Anyone know how to burn a disc after you have created a DVD folder? I'm kindof new to all of this. Appreciate any comments. Thanks!

You can use a disc burning software such as Power2Go to burn the folder.
The VideoTS Folder is the one.
Also,
Inside the TS folder, the vob file can be dragged into the pd6-7 library and placed in the timeline. Not sure if you can retrieve the menu.

Please, corrections anyone?

There are two folders to transfer to a DVD writing software.
AUDIO_TS
VIDEO_TS
Both have to be placed in the DVD

While one may be empty it is the Video_TS folder which as Barry has stated contains the video information.

Using Power2Go for example you can add additional information to a DVD disc. Create a new folder and place any additional data you wish.

Barry covered this with a good answer - I've just added a bit more.

Just got PD 7 and it looks great. However, I checked the "Create a disk without a menu" button in Create Disk module and can not un-check it. Is this a bug? Milan

So when I go to Power2Go and try to add the folders it only let me open them to view what is inside? I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong.

After I burn the folders will it play like a normal dvd or is it just a Data DVD?

Which Option do I check on Power2go? Data DVD?

I've burned two disks now from a folder - one using PD 6 and one using the new PD 7. I did both in exactly the same way. I opened my video burning software, chose Video and then DVD Video_TS.

When the window opened I searched for the files - Audio_TS and Video_TS that had been saved to the folder.

In my burner software there was a disk icon called Video_TS. I dragged the saved Video_TS file onto it. It opened into several files in the right panel. I did not drag the Audio_TS file as I'd read somewhere on the Internet, that is was unnecessary. I then clicked on Burn and away it went. Both disks played just fine on my stand-alone DVD player.

I should add that I had added Chapters and a menu to the second disk and they were there as well.
