Standalone Playback No Longer Works
I use DVD Decrypter (latest version) and Nero Recode / Nero Burning ROM to back up my DVDs.
Up to versions:
Nero Recode: 2.1.1.20
Nero Burning Rom: 6.3.1.25
... everything worked fine. DVDs play in both the PC and on my Panasonic S55 DVD player with no problems.
Using _any_ version of Recode later than 2.1.1.20 (including the latest release) creates a DVD which will play fine on my PC, but causes the Panasonic S55 to hang. Reverting back to 2.1.1.20, everything works fine again and the DVD will play both on the PC and on the standalone.
I also tried creating only the video files with Recode and using NTI to burn the DVD with the same results (meaning the problem is in Recode, not Nero Burning ROM).
This is not media specific. If I revert back to 2.1.1.20, everything works fine again and the DVD can be played anywhere.
I referenced the changelog to recode, and it doesn't seem like anything would have been introduced to cause this issue.
I realize the obvious solution is to keep using the version that works, but that's not an answer to the problem as far as I'm concerned.
I'm _guessing_ versions later than the one I have that works (2.1.1.20) introduce some mechanism into the navigation file or whatnot that the S55 doesn't understand.
I typically prefer using the latest editions of software, but I can live with using an older version. I'm still interested to know if anyone else is having this problem.
