Dvd-r Doesn't Play On Home Dvd

[HOW]

AFTER EDIT OF THIS DVD-R WITH SMARTRIPPER & IFOEDIT,
DVD-R PLAYING NORMAL ON MY PC DVD BUT ON A HOME DVD DOESN'T !!

WHY ?

I HAD BURNED OTHER DVD WITH ORIGINAL MAIN MOVIE AND .IFO
AND EVERYTHING WAS OK !

WHAT'S WRONG ??

[Deepa DVD]

Your set-top dvd player probblay cant read dvd-r media or you didn't decrypt it right, if it had any CCS protection, etc.

[HOW]

NO,I DON'T THINK..
I DECRYPT IT ALRIGHT WITH SMARTRIPPER FIRST !!

AND THE SPECIFIED HOME DVD CAN READ DVD-R CAUSE I TESTED WITH ANOTHER DVD-R AND WAS PLAYED OK !!

THE PROBLEM MUST BE WITH THE IFOEDIT !
MAYBE SOMETHING IS WRONG IN THE .IFO FILE...
BUT WHAT ?????

Did you use a different brand of DVD-R?

[HOW]

NO,I USED THE SAME BRAND: "SMART BUY"

This might be basic, but did you burn the VIDEO_TS folder, rather than just the files in there? If the files are on the disk without the folder, your computer will play it, but not a home player.

[HOW]

THE FILES WAS ON VIDEO_TS FOLDER

[HOW]

FOUND THE PROBLEM !
ALL HAPPENED WITH THE PRASSI PRIMO !

IS THERE ANOTHER GOOD DVD BURN PROGRAM ??

GEAR MAYBE ?

Latest Nero version 5.5.8.x works fine and has a DVD Video selection for just this i.e. creates the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders and you just drag your vob's and ifo's etc like making a Video CD

What format options did you use?

I haven't used Prassi (it didn't come with my player) but Nero supports ISO, UDF and UDF+ISO

In my limited experience most standalone players require you to use either UDF or UDF+ISO whereas PCs don't care.

<b>DVD Video</b> new to Nero 5.5.8.0 it creates the required folders and all you do is drag your vob's etc into the VIDEO_TS folder and burn

I also find sticking to 1x burn on DVD-R as it seems to give the best compatabillity with stand alone players.

Nero 5.5.8.0 did not work at all on my machine. I reinstalled a couple of times with no luck.

It took a minute or two to scan the SCSI/IDE bus then either it bombed out with an error or it came up and couldn't see my Pioneer A04.

Fortunately de-installing and re-installing 5.5.7.2 worked OK.
