Okay, thanks you two. That explains everything perfectly. I was struggling to find these basic explanations. Thanks for the program Lightning UK. I will be sure to help others in the future where I can.

Thanks that was very helpful thanks! When following the guides do I want to use this one: #1 "Burning DVD Video files directly to double layer media with ImgBurn" or this one? #2 "Creating a double layer ISO on your hard drive using ImgBurn" I imagine that if I follow option 2, then I'd have to burn them onto the DVD after they are on the HD. Guessing I should go for #1 instead. Same success with each? Also there is mention of a MDS file and ISO file. Specifically it states "Remember to choose the MDS file when you eventually burn this ISO as it contains the layer break information." I understand the concept of having the layer break information, so does this just mean that I burn the MDS file with the ISO file onto the disc. Or what does "choose" mean? Thanks again,

Hello, I am looking to get a better understanding of what ImgBurn can do as a program. I am putting my DVD video files onto dual layer (Fuji Film DVD+R DL) discs and want them to play in a stand alone DVD player. I have them all on my harddrive and have SUCCESSFULLY burned two movies onto these discs and they DO play in the stand alone DVD player. That was using Nero. I have no desire to compress the files (I have a projector) and due to the dual layer i shouldn't have to either. Now i am new to this stuff and have never even owned a CD burner. Yes i jumped right into DL burners! I have read the guides on Imgburn and it will make the files into an *.ISO file. Why would I want to do this? When I use Imgburn and put this Iso file onto the disc, will it still play in stand alone DVD players? Generally confused ... Any help would be great. Thanks
