Problem Burning A VCD Using Nero 7


According to pcmag.com the best disc burning software were the following:
1. Ashampoo
2. Cyberlink
3. Imgburn
4. NCH Express Burn Plus Video
5. Nero Burning ROM 11

I thought Nero was the best software ever for burning audio and video. With the previous version of Nero, I was accustomed of burning more audio and VCD's as well. With this article, it featured out that Nero is on the 5th list among the best software based on 2012 review. While according to the latest review Nero was on the 6th list where I believe have been trusted and used by many. 


Using Nero 7, burning a video using an MP4 format does not show any problem. It went through well while transcoding and burning it onto a CD. And when I check the output, the video and audio are intact. 

First, I tried to burn using the original format and it turns out that no audio appears in the output from the start  to end of the video. The original video has .vob extension name so I converted this to .wmv hoping it may work this way. The conversion is completed with video and audio track on it.

Then, tried the second time using the converted video. It tooks 30 mins of transcoding and smoothly goes fine and successfully burned. But when I try to check the output, it appears that it has sound in the first 2 seconds and the rest of the video has no sound which is different from my first attempt.

This puzzled me and afraid of burning another copy which may result to wasting few blank cd's added to the ones I already burned. I don't know what went wrong while burning a .VOB or .WMV format video using nero 7. 

I'm not sure either the problem is the CD writer or the computer itself. But the CD writer is a month old brand new Samsung DVD multi-recorder. This is the first time I used it to burn videos. 

The previous version of Nero installed in my computer was quiet doing well in terms of audio and video burning. But this Nero 7 does not do well.

Burning web pages into CD

I don't have any idea how a web pages work when you copy into a CD. But I guess it will work normally when you're online. I'm not sure about this.

This was the question that bothers me now since a young girl came to me asking to burn her HTML projects onto a CD. And this is my first time to burn something like this, of which is the most common way I know is to burn it as data only. I've already gone into burning CD but not too familiar on burning web pages. She never told me beforehand that those files were to be submitted to her teacher and just burn it from a USB.

After burning, she's expecting that when you clicked on it, it will show exactly the same thing as desired. She requested me that we check if it will work, it worked but has a little problem. The background and other images are missing as we clicked on each web pages. Something's wrong but I don't know how to solved it because I'm not familiar with HTML programming. I just tried learning a few days ago. 

I want to help the girl solved it so we started to analyze the problem. I don't think we could make it right since it was recorded already in the cd. And theres no way to correct unless to burn another copy or to correct the project before burning it again. She said that the location might be the problem but I don't think it was.


Silently, I started to analyze the problem. I tried to review those web pages I copied from the internet. I found out that each time I saved a web pages, there's a corresponding folder containing all the files necessary for a web pages to work. And when you delete the folder containing those files, the web pages disappear too. I noticed too, that when I save it as web page complete it will work compared to HTML only. So we tried it that way and the homepage work but not the sub pages. I assume that there was a problem with HTML programming and not with the way I burned it.

Anyway, I was a little bit challenged by that project and want to find it myself what went wrong. So I guess I had to do more research and study more about HTML programming. Thanks to that girl.
