hello p jayant,
it sounds like you are having a ruff go of it.
i'm in the us and support here isn't much better.
after reading several reviews on nero and mydvd, it seems that they each
have some features that the other one doesn't, so i figured that since they
don't cost an arm and a leg, it was worth it to investigate a little further
to see if i should buy mydvd, but apparently they don't want my money. the
other option that i can think to try is ulead's burn.now
http://www.ulead.com/bn/runme.htm i was on their site a week or so ago and
filled out a form for their sample cd of trial versions of all of their
software. i was surprised when it arrived in the mail today. i figured it
would take at least a month. i was impressed. after looking at the screen
shots
http://www.ulead.com/bn/screen.htm it remind me of nero.
i hope you can find a solution for your problem.

: They obviously don't care. Here is my experience with Sony DVD and the
: software which came along with it for capturing, editing and authoring (2
: hour, 4.7 GB) DVD
:
:
: In spite of having on my computer,
:
: 1) ATI's Radeon 8500 Video Card and the associated MMC software for
: capture in DVD compatible mpeg format
:
: 2) Sony DVD along with Sonic's Record Now 4.0, My DVD 5, Vegas 4.0
and
:
: 3) Nero's Vision Express 2.0
:
: I have not been able to get the 6 episodes (each of roughly 20 minutes) of
: HBO's Sex & City into a DVD because each software has its own limitations.
:
:
:
: Nero: I have been able to capture in mpeg-2 format on the ATI's MMC and
Nero's
: Vision Express 2 and even clip the commercials from the total duration of
: each episode of about 30 minutes. But after clipping, I do not find any
menu
: for saving the clipped video. When I use the save button there, it saves
the
: whole 30 minutes episode without all the cuts made by me.
:
:
:
: I have earlier made VCDs using ATI's MMC or VirtualDub to capture video in
: AVI format and convert it to mpeg format using Tsunami mpeg Encoder. But
: TMPEG refuses to open an mpeg format file so I cannot edit files saved in
: mpeg format with VirtualDub and TMPEG.
:
:
:
: The Sonic MYDVD 5 has been registered but when I open an mpeg file
captured
: with MYDVD, Vega 4.0 which came along with Sony's DVD, I get an error
: message saying I need to register the mpeg encoding add-on software. When
I
: try to register, the response says, my registration number is not in the
: database.
:
:
:
: It also asked me to go and get a (12 MB) newer version of Record Now. I
: promptly went on the Internet but downloading stopped after some 34 kB.
:
:
:
: Because I am in India, there is no easy way of getting on the phone to
Sony
: and asking them why they do not include all the software compatible with
: each other in their DVD pack and provide a clear instruction manual or
Help
: file to make a DVD.
:
:
:
: I wonder how many buyers of Sony DVDs are able to make DVDs using all the
: three components: capture, edit and author. Of course, Sony don't care two
: hoots for their customers in India where I reside.
