Hi guys, i'm not sure if this is the right place to open this thread but just hope that every1 could help me out a little here.

My problem:

I got this stacks of DVD-RW from my uncle. So he wants me to help him put all into a few DVD-R for storage. The weird problem starts when i see the file as MPEG but when i want to burn it becomes a .VOB file.

Next, because there are alot of disk so the name of the files are all identical to each other (he's using a DVD camcorder) . So NERO thinks that it's the same file and says the file is already there. So i tried renaming it, but to my dismay it still won't work.

Guys, please lend me a little help here?? Hope that the way i related my problem is not too confusing. Thanks alot...

my usual practice is :

1. Copy all the files (the DVD-RW in ur case) to ur local harddrive.
2. Open Nero (for example)
3. New DVD data disc
4, Put all ur copied files into it
5. Burn

If u want ur files burned as they are without converted to something else. Just burn as DATA disc. Hope this help

After burning into data format. Will it still be able to play in a DVD player??

you want ur video viewable in DVD player or pc?

ur uncle video is viewable in DVD? what are the files format?

Yeah..he wants to view it on a DVD player cause his comp dun have dvd-rom.

Yes it is viewable in DVD format in the comp. He has this double-sided disc and want me to burn it into a normal single sided DVD disc. I have a few file formats as the following:

1) .VOB
2) .IFO
3) .BUP

The .VOB format only shows in Nero. As now, when i play it, i'll see in MPEG format.

Double-sided disc??? hmmm... things get complicated.

fyi, .VOB .IFO .BUP is DVD video format. and DVD video use mpeg2 encoding

u check the total file size for ur uncle DVD. if it is smaller than 4.3GB, u should be able to burn in single sided DVD. just do a "DVD copy"
