Surely it can't be as simple as drag, drop & burn? Can it?
Also, if any specialist software is required, please recommend the best - free if possible - program to use.
Thanks
I'll give it a try once home :)

Dont worry, this is normal.

Well, the file I need to burn is an AVI, obviously, but TGMPEnc wouldn't recognise it - neither would Virualdub.
I downloaded a trial of a program called DVDSanta - which converted everything for me and created the audio_TS and video_TS folders (is that their names?).
Anyway, I did a test write, and it was successful - however, when I went to write properly, I got an error just over half way through. the error message was all scrambled gibberish, then another came up saying something like 'data write fail' and it proceeded to spit my disc out, now unusable.
Any ideas what went wrong? I bloody hate it when things 'test' perfectly then screw up in the real thing. It's pathetic.
Also, I checked the _TS folders and there was nothing in the audio one - everything seemed to be in the video one :S
Help would be greatly appreciated!!

Try it with extracted audio as you might be suprised that it takes less time to encode.

It is sort of free, you can only convert so many things to MPEG2 though.
