Ok caught up at last, and it's only nearly 4 AM! :happy : I've been reading all the requirements etc at that site and I think I'll be ok, tho I was worried for a long time and thought I didn't have enough memory because it says you need at least 4.3 G free space and I saw mine said I had 4 G ram memory... but... I finally figured out those are 2 different things... I think... :uhoh : So I was ready to order it and install but I ran out of time and better go sleep. I thank you and cori for all your help and info
(however you will be sorry when I can't figure it out after installing and come crying to you for help again :win k: ) Oh and I take it from your info that you found for me that I DO have a dual layer burner, right? Double = same as dual? I hope? And here I didn't even know I even HAD a dvd burner!
As long as your computer has the typical specs for that model, then yes, it should be a dual layer dvd burner. Although any computer new enough to come with 4 gigs of RAM should certainly have a dual layer.
The program needs hard drive space when you're converting and burning a dvd, because the converted dvd file is stored in a temp file, and it's the temp file that's burned. When the dvd is done, it deletes itself, unless you set it to save the conversion, but I'm pretty sure the default setting is to delete. That gets tricky for me sometimes, because I try to keep as many shows on my computer as possible, so that I can upload for others, so my hard drive is almost always nearly full. It's a balancing act.
Anything I can help you with, just let me know! I enjoy getting my geek on.
IT WORKED
So the lack of DL was the problem indeed. Thanks again for the help VP!
Yay, glad it worked for you! I assume you also figured out that you don't need to do anything to shrink the file to fit, that it does it for you.
As you get familiar with the program, you can mess around with it and see all the things it does do, though. It gives you a lot of options for burning, creating titles, menus, backgrounds, but it's also easy enough for a beginner to use the default settings.
Meanwhile, here in Seattle, I've discovered how to burn YouTube videos to DVD.
There goes my weekend as I reconstruct my miscellaneous video collection.
Cori's lost weekend. Are you using IMG Burn for that?
Are you reconstructing shows, or are you just burning random files you've found over the years? Have you checked out Pirate Bay? I've found some cool stuff on there. Took DAYS to download some of it, but it was worth it.
Oh dear lord. Seeing the leatrher up big on video. Oy. : combust:
Shame the dvd is shot from Adam's side middle tho, means I won't be able to find myself on it.
Gonna burn Amsterdam 21-07-09 next.
And I'd love to have a good Russian or Helsinki dvd as well.
We've created a new addict.
I really don't like watching stuff (esp U2) on my laptop. Why watch it on 15 inches when you can watch it on 40 inches?
OH, GG!!! Another thing ConvertX does, not sure if you know this - when you set it up, you put in whether you use PAL or NTSC - well, with this program, you can download either file format, and it will automatically convert it to what you need!

Now THIS is the way to start a Friday morning! 
I'm tall so when smaller people have umbrellas in a tight crowd I always get them in my frickin' EYES. Wear a poncho if you don't want to get wet!
Amsterdam was burning while I was eating dinner, but it failed for an unknown reason. Bugger.
That reminds me SO of this pic.
