I burn most of my DVDs with DVD Decrypter, after DVD-RB turns them into ISOs automatically.

Recently I ran into a situation where I couldn't do this. I had to do some major compression on two DVDs to fit them on my harddrive, with DVD-RB first, and then I had to run them through DVD-Remake and merge them. Lastly, converted them to ISO with Folder2ISO and burned them with DVD Decrypter.

It's refusing to play though in my software DVD players. I'm thinking Folder2ISO may be the culprit. It said that the filesystem it formatted the DVD for was CDFS, while my other ISOs made with DVD-RB were UDF or something like that. It also didn't make the usual AUDIO/VIDEO_TS folders. The files are just sitting in the root directory of the DVD.

Does it sound like the Folder2ISO program is the reason it's not playing? I swear i've used it before, but... I was wondering before I make some more coasters.. already gone through 3 DVDs trying this. Can you recommend some good alternative programs to turn DVD folders into ISOs? I probably have a few of them already downloaded, but can't remember what they were.

I think Folder2ISO must not be used for DVD-Video.
Because files are ordered by alphabet.
I think ImgToolClassic can be available.

... or PgcEdit.

Sorry, r0lZ. The word was lacking.
What I want to mean contains the combination PgcEdit(Create ISO) and ImgToolClassic(mkisof.exe). It isn't possible to lack especially for DL media.

Yep, that did it. The ISO made with ImgTool plays fine in the DVD player. Thanks for the help.
