Burning a DVD in Creator Classic

[GCHeels]

In Creator Classic when I'm trying to add DVD movie folders located on the hard drive to the "project list" to be burned, I get the message, "You are trying to create a DVD video. Please use the disk copier". This happens when it tries to copy the VIDEO_TS folder. Can I not burn a home movie from the hard drive in Creator Classic like I could with previous versions. Thanks.

The workaround is simple. Classic will not let you add a VIDEO_TS folder to the Project Pane.

 

Create a New Folder in the Project Pane and rename it to VIDEO_TS. Add the files from the source folder to that new folder…

 

Make sure you set your file system to UDF – No Bridge or it will not play on a Player.

 

 

That's the deal! I'm not to happy about the extra steps, but it sure beats waiting a hour for Disc Copier to burn one. What's the deal, is Roxio looking out for the Movie Industries best interest. Shame, I burn home movies the same way. Thanks for everybody's help, especially James.

Nope, Roxio is abiding by the laws in the USA and Canada.

The only advantage I see in using Classic is that you can add items normally unrelated to a DVD Movie.

 

I have done some that included another 3,500 files that were related to the movie but too massive to be included.

 

I also see it as a way to make the DVD equivalent of an Enhanced or Mixed Mode CD…

Not if you want it to play in normal dvd players. You can burn an ISO file of your dvd in Creator Classic which will play correctly but Video_TS folders require Disc Copier.

Multimedia projects are a mixture of file types and won't work either.

Ok, I started using Disc Copier to burn my movies to DVD. The first session went to 41% (20 Min) and locked up. The second time it went to 50% (25 Min) before it locked up. With Classic Creator 6 I could burn a movie to disc in about 10 to 15 minutes. Is Nero the answer.

So it's the UDF part that makes the difference? James, is this way any better than using DC? (which would find much easier)
