Okay, on the advice of an earlier posting I got MyDVD to burn a disc image. Now I'm trying to get that onto a DVD, but my help file says I need creator classic for that - which I don't have, I just have MyDVD. Help! There's gotta be a way I'm missing.

What software and version do you have?

MyDVD9 is EMC9.
It's just the DVD authoring component of EMC9.

There are two MyDVD 9 versions: Studio and Studio Premier. Looks like only the 2nd one has the burning capability. Which one do you have?

The regular studio. Man, i wish I'd known that before I blew the last 4 hours making an image file...

Hang on, I went to that link and I don't see "burn from an image file" listed for either one.

Wait, this other page for Studio version says about burning (5th bullet). Is there any icon on the interface that says "Burn" or anything from the menu bar?

both versions can burn a disc - the question is, how do I burn from an image? Earlier advice on this board said not to burn straight to disc, go to an image and then copy it to disc. It's the copying part I'm having trouble figuring out how to do.

Well, you mentioned you were able to create an image file from your first post above from the software. Burning a video onto DVD requires a disc image (ISO or video-folder set).

Anything from the menu bar or any icon that says Burn or Copy?

Sorry, I don't have either version, only the full Suite (EMC9). Just trying to lead you to look at the icons or menus.

Yes. I have an image file. Now I need to burn it onto a DVD. MyDVD appears to be able to encode/write at the same, but people were giving me advice to NOT do that, instead to create an image file first, then copy it to DVD. That's the part i'm having trouble with. the copying part.

Yes, I've looked at the menu. There is a burn icon. it gives no option to burn from an image, only from a project.

You can use free software to burn the image to dvd if you want. There's a few you can search for.
CDBurner XP Pro or ImgBurn. There's many out there for free just google for them.

It sounds odd that the software will let you create an image file but no functionality to burn from it as the source.

As Beerman indicated in his post, you can use ImgBurn, among others, to burn the image file.

PS: Thank you Paul for the suggestion.

The advise to create an image file first (if possible) is to avoid doing the rendering again if the burn ("write") part fails. If you have the image file, you can use this file over and over again to burn onto DVD.

Thanks for that suggestion - I ws unaware of the free image burning stuff. ImgBurn won't load, I'll try one of the others.

The suggestion to create the image and burn from the image was suggested when you have EMC 9 -- As in the entire suite. This is because there is a utility inside of EMC 9 called "Disc Copier", which allows you to copy an image to a disk. MyDVD 9 will not do this, as it is DVD authoring software.
