How to Burn VCDs to DVD With Nero

Burning a file to a DVD will offer better playback quality.

A Video CD (VCD) contains video files that can be played in any standard DVD player. However, if you would like to view these files with better playback quality, the best option is to rip the files from the VCD and burn them to a DVD. The Nero software package can accomplish this task.

Things You'll Need

• Nero Move It
• Nero Burning ROM
• Blank DVD

1. Download and install Nero Move It. This program is not a part of the Nero Multimedia Suite and must be downloaded separately (see Resources).

2. Open Nero Move It, and insert the VCD you want to rip the files from into your computer's disc drive.

3. Click the CD icon in the Nero Move IT window. Under the CD icon, you will need to select the video option.

6. Close Nero Move It once the file has finished transferring. Eject the VCD from the computer disc drive.
