TV show episodes on dvd...

[dusty550]

I have a whole bunch of TV show episodes on my computer that are about 22 Minutes long, I wantted to put them all on DVDS, with an menu. How many would typically fit on one normal 4.7 GB DVD and still be read by a portable DVD player. If i just burned the files to a DVD 1 whole season would fill up the DVD size wise. I know it would be easier to buy the DVD of the series but its an old series and they dont have the dvds and no plans for them. Im not sure if this was clear but just ask questions and ill answer, The only thing i know how to do is a menu with 4 movies on 1 dvd...

I would convert no more then 8 episodes on a dvd. I have lots of of software to use to convert them to dvd, but nothing comes to mind that allows you create menus.

I use Nero vision 3 and usually put 6 episodes per dvd and it creates a menu

did about 75 or so dvds for my daughter episodes of chobits,invader zim ,sailormoon using cyberlinks power directors-ez producer might be what your looking for have also used roxio dvd builder in the past. each dvd sailormoon 4ep. about 3/4 full took 1 1/2 to 2 hr. convert and burn

Does Nero Allow you to customize the menu (EG. Put a name to each of the episodes in which they are called and the episode number, and a Background picture)? Ill Try Cyberlinks Power Director Thou, I've always liked their PowerDVD, Hopefully this will be as good.

I change the header and foot.
Episode titles are from the actual files.....so change them there.
I think you can do a background picture, I just customize the BG colour.

I cant find Nero Vision, I have Nero 6 (the ultimate version or what ever it was called). PowerDirector I looked thru and it didnt do what i wanted. PowerProducer Did but Its VERY confusing on how to edit the template (move stuff around etc...)

[Dr.Dan]

Best way to get to NeroVision is through the start menu; not Nero Smart Start.

Go to Start > Programs > Nero > NeroVision Express 3 > NeroVision Express

[dusty550]

ITs not their, Do they have a link for it on their website?

[Dr.Dan]

It's part of 'Ultra Edition'... maybe you didn't install it when you did the install...
I can't remember, but I know some parts are optional.

[dusty550]

No, I found the problem, the last time i updated my Nero was When sp2 came out to make it compatible again. I just had to update to the latest version and get the 2nd package their aswell... How much hard drive space do i need while it converts and I hope it doesnt use the drive its installed on for data... my C: drive is almost full and i cant remove stuff from it.

[dusty550]

Ok, It seems to work good im converting one now, its able to fit 5 episodes on 1 disc without risking quality change, Nero Vision is easy to use, And VERY easy to modify the template.... unlike other ones ive tried.

[Dr.Dan]

Glad you got it working.

You still should of had it from the original install though... but you have the latest version now, so all is good :)

Did you figure out where it saves the files and move it to someplace you have the room?

[dusty550]

Yes its all setup
