burning questions

hi, don't know if this is the right place so move it if its not, anyway...

my situation is a unique one indeed so i'll just explain it as best i can. i have downloaded several episodes of stargate and want to transfer it to my other computer to burn because my other computer has the dvd-burner, but my other computer can't play the files as in i can hear the audio but not see the video and yes i'm pretty sure i've downloaded all the right codecs so it might be my comp, so anyway can i burn the files even though i can't see the video and still watch it on my dvd-player?


oh and question number 2 my dvdr can hold up to 4.7 gigs or whatever it is does that mean that i can burn up to 4.7 gigs of my .mpg's or will only be able to burn 4 gigs of .mpg's since it my expand when burning.

thanks for any help i know i'm being a pain. i'll shut-up now.

im pretty sure u can burn and watch them as it only seems to be a codec problem on your pc as to burning 4.7 gbs of mp3s , that should be no problem at all as ive done the same this week , burnt 35 dvds full of music :)

i good about the codec thing but i'm not burning .mp3s i'm burning .mpgs video files so i think the process may be a bit different.

oops i must have overseen that with the mpgs but that still works , just burn as a dvd rom(iso) and as much as fits on the dvd , but overburning does not work so if u can only fit 5 films on dvd for example then leave it like that

how do i do a dvd rom(iso) is it different to the standard mpeg to dvdr method?

well if your using nero then that should be no problem at all because when the wizard opens up u just klick on the option dvd-rom(iso) , its just like when burning cds using nero : just make it a data cd then u should be set up
