I have nero 7 priemium which has nero vision 4 on two computers. Refering to the guide on this site http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/125/59/  One computer is fine, and starts with step one of the conversion.

The second computer starts nero vision with step 4 on the guide (the "Make DVD" option never starts), giving me no option to just do a straight conversion.

Can anyone please help me figure out if it is a setting that is different, of if im missing a codec? I can see nothing that I have done different and this is a clean install on both comps.  I'm am running winxp home on both as well

Thank you!

Well duh, I suppose it is because I have no dvd burner in that system >.< I was hoping to do the grunt work there and burn on my other. Leave an idiot alone long enough they will figure it out lol. Sorry for wasting space and your time.

The best laid plans eh? Thats exactly what I was trying to accomplish. I hate having my computer that I prefer to use being tied up for hours on some of those big converts, but they are both desktops so I'm sure I can find a cheap old burner just to have it show up as a drive. For now it's back to WinAvi.

Funny (or sad) how the simplest explanation eludes you sometimes, I was messing with it for hours. Doh!

Thanks for moving my post, if it was you. I guess it's worth being here just to save someone having the same plan go awry. Great board by the way, glad I found it.

I agree it must be a bug; it makes no sense to me to not have an encoder available, yet have a functioning authoring tool. Unless that can be used for burning to a CD, I’ve never used it myself.

Normally I don’t have a problem using winavi for higher quality originals, but it’s unreliable and again just split a 2g (output) file into two folders. What’s up with that?  When my eyes uncross from all this messing around I will have to check out your guides and the board more thoroughly, the stuff I’ve read so far has been excellent. I wish I had found your site sooner it would have saved my desk a few dents from my head by not having to learn all this trial and error, emphasis on error lol. I definitely appreciate all the work you have put into this. 

When you load vision, click more, then Configure, then check the box that says "Enable all supported recorder formats for the image drive".

I did this and its working for me now.
