CopytoDVD file types - HELP!

I have not done a lot of copying (only shrinking a regular DVD and copying it to a blank DVD) so I'm not up to speed on all the terms and processes, but I have recently downloaded a couple of .avi and .mpeg files, but I cannot figure out how to copy them as a video DVD as the CopytoDVD programme needs a video_TS.ifo file to produce a playable DVD. Can anyone offer some advice please? (pleasse, please, please!) I am using DVD Shrink Beta 3, and CopytoDVD 2.4.11.253. Embarassed

Hi and welcome to the forum thomaskerrya. you will need reauthoring software and a couple of hrs of reading of guides to fulfil that perticular problem, as CopyToDVD does not reauthor. Please check out http://www.dvd-guides.com/ for Afonics excellent Guides on how to achieve this. I am moving this to the relevant forum too:) Good luck and please let us know how you got on. Note: I do hope the downloaded files where your own Wedding films etc, as we never condone the use of illegal downloading here:)

Thank you very Very Happy

very much for your help, it has been invaluable. No other sites would help me, but you have, and I am extrememly grateful. I have ordered DVD X Maker so I can copy my Wink

home mpeg files onto DVD. I understand heaps more about the whole process now too, so don't feel quite such an ejit! Laughing

OK, got another problem (new it was too good to be true!) the .avi files I have are not compatible with DVD X Maker. Is there anything I can do with them?
