any tech brothers that can help...?

I've tried and failed. And I got overwhelmed by all the slightly wrong scenarios i get when i google this...

I have windows xp, nero premium 7, and a dvd burner.

I have mp4 video files that I'd like to burn onto a dvd to view on a regular dvd player. (about 90mb each.)
I'd like to be able to put multiple files onto 1 dvd and have a menu to select the desired video.

If another software is needed to convert before i burn: 1) have experience with one that is safe and simple? 2) free? 3) lets me keep best quality possible?

I don't have time to look up the specific steps, but I've used Nero and you should open the QuickStart or StartSmart screen. When this opens, you can simply click on the Video or DVD button and it shows you the options available. You should easily see how to create a DVD from files. Simply click on that and follow the instructions. It's as simple as clicking on the files you want on the DVD, make sure the files you want will fit on the DVD (you will see how much room you have available as you go) and hitting start.

Good luck brother

If I remember correctly, Nero should have a production utility where you could set each file into its own chapter. PM coming.

If you have a Mac, just drag the files/folders onto the dvd icon that shows up when you load the dvd ... then hit "burn." If you have a PC ... you're screwed, lol. j/k. I recommend Nero as well, I've used it a lot and it works pretty well.
