Playback Problem

[GOLIO]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS THE MOST COMPATIBLE METHOD OF AUTHOURING DVD TO PLAYBACK ON MOST STANDALONE DVD PLAYERS? I MEAN WHAT PROGRAM SHOULD I TO AUTHOR AND BURN MY DVD FILES (DIVX TO DVD)?

You can use the Maestro program to author the dvd (there are a few other software alternatives). Then make an image of these vob files that the authoring program outputs and burn with any image burning program. I use imgtools to make an image then i burn that image with dvd decrypter. (Nero is another alternative). IF you burn the dvd's vob files directly without making an image then that dvd wont be as compatible as the other method.

p.s If you cant be stuffed making an image then dont directly burn with nero since it has alot of compatibility issues.

I do the same as tano except use primo dvd to burn the .img file and have had great success. Tested the discs on well over 20 players and all played them fine except one that is totally uncompatible with DVD-R media (a 5 year old phillips).

If you want very compatible burns the step you must alwasy do is create a disc image and burn that, do not burn the video_ts folder directly.
