    First of all don't use Nero Vision; use Nero SmartStart.

    Maybe it's just busy re-encoding the videos?

    Yeah. And then just 'make a data cd' and drag over your video files

    I didn't know DVD players could play videos made like that...

    Oh snap, i didn't read that part.

    edit: in that case,

    i've used Vision to make DVD's before, even out of .mov files as well as .avi and .mpegs. So yes, what you're doing is very possible.

    I don't know how fast Nero is, or what the quality output is like, but when I'm converting an AVI file to DVD-format files, I use some programs designed specifically for the job and converting even a full-hour TV show can take all night. So I'm thinking there's a good chance Nero isn't stalled, it's just converting the file.
