Burning videos to DVD

[Jojoamb]

I have old VHS tapes copied to my Windows 7 computer. I have tried different free programs such s DVD Flick to then burn this video to a DVD on computer's drive. In order to be able to burn onto a DVD, I first have to send it to a Project Destination Folder on my computer, then DVD Flick has to format the video which took a couple of hours before a screen comes up ImgBurn to then burn to the DVD which will take another long time. However, a screen came up on ImgBurn that the Device is Not Ready (Incompatible Medium Installed).  So, with using the Roxio 2, does this program have to change the format on each video before it can be burned to DVD.   Can Roxio use double discs?

Hello,

You ask  using the Roxio 2, does this program have to change the format on each video before it can be burned to DVD. 

Yes, there is a standard format for video on a DVD disc, DVD Video.  Unless your video is being copied from one DVD to another, it must first be converted into the proper format for DVD.   This process is called authoring the DVD.

Can Roxio use double discs?

If you are referring to double-layer DVDs [up to 8.5GB] I believe Easy CD & DVD Burning 2 can, although I've not used them myself.
