    To Make DVD-R Back-ups deffinately playback in standalone players?

    MAYBE A LITTLE DATED

    if your dvd-r will not play in your stand-alone player when burned with nero,
    this is because your stand alone supports UDF1.02.
    when you burn a dvd with nero using DVD VIDEO ,settings nero burns the disc in UDF 1.05.
    most players especially new models support this.........but some older players do not.hence
    when you put the disc in your player you get "disc error" or something similar, but if you put
    the disc in, say your friends player it plays good.
    follow these steps.

    1/ make sure all your movie files are in a folder called VIDEO_TS (must be caps).
    2/ open nero, click close wizard.
    3/ in the new compilation choose dvd (obviously)
    4/ instead of choosing DVD VIDEO, choose DVD-ROM (UDF)
    5/ all settings should be ok at default, but if not, make sure no multisession is ticked, and
    UDF1.02 is selected as a physical partition.
    6/ click new, locate your VIDEO_TS folder with the movie you want to burn.drag and drop into
    the burn box on the left, then click burn.
    7/ when finished enjoy in you stand alone for the first time.

    hope this helps the masses with this problem.
    i personally burn all movies like this because then all dvd's play in ALL standalones.if a
    stand alone uses UDF1.05 it will also play UDF1.02.
    but not the other way around.

    P.S ALL this refers to using nero version 5.5.9.17 the newest version, untested on older versions
    but it will probably still be the same
    in my experience if dvd-video udf1.05 will not play, burn udf1.02 and it will

    Hello.
    I would like to ask you two questions.
    First of all, I would like to know where can I find a good explanation on IFO files structure, in order to know what does each instruction mean. That's because allmost avery DVD I split to 2 DVD-Rs, need some corrections, but sometimes I don't know what I'm really doing

    Second:
    Allmost every time I splita DVD to 2 DVD-Rs with IFOEdit , I get an error when burning Disc1 with ImgToolBurn: "VIDEO_TS structure relocation failed. You'll probably burn another coaster". If I burn the disc anyway, it will play, but some menu functions wont work, or sometimes menu freezes. This never happens on Disc2.
    Any Idea?
    Thanks.

          Would this method help to make DVD-R's playable in my older notebook's DVD player? Commercial DVD's play great, but I cannot get it to even recognize that there's a disk in the drive at all when it's a DVD-R (CD-R's work fine).
