If you've already got the files in WMV or AVI format, you don't need to
capture them all over again. Starting from Nero Smart Start, follow these
steps:
1. Click Nero Vision Express (in the apps list on the top left)
2. When NVE appears, hover over "Make DVD". This will bring up a sub menu
with "DVD-Video" and "Editable DVD"
3. Click on "DVD-Video"
4. On the next screen, click on "add video files"
5. This brings up a window where you can browse for your WMV files. Add them
all (you can select more than one) and click on OK
6. If the bar at the bottom of the screen (or a pop up message) tells you
that they will not fit into a DVD, click on "More..." and then "Video
options"
6a. A window appears with "General" and "DVD Video" tabs. Click on the "DVD
Video tab.
6b. From the "quality setting" dropdown pick the option that gives you the
highest quality but still manages to fit everything on the disk. A standard
DVD holds 2 hours, but NVE will let you have up to 6 hours on one (albeit at
pretty poor quality)
6c. Click OK
7. Make sure the files are in the right order (drag & drop)and then click
"next"
8. The next screen allows you to design a menu for the DVD. For now it's
easiest to leave it as it is (although you might want to change the title),
and then click "next" again
9. The next screen is a preview. Click "next" again
10. The good stuff. The last but one screen is where you set burn options.
Make sure you're burning to the right place ("burn to..." in the top right).
You won't need to change anything else, but you might want to save the
project
11. Before you click "burn", make sure there's a blank DVD in the drive.
Might be an idea to switch off the screensaver and any power saving options,
as well as closing everything apart from NVE
12. Finally, click "burn". NVE will automatically start transcoding the
files and eventually burn them to DVD. This will take a few hours and use a
*lot* of processing power, so best to leave the machine to get on with it
Eventually after all this you should have a working DVD.
