Sony DRU-500A Buring Problem

[tiedyetoga]

I have the sony burner and I recently edited a video that I shot using Adobe Premiere 6.5.. I can't seem to figure out how to burn this to DVD. I converted the file to mpg2. Nero won't seem to burn it, file to large. But it's only 3 gigs. I can't figure out how to use that Record Now to burn a Video disc.. Thanks any and all input is appericated.

I thought I answered this, wonder where it went?

I recently burned a beta tape copy of a foot ball Super Bowl to a DVD and this is how I did it.
I captured the file (all 13 gig of it) with an ATI all in wonder capture board with a decoder board. That gave me this huge .m2v file. I then demuxed it with TMPGEnc. I then processed it with CCE to get it small enough to fit on a 4.7 gig disc. I had to use 150 1000 8500 for the Q figures to get it down to 4 gig. Then I renamed the audio file from TMPGEnc to .ac3 and authored it with SpruceUP. The quality left a lot to be desired but it worked. Now I have to do it again and this time use 3 DVD's so I can at least get beta tape quality out of it.
In your case most of this is unnecessary because the file is small so you can just convert it to .m2v, demux it and author it with SpruceUp or something similar and it should work fine.

There are ways to make them into a data disc instead of a DVD if you just want to watch it on a pc. Then you woudl not have to author it, etc. I guess I would just choose data disc on the wizard and process it from there, that should work. I back up my quicken files all the time on DVD's just by using the data disc option on the wizard.

Good luck with it...........

Thanks for your help.. I'm going to give that a shot.. I would really like to watch it on my tv.. I got it to work using Ulead DVD Movie Factory and making menus and what not.. I am still going to try those steps that you listed.. Thanks again..
