Are you saying that when Flick has done its part you still have to burn to disc as a separate operation? Maybe thats what other tutorials are not telling us and why my disc is blank?
It depends on the options you select. If you choose "Create ISO image", it will simply create a file that you can later burn with the software of your choosing. If you select "Burn project to disc", it will burn the disc immediately after it's processed your video. You can select both options to perform both actions if you like.
@@BadServo I chose burn to disc but it just left a blank disc. Before I tried Flick I tried 4K Download, it burned the disc, but would only playback on pc not on any other player.
@@globeforever9777 I'm unsure why it wouldn't burn the disc. Did it appear to be (drive light was blinking etc.)? As for playback, some DVD players won't play burned discs at all, but that's usually only very old players in my experience. It might be worth seeing if a friend can play it on their devices, then you can rule out if it's a problem with your player or the burning software. This video is quite old, so it's possible that Flick no longer burns as expected on modern hardware. Sorry you're having so much trouble.
I am trying to make duplicates of home movies that I have on DVD-RW. If nothing is on my computer hard drive yet, do I just put the source DVD-RW in the disk drive and start following your instructions OR are you assuming my source disk has already been copied to my computer's hard drive.
Based on your comment, I assume that the home movies on your DVD-RW were just copied to the disc (i.e., you put the disc in your computer and on it you see several files ending in ".mp4" or ".avi".) If that's the case, you'll need to copy them to the computer's hard drive, and then follow the video's instructions. Make sure that when you burn the new disc, that you use a DVD-R blank, and DVD-RW don't always work in standalone DVD players. If however, your DVD-RW disc with your videos have been authored to play on a DVD player already (when in your computer the disc contains folders with names like "TS_VIDEO"), then this tutorial is unnecessary and would reduce the quality of the videos. Look instead for a tutorial on simply "copying a video DVD". Hope that helps!
Hi there. Is there an option to choose desired format, such as MPEG, or is it necessary to do so? I did a DVD in MP4 format and the DVD player connected to tv noted it as an unrecognizable format. Thanks
A DVD Video Disc will always be an MPEG-2 format. The DVD spec for players only supports MPEG-2. Some later DVD players had the capability to play Divx, XVID, or other MP4 formats that were burned to a disc, but this application should transcode whatever format you choose to MPEG-2 during the process. Unfortunately, some DVD players just refuse to play burned discs outright, though they are few and far between these days.
I hv mp4 movie files I downloaded. I tried using DVDFlick to burn them. But on adding title this error pops "No thumbnail could be generated for the file" What am I to do
Most files should be able to have Thumbnails generated. Technically, it should still let you make the DVD, you simply won't have thumbnails (tiny pictures of the video clips) in the menu. Installing codecs that allow Windows to read more video file type MAY solve the problem, but it's difficult to say for sure. If you'd like to try that solution, you can download and install the LAVFilters codecs here: github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases/download/0.75.1/LAVFilters-0.75.1-Installer.exe
This tutorial focuses on making a DVD disc playable in a PC or standard DVD player that connects to a television set. While it's possible to undertake a similar process and use a CD-R, the resulting disc will not play on most players. You would also be able to store very little video material on it, due to the storage space differences between DVD and CD.
Can you explain what you mean by "data disc"? I DVD-player compliant disc will still be read in a PC. Is it possible you copied the ISO file to the disc directly instead of using the "burn image" option?
@@BadServo its burned as a storage disc instead of like a VOB file to where for example a playstation will read it as a dvd instead of a data disc w the movie file store on it
@@dragonleeproductions265 I see, yes it sounds as though you may have missed a step somewhere along the lines. If the disc is simply showing the video files instead of the re-encoded DVD structure, then you may need to retrace your steps. There's no step int he video that would cause the original files to be placed on the disc. That said, some DVD Players don't recognize burned discs (these have become increasingly rare) even if processed correctly. I'm afraid I can't really offer any other insight on what may have gone wrong without seeing your exact steps. Happy to help with any specific questions about the process, though. Good luck!
Well, that's a 2 part process. Step one is getting the video file. I'd recommend an app called "4K Video Downloader". Just copy the URL for the YT video you want and paste it into the app. It will download a file. Then use that file with the tutorial above to make a DVD.
Thanks for this great instruction! You made it very understandable and user-friendly! God bless
This video was extremely helpful. Thankyou so much!❤️
Why did Dvdflick turn my MP4 file upside down?
Thank you so much! I have been trying to burn a disk for years.
