Default Making a DVD Video using Nero 7 Premium

This is Nero Vision in Nero7 Premium. Different versions of Nero may have different options.

(Note: This guide has been made for people that do not care about advanced options, but only want to learn how to make a DVD using Nero 7, so they can watch it on Standalone DVD players)

First check what DVD disk formats the DVD Player will play. It will usually say so on the player itself. Look for DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW etc. In case it does not say so on the player, you will find this info in the manual that came with the player, or try google in case you thrashed or lost it.

Tools used:
Nero 7 Premium (Trial version can be found at www.nero.com)
DVD Burner is a must
An empty DVD+R disk (I recommend using Verbatim disks, as they seem to be compatible with almost everything)
At least 5 GB of empty harddisk space. 10 GB would be better

First Open Nero StartSmart and you should get this screen:

After Nero Vision is open Follow these steps:

Where it says DVD in the lower right corner of the picture above, choose the kind you have. DVD is the normal 4.7GB DVDs. DVD-9 is the dual layer 8.5GB DVDs. These are more expensive, but if coding a long video for burning (eg. more than 2 hours) you will most likely get a better quality burn, because Nero won't have to worsen the quality to get the files to fit on the DVD.

If you have more than one file, add them in sequential order (eg. first CD1 then CD2 etc.) If the files have the same aspect ratio, you will be asked whether Nero should join the files to play as one. Choose depending on how you want the disk set up.
