DVD creation of individual videos

Alun_Wickham

Hi!

I've just started to use Videopad Professional.

I'm trying to burn 6 videos to a disc but I seem to have got 1 long video of all of them!

Can someone help me to burn all 6 as separate videos?

Thanks in anticipation.

One way to handle this...

Export individual video files with Videopad. Insert a blank DVD.

Using Windows Explorer (the file manager) to open the folder with the files that you exported. They should appear in the file listings at the right.

Drag them to the DVD Drive letter folder in the left column.

Right-click the DVD Drive letter and choose BURN TO DISK. When prompted, choose the DVD/CD (bottom) option.

Hi Borate

I'm grateful for your response.

I think you might have to talk me through this again slowly as I've ended up with another single video file combined.

Talk me through, starting from the 6 separate video files sitting on my spare drive waiting!!

Thanks for your patience.

An alternative to DVDs is simply copy the files to a USB stick. Faster and more dependable. My TV will play them as will many other standalone devices.

If DVD is still your choice...

1. Use VP to export six individual mp4 files

2. Insert a blank DVD in the drive, preferably a DVD-RW (read/write) that's compatible with your player, so a coaster isn't created.

3. Click the DVD drive letter at the left side of Explorer. You may see this...

Choose "mastered" The Explorer window, at the right, should now indicate that there are Files Ready to be Written.

4. Drag the files from where you saved them to the DVD drive letter.

The files should now be listed in the DVD drive folder and a prompt may appear that Files Are Ready to be Burned.

4. Right-click the DVD drive letter and click on Burn to disc. Follow the prompts.

The result may or may not play in a standalone device but should be okay on a PC.

A DVD disc did not play on my entertainment system/TV in a Blu-Ray player, but another burn to a CD/RW did succeed.
