:D Nero it self is just "burning" software, i.e images, data, music, blah blah. If you have like Nero premium, or platium it will come with nerovision. Open nero vision up, select make a dvd, select dvd video, select add video, then select what video u want to encode to dvd format(TS video, vob). then nero will go through if u want to add menu, then various of things put a dvd in then in about 2 hrs you will have a burt DVD. Nerovison converts avi, etc. into "DVD Format". Some DVD players will play diffrent formates but more dont than do. There is of course of software but u mention Nero. Some people have mentioned DVD Shrink its a great tool but i use it copy DVDs. It allows u to select what u want on the copy, for example get rid of all the extras, all the extra subtitles so u can fit it on a single layer DVD without having to compress it so you dont loose any picture quality, or u can just compress it all and have all the menus , extras and what not but you give up picture quality. Just keep posting and we will get u burning like a pro

dvd shrink basically takes a dvd and shrinks it to fit a standard dvd-r, yes it has to decode it if its copy protected, and it does a great job.

Imgburn just burns the dvd image, which will not be an iso if I recall

I set up a special folder for my dvd shrink files to go to, there will be some vob files etc and a image file

then use imgburn to burn the dvd

But if you are also talking about burning avi or similar files to a dvd, this is not the same

dvd santa will encode those files back to vob, but quality is not so good

So Rampage your best bet is to get a nero package that has nerovison. I know everybody has throw a million names of software which most of them dont even transcode and stuff ,but being new to burning and copying nero is your best bet, start with it then you will learn, people say nero sucks, and nero slow, it hog CPU , well it doesnt "suck " that bad if yo are learning(but it really dont suck that bad) to transcode to dvd format(for example avi to vob) yea it going to take a whilesf but there is no superfast transcoder out there anyway. You will be able to do everything u want with nero trust me. Now copy dvds is a diffrent story. for a diffrent thread. You have to get your di*k wet to f*ck, so jump in you wont hurt nothing,

PS. burn the disc slow dont be in a hurry to burn them more than not that will cause burning errors, other than that nerovision walks u thorugh it.. .. <_<
