I'm having problems using Nero vision to create a DVD.

I have this DVD with one hour long Title that containing a number of music videos and I want to chop the videos up into separate titles with some sort of menu system to access the videos.

I've used DVD Shrink to chop up the video file and then imported the separate files into Nero Vision, to author the menu system and create the final dvd. The problem with Nero is that the program keeps unexpectedly quitting. It doesn't crash nor does it give an error message it just closes. I quickly glance down at my keyboard to type and when I look back at the monitor, all I see is my windows desktop. Anyone have an idea what this might be?

Best if you import it into Nero with Nero Recode directly from the DVD. You can also set chapter marks there or cut the video into smaller segments. The dialog is a little confusing. You can select/deselct chapters, at first I thought it only imports those chapters. But what it does is keep, add, or remove only chapter marks. It does import the whole title and then you can chop it up. Or maybe you can select portions of it cut out before you import it. I haven't played with it tha much, but for what I did so far, it worked very well.

What is the file size of your largest segments?
Take a look at Edit>Preferences>Output Files and make sure that all boxes are X-ed, especially "Split into 1GB files".

There seem to be some types of copy protection that give trouble even if DVDShrink did the job - please try to compress your clips with less than 100% quality (set manually to 99%) and see whether Nero Vision will accept the footage now.

Michael's advice to use Nero Recode sounds good to me.

Nero 7 also uses its own mp4 format called "Nero Digital". Since I haven't played around with it much, I don't know how effective and compatible it is with other video file formats. I would also check on the Nero website to see if there is any information about that. But in the meantime, like I said, recoding it directly with Nero Recode should solve the problem. It may also be possible to directly recode the already ripped files. But I can't check that since I am traveling and don't have Nero on this notebook.
