. I have a question; I copied a movie DVD into my hard disk (the entire folder VIVEO_TS). Now, I'd like to burn it back to another DVD using nero, the DVD doesn't play. Why and how to make it play? Thank you!

Steelbird,

Dear lengoldstein

The info is very helpful, thanks!

It's just a little bit different from what I did, but maybe that little bit difference made me failed twice. Again, thank you!

By the way, I'm a member from SinoDefenceForum.com, you're invited if you've never been there. China Defence Forum | Military Air Force Army Navy Missiles Defense Oh, the two sites have very similar layout...

If you have Nero7 you can also use Nero Recode which will give you the option to completely recode the DVD to fit onto a DVD-5 disk

Just browse to the DVD folder you created when copying it onto your harddrive and then choose which parts you want on the new DVD and use "fit to disc"

a powerful program indeed.
but i would rather switch to more convenient to use programs of this kind.
thanks for sharing anyway.
