Burning dvd5 w/ dvd decrypter, probs

[DEAM]

I was trying to do an easy dvd back-up for my first one so I took my daughters dvd "The Great Muppet Caper" it's one of those double sided dvd's widescreen on 1 side and full screen on the other. Anyway, I read ISO with the latest version dvd decrypter everything went great. I then wrote it to dvd-r everything seemed to go perfectly. I popped it in my region free macro free daewoo5800 dvd player and got nothing. I then tried a panasonic dvd player and got "check disc for scratches". Tried in my PC still nothing, what happened? I'm using Fuji dvd-r 4.7gb could this be the problem? My friend who backs up PS2 games always uses verbatim or princo, what do you recommend?
TIA for any help.

download IFOEDIT from this site. Dec rypt the disc, then open the VTS_O1_IFO fils with IFOEDIT. Click "Get VTS Sectors", then burn. Without the corrected VTS sectors, the disk will seem like jibbberish to the player.

Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try.

DEAM, when you read the ISO, did you save it as an image (ISO) on your hard disk, then burned that ISO to your DVD-R? If so, then the IfoEdit routine isn't going to do a darn thing. IfoEdit Get VTS would only be a fix if you did a file-by-file rip to the hard disk, then burn.

When you go DVD-to-ISO file, ISO-to-burner, it's like a perfect copy (less encryption, etc.). I do it all the time with DVD's that are less than 4.4gb in size.

Here's what I did. opened dvd decrypter, mode read iso, completed successfully. then I went mode write iso (size was under 4.4gb) burned successfully. I took the Fuji dvd-r out of my dvd burner and tested it in various dvd players, daewoo5800, panasonic, and my pc dvd player using power dvd 4.0, no luck.

What brand dvd-r's do you use?

Ouch! Sounds like you're following the right process. I suspect the DVD-R's. I use Ritek's.

Does it at least play on the burner?? Can you view the files?

That is really strange. I suppose it could be the media. I have never used Fuji media. When you say it didn't work in your pc, what did it do? Did it act like the disk wasn't even there, did it complain it was blank? Or corrupted?
First just try burning some basic data (some test files) to a Fuji dvd-r disk and seeing if you can read it back. If you can't even do that, then there's something wrong with the Fuji disks or your dvd burner.

I wouldn't recommend Princo, I'd go with verbatim or Ritek.

Thx 4 the replies fellas I tried 1 on a verbatim and it worked. I guess fuji just doesn't agree with my burner.
