Hi all,

Does anybody know how to burn a DVD+ from a session in MSTS?

I have a DVD+ burner in my computer.

Are you looking to save the program? Or to record the simulation?

You can back up everything in the Train-Simulator folder to a DVD. I would recommend zipping up the folder first to compress the contents to simplify burning to DVD. That way, you can reduce the time needed to copy back to a computer with a DVD. (You still have to install the program first, then, you can overwrite everything with the DVD data. I just did something similar to copy all of my added routes and patches to MSTS on my new laptop.)

To record a session, you need a video out from your graphic card to record the output to a digital camera, some record directly to mini DVD, or a consumer DVD recorder. If done to the digital camera, you can copy back to your computer using the firewire connector of your camera, edit, and burn an edited session to DVD on the computer.

Since you already have a DVD burner, you should already have some software for the video editing session.
