Nero Vision 5 is part of the Nero suite, a collection of CD/DVD related software that can often be found bundled with DVD drives (although the bundled version might not be the full suite). Nero Vision is the CD/DVD authoring component of Nero. While is is aimed at beginners, it offers quite a lot of options and you can make fairly nice looking DVDs with menus, chapters, audio, animations and more. It also includes a basic video editor. This guide will show you how to take your video files and turn them into a DVD, complete with menus, chapters and other advanced features.

This guide is aimed at users new to DVD authoring, but is already fairly comfortable with things like video conversion and editing and know about basic DVD structures like Titles and Chapters.

Note: It is important to note that if you are importing existing DVD/VOB files into a new Nero Vision project (eg. to add menus, chapters ...), Nero Vision will transcode the video again even if the source will fit onto the disc, which may take 2 hours or more and might decrease quality. For an authoring tool that does not automatically transcode the video, please try TMPGEnc DVD Author. Read our DVD Authoring Tools Roundup to find out which DVD authoring tool is best for your needs.

Software you'll need:

Nero Vision 5
Optional: IfoEdit

Hi, your guide is Ok.But I have some problems with nero vision 5.x. I have a avi (DV) video at 853 x 480 resolutions (16:9) when I import to NV to make a dvd video, it resize to 720 x 480 and add black bars to the left and right side of my video!!!. At this url http://wiki.digital-digest.com/index.php/DVD_Authoring_Tools_Roundup they mention the following in the CONS for Nero Vision "Options to set resolutions/letterbox options are well hidden in another section of the Nero Ultra package" where is that hidden options??? could you help me???? (I tried ciberlink producer and it working fine with my widescreen video

Great Guide !!!! Help Me.... In Nero Vision 4 can chose only Menu Chapter whitout Main Menu, in this version (5) Select Menu Chapter and Main Menu aperace. What I can do, if have only Chapter. Tnks ! Jesus

!!!! help me please ... i have nero 8 with nero vision 5 but when i go to add video files from hard drive they don't go in it closes down ....what am i doing wrong.... when i had trial version of nero 8 it worked but with full version it not workin... have you any ideas for me ...?

i am adding mpg files and not vob. the problem is it does not merge all the mpg files as a single dvd. When i play any clip from the menu, it plays and when clip is finished it jumps to the menu again. How do i make it run continuously?

rahiltg: What you may need to do is to load in the first set of the MPG file, edit that and then add the additional MPG files in the set (the ones you want to continous play) to the timeline (basically using the Nero Vision video editor to "join" all your MPG files into one). See page 3 on how to access the video editor, and when in there, click on the first tab, use the "Browse for media" button to load in your video files and add to the "My Media FIles" list, and then drag the video files in sequences to the "Video Track' timeline. Another way to do this is to load in the MPG files as separate tracks like you are doing now. Then go to page 4 of this guide (menu creation), under the "Disc/Project" section, change the "End Action" to "Play next title" - this will play the next title in the list as opposed to returning to the menu after playing every track. If your DVD only has this one set of video files, then this works fine. But if you have multiple tracks where some should return to the menu after playback, then you will need to use the first method above.

hi! hope you can help me.. i have no problem going thru the whole process, i even tested the preview and works fine, my problem is whenever i playback the project, the chapter selection wont work, i can select a chapter, but when its about to play it stops the whole project, ive done to projects and got the same result...

Hello, I have no problems with any of the steps, most of my projects have been successfully burned, with the exception of two. In Nero vision 5, when I'm in the burning process, everything goes well, the menus are all trancoded, but in the middle of the burning vision closes without notice and returns to the StartSmart home. This has happened to me twice. It's really stressing trying to figure out what's wrong, I've looked all over the net and can't find anything. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, Nice Guide! I actually have the opposite problem from rahiltg. When I bring 2 .mov files into Vision, create buttons, and test the menu it plays the clips together. Meaning, when I press the first clip, it plays and when it finishes it goes right to the other clip and plays it too. I WANT them to play separately. I WANT it to go back to the menu after the clip plays. How can I make sure this happens? Thanks.
