I have backed up a movie on my hard drive. The folder is ~4.4 Gb and consists of two subfolders - Audio (no files) and Video (several files, including VIDEO_TS files).

How do I burn a DVD using EMC9? I try to "Add New Movie" and it says that the files exceed 5 Gb and that there are multiple menus. This is all very confusing.

Thanks!

Use Disc Copier. Simply browse to the video folder and select your dvd drive as the destination and click 'Burn'.  That's all there is to it.

If it a commercial movie, this program will not allow you to make a copy of the movie.

You can get only 2 hours of video on a single sided disc at a somewhat reduced resolution; up to a little less than 4 hours on a double sided.  You can use a compression scheme such as DivX but you'll need a player that will play that format.   With all the garbage  such as multiple menus, the file size will be large.  With only one menu the video file may be small enough to fit.

If it NOT a commercial movie, copy the VOB files from the DVD and put them into VideoWave as one movie; edit it if desired and then save it and then add that file to MyDVD.   Encode to an ISO file and then copy that ISO to a disc.

BTW, the audio file will be empty.
