Use Daemon tools first...

 

 

 

and this forum is for Runescape help only.

 

 

 

I'm fairly sure Daemon Tools is used for mounting an CD/DVD image, like .iso - That's hardly helpful for someone wishing to burn a video file to disk.

 

 

 

@ OP (even though this is in the wrong forum :P)

 

 

 

I would recommend converting this mystery file to .avi. I have worked with a lot of .avi files, and they always seem to convert/burn to disk most efficiently, while keeping the same quality.

 

However for best results I would recommend using a program like VSO ConvertXtoDVD - It supports many more file types, and manages them in a more efficient way.

if this files codec you're trying to burn isn't on that list, then I will eat my hat :)

 

Really you shouldn't need to be converting a file to another file type, just to allow Nero convert/burn it...

the file extension doesn't confirm what codec is used. the file extension is known as the container, the video within the file is encoded with a codec, and the audio is also encoded with a codec.

 

you have the containers listed, not the codecs.

 

 

 

mpeg 2 (which is what you said it is) is about the most common codec around. its what most dvds (if not all) are encoded in.

 

 

 

post what EXACTLY nero is saying is wrong, and what version of nero your using.

 

 

 

also download this and open the file with that. it will tell you what audio/video codec its using.
