You should be able to burn mpeg2 to disc straight away with Nero Vision . If thats too big yuo should be able to use Nero Recode to shrink it down to fit on one dvd . Heres an extract from the Nero manual .
Choosing the right format
Nero Vision 4 supports a number of formats:
DVD-Video
Using
MPEG-2 technology to compress video files, a DVD-Video can hold up to 135 minutes of video on a 4.7GB DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW in a quality far superior to
VHS video or VCD (see below). You are able to view your disc on most
DVD players which makes it wonderful for storing all your home videos in the highest possible quality! You can also play DVD's on your PC if you have the appropriate software and DVD-ROM drive.
With DVD+R9 discs, the capacity of the discs is doubled, so that there is enough space for a DVD-Video.
DVD-Video (VR)
DVD-Video (VR) is a particular type of DVD-video. It can only be created with
DVD+RW or
DVD-RW discs. This option is only available if the installed recorder supports the burning of DVD VR format. The DVD VR offers three possibilities that are not available with DVD-Video.
- Direct recording of videos onto disc in real-time is possible (Option: direct recording on VR).
- The data on the disc can later be edited and altered.
- More videos can be added if space is still available on the disc.
The DVD VR is thus comparable with a video recorder (or a video cassette) but with a much higher quality.
However, there are differences between DVD+VR and DVD-VR media. With DVD-VR there is no menu, instead a playlist can be created. Besides this, the audio track cannot be changed with DVD-VRs, in other words the existing track cannot be edited and no new track can be added.
miniDVD
In principal a miniDVD is the same as a
CD-R or CD-RW written in UDF format with a DVD structure. It offers the same technical options and qualities as a DVD, can create chapters or animated menus and support subtitles and multiple audio tracks (including real digital multichannel sound). While compatibility with all DVD players is not guaranteed, miniDVDs can be played by computers without any problem.
Video CD (VCD)
Using
MPEG-1 technology to compress video files, a VCD generates a quality roughly similar to VHS video and can hold up to 74/80 minutes on 650MB/700MB CDs respectively of full-motion video along with stereo sound. VCD's can be played on most DVD players and on your PC if you have the appropriate software and a drive that can read CD-R/CD-RW discs.
Super Video CD (SVCD)Very similar to a VCD, this format uses MPEG-2 technology to store video files in a quality roughly similar to S-VHS and can hold around 35/40 minutes on 650MB/700MB CDs respectively of higher quality full-motion video along with stereo sound. SVCD's can be played on a growing number of DVD players and on your PC if you have the appropriate software and a drive that can read CD-R/CD-RW discs.
HD-BURN
In principle, an HD-burn CD is nothing other than a CD-R or CD-RW, where a special procedure is used to double the capacity of a CD and which has a DVD structure written on it in UDF format. It offers the same technical options and qualities as a DVD, can create chapters or animated menus and support subtitles and multiple audio tracks (including real digital multichannel sound).
NOTE: To burn a DVD-Video disc, you need to have a supported DVD recordable drive connected to your system. To burn VCD/SVCD/miniDVD/HD-BURN discs, you need to have a supported CD and/or DVD recordable drive connected to your system. (Please visit
htt://www.nero.com for the list of currently supported drives). Even if you do not have a recorder capable of burning DVD and/or VCD/SVCD/miniDVD/HD-BURN discs, you can still burn a
disc image on your hard drive and save it for future use. Once you have the appropriate recordable drive connected to your system, you can open disc images using
Nero and/or
Nero Express 7 at any time, and burn real video discs.
