Hi!
sorry folks i do not want to bore you about i have some problems to understand:
I have burned 2 Disc that work completely on my Standalone Player. The others i have burned run only on PC and Playstation 2.

My method:
The discs are under 4.37 GB so i have done:
Ripping the movie with smartripper all the files, put them in a Video_ts Folder and burned them with InstantDVD (VOB).
The discs that worked were from a bootleg of horror movies from a small label. Have other companies perhaps a kind of copyprotection?
I can i handle it that all discs running on my standalone?

If the original disc is a DVD-5 (single layerd) you should not need to use IFO edit. On rare occasion I have had to us IFO edit to "Get VTS Sectors".

I use smartripper to rip the movie then I burn with Prassi Primo DVD (RecordNow Max is based on the same burning engine and works pretty much the same). Out of 30 or so discs I have burnt 1 coaster and that was because I thought I was still in test mode and canceled the job. Prasi/RecordNow is your best bet for standalone compliant discs. I have tried Nero and InstantDVD and had no luck with them. The DVD-RWs I burnt with them showed on my player as DVD-ROM discs not DVD Video discs.

Hi!

i have tried Nero und Instant but no results. Could it be that Prassi only works with NT OS? I am still an Win 98 User (please do not laugh) or is there a chance to run it under Win 9X? When i try to install i get the message pxsub.dll not found!
