    [​IMG] With our new camera and my new computer, we started to shot movies everywhere: from family parties to historical buildings.
    When I moved the videos to my computer, they were avi files and of course wanted to record them in DVD to show off them. So we bought Nero Vision Express, since it looks like is the only program around which records DVD using just any movie kind of file (avi, mpeg, etc) without any complicated steps decoding-re coding etc the files just to get it recorded as a DVD.
    I made one DVD with a 240MB movie which came up great; then I wanted to do another DVD but the program freezes when is about half made, actualy, the program responds but the DVD recorder stops and stays there forever without recording at all. I tried with another DVD and then another, but stays the same, freezes about the same time (51 minutes recorded) and I can't open the DVD driver until I restart the computer.
    Any ideas? I'm just guessing here, but could it be that the program is making the changes on the file and at the same time is recording? Because the file is about 250MB but at the end I get some conversion that takes the file to about 2GB.
    Is there another program which can record DVDs without complicated steps to convert the files?
    Thanks!

    Most recent (or well-picked) DVD players will play avi and mpg files just fine... if you have the chance, just burn as regular data a few of the file types you normally recode and try playing them as they are on your DVD player. If it works, you won't need to waste time with recoding.
