Nero settings to burn DVD

I am burning my Christmas DVD's (probably won't get to anyone on time). I have 4 DVD burners on different machines in the house. I created my Video and Audio folders and have copied them to all of the machines.

I have been burning DVD's with the Roxio 6.0 software for awhile and it is straightforward (just Create DVD and then drop the files where I want them). The program burns and finalizes and they work on my DVD players.

I am confused with the two other DVD burners that use Nero 6.0. Which settings do I use? I just want to copy the two folders to the DVD and make sure it is compatable with the DVD players.

There are a ton of different settings, but none say (burn to DVD). They have settings to make a DVD, but this is already created. They have options for ISO standards and all kinds of junk.

I just need to know which button to push to burn these files on DVD (and make them compatable)?

Suggestions for Nero 6.0 (actually 6.6.3)?

In Nero, there are two burning dropdown selection box options located in the top left corner of the new compilation window. One is "CD", the other is "DVD". If you have CD selected it, will not list the DVD burning options and only the CD burning options. You need to change that drop down box to "DVD", then all the DVD format burning option will appear.

Just go into "Nero Express" and click on the "DVD-Video files" tab. Everything is done for you. Just drop in the VIDEO_TS folder.

I know it's simplistic, but it gives a perfect burn.

also make sure the verify box is checked - a bit of extra insurance.
