High quality.  Then, when you are going to burn it, uncheck the burn to a DVD option, and put a check by the burn to an image (.iso) file.  Give it a name and location.  Click burn, and when all is done, open Video Copy and Convert, and burn that image file to a DVD.

Fit to disc will give a low quality end result.

i burned the .iso file to videos, opened video copy and convert but it wouldnt show up under videos. i opened my videos from my start menu and it was there as a roxio image.iso file like it was supposed to be. why wont it show up in the video copy and covert?

so im gonna try data-copy>choose image> image.iso (same file as above)> copy to dvd.
will that work just as good?

Select the DVD Video Copy tab, then in the source panel select the small down arrow to display the full list of sources. Then select Browse to find your iso image file

Copying the iso file to DVD as data does not work.

No it doesn't, never has, never will…

IF it worked it is because you burned the ISO image, not the file. Big difference.

Where did you test it? What is the file structure on the DVD? What program did you use to burn the iso to DVD as data? Be specific!

i played it on my home dvd player
and i used the roxio copy and convert dvd as described above

If you used VCC then you did not do a data copy
