Anyone Use Nero Express To Burn Cd/dvd's?

[Bad Seed]

I'm trying to burn a DVD with nero express and having trouble. The videos are win amp, I went to the video section and put in a DVD+R cd in it told me that I needed a CD-R/RW. I put one of those in and it told me that it wasn't enough room on the CD, anyways, I thought you needed to DVD to burn a video on to play it in the DVD player. So I shortened the movie enough to fit on the CD-R, it burned ok, but it wouldn't play in my dvd player. I knew it wouldn't work, but I tried it anyways, howcome it's telling me that DVD-R is an not capatible? Anyone have any ideas? I'm not really familiar with video formats, what needs to be what, etc.

Thanks

First of all before you hit the nero express you have to choose DVD in your disc selector in the middle top then press nero express then select DVD- video files, then just follow the prompts. you should be able to burn any size of file up to 4.7 GB. onto your DVD.--Hope this helps!

don't use Nero Express, you're better off using the full version of nero.

I used Nero Express for everything and now I can't because my old pc crashed....worked great for me. Are there any free programs out there that can burn cds (video t/s folder ones)? I have Roxio on the new one but I can't burn stuff I download from TDD etc. Oh yes....free and Windows Vista useable...I miss Nero Express!

Nero works under vista (i'm running Vista business), just download the latest version from their site.

It's free? I guess I should try and find my original cd somewheres.

What format are the video files?
And, are you selecting "Create DVD from DVD Quality Files" ? or burning as a data disc?
