If your dvd player plays divx movies, that's what you want to burn--you can get 4 divx movies on a standard dvd disc (1 GB each). On Nero, I use a recent version, just starting with the start smart since I'm finished with tweeking settings, and it works great. However, I quit fooling around with multi-session discs a long time ago after losing some data that way, and with blank discs cheap now, ít's not worth the worry.	RealBigDog (11623)
532247	2007-03-20 03:32:00	On the photo cd/dvd, I just burn them as a data cd/dvd and my dvd player reads them no problem. What DVD? The one on the PC I take it?? I doubt it'll work on a standalone dvd player. No you dont need anything special for menus. Thats what Nerovision has (u can make menus for DVDs u make up). Nerovision (if u have the right plugins) will most convert most formats to DVD format (even Divx). Then whatever you burn with it, will play in a standalone dvd player.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

Thats what Nerovision has (u can make menus for DVDs u make up). Nerovision (if u have the right plugins) will most convert most formats to DVD format (even Divx). Then whatever you burn with it, will play in a standalone dvd player. Yes, any recent standalone dvd player will read jpg's on a dvd, but they might need to be in the root directory of the dvd. Many recent dvd players will read divx files in the root directory, but they will need an .avi extension rather than .divx extension. Many recent dvd players also have usb and sdcard readers which will do the same.	RealBigDog (11623)
532249	2007-03-20 04:16:00	Yer I know most dvd players can read jpg. But depending on how u burn them to the dvd in the first place. They can be in any order u want or even in a slideshow. I know some not all dvd players can read divx as well. But nothing wrong with converting them to dvd format either. If u have a program to do it why not use it.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

However, I quit fooling around with multi-session discs a long time ago after losing some data that way, and with blank discs cheap now, ít's not worth the worry. I think we are talking about different items here. (1)The DVD player attached to my computer reads the Data disks no problem. (2) The DVD player attached to our TV will not of course read them. (3) As I mentioned in my last entry I really have no interest in copying films. I just haven't much interest anyway in films. The thought of having 4 films on one DVD fills me with horror. (4) I don't see much point in using NERO to burn disks as it is extremely unreliable, just doesn't burn everything it should, and apparently will only burn the disk once with most people whereas formatting the disks and just dragging over (I always use TOTAL Commander) is extremely rapid safe and reliable - and multi sessions work perfectly - so far I have not been able to find a fault on any of my files (I may live to regret that statement). (5) I assume when you mention multi-session disks you are meaning RW disks. After all all disks are capable of multi session (unless using NERO). I do know my experience with RW CDs was horrendous and so I intend never to try DVD RW disks. Like you I will use 'write once' disks only. (But multi session). I must admit being able to turn out DVD disks that could be used on an ordinary DVD player attached to a TV would be quite something - but am a bit dubious as to its possibility. Tom	Thomas01 (317)
532251	2007-03-20 07:10:00	(1)The DVD player attached to my computer reads the Data disks no problem. Most should thats why most have internal DVD players. They SHOULD read cd and dvd. If it doesnt it has a prob. (2) The DVD player attached to our TV will not of course read them. Well it wont read them if u do data dvds or cd's. They werent made to read them, only movies thats are on dvd, audio cd's and maybe picture cd's. Or whatever format/s it supports. It also depends on WHAT kind of burner you have. Even the videos I burn to DVD dont work on EVERY standalone DVD. I think this has something to do with bitsetting. (3) As I mentioned in my last entry I really have no interest in copying films. I just haven't much interest anyway in films. The thought of having 4 films on one DVD fills me with horror. Depending on how big the videos / whatever u burn to DVD, you wont get 4 films on DVD. Unless you have one of the latest burners. (4) I don't see much point in using NERO to burn disks as it is extremely unreliable, just doesn't burn everything it should, and apparently will only burn the disk once with most people whereas formatting the disks Nothing wrong with Nero. If u do it right it'll work. Thats why theyre called CDR and DVDR. They werent made, so u can format them over and over again. Thats what the RW's are for. If you prefer Total commander whatever it is go for it. I must admit being able to turn out DVD disks that could be used on an ordinary DVD player attached to a TV would be quite something - but am a bit dubious as to its possibility. As I said above, it depends on what kind of burner it is, as not all burners support bitsetting. This is what determines whether it will work (the DVD you burn) on every single DVD player. I've never had a prob with Nero, and yup, I've come across a few DVD's I've done, that wont work in all DVD players. BUT all of them have played on the DVD player here. And,I would say no matter what program you use, I doubt every single DVD u burn, would work in every single standalone DVD player. Well it may do if the burner supports bitsetting.

QUOTE] I get the feeling that there are a great many people out there not familiar with Total Commander so perhaps a short description of it could be helpful. It is a program that does what EXPLORER is usually used for. The difference is that it has two screens side by side. Selecting what each screen uses as its basis (ie drive a c d e f g i - that's what I have) is a doddle. It has many menu driven tools also. At one time it was known as WINDOWS COMMANDER and may still be available on some shareware sites under that title. Dragging and dropping files from one drive to another is amazingly simple. Being able to see instantly what is on any two drives is a great plus. Every single person I know who uses it (and there are a lot) rates it as indispensable - miles better than anything else and one of their most used and best programs. I couldn't live without it and when I get my laptop back from having its faulty hard drive replaced TOTAL CMDR will be the first program I put back on it. I must also boast a little. My laptop was fully backed up when it went down so the replacement will come back to me as a computer virgin. Great fun putting everything back Tom	Thomas01 (317)
