Copying Videos to DVD+r

syan

Hi All,

I need to copy some videos which i own (Divx files and my kid birthday videos)and want to play in my DVD player.

We have recently bought a Dell computer(Windows Vista) which came with DVD write drive. I thought it comes with software and tried to write videos and discs as i normally do for CDs on my laptop(windows XP) , but those are not playable on DVD palyer. When i drag and drop the videos on to DVD drive, it's giving me otions to slect from DVD Data or DVD Video and selected DVD Video.

Is there any free software you can recommend, i have googled a bit, but lots of them are available and not sure which is recommended for vista.

Not sure, what is the difference between DVD burner and DVD ripper?


Please anyone of you could help me?


Thanks.

DVD burning software is what you use to write to a disc using your DVD-writer drive.
DVD ripping software is what you use to take videos off a DVD you may have purchased so you can store these videos on the computer.

I would try using Nero to make your DVD:

a very very good program called VSO div-x to dvd , it will turn the files to dvd files then you can burn them (it also does avi etc etc)

don't know if its free (pirate bay rings a bell on this sort of stuff) i would highly recommend it
