Came back from a nice holiday in Zambia, ive got 2 video dvds of bungee jumping and white river rafting which we bought out there - these play fine on my dvd player.

I need to copy them sfor my brother/dad - (I guess this is borderline piracy, but we did pay extortionate amounts for one copy of the DVDs).

I doubt it has any protection on it. However, I used ImgBurn to create an ISO of the DVD. Used Dameon tools to test it and the ISO played fine on my pc. So I burnt the ISO to DVD (and verified it) with imgBurn. Again the DVD plays fine on my computer with PowerDVD and VLC.

Hoooooowever, if i put it in a stand-alone DVD player, it comes up as a read-error (tried 2 players). How can I get around this and what would be causing it? I used a Verbatim DVD+Recordable 4.7gb DVD media if that helps. I also saw ImgBurn finalise the DVD as well so thats not an issue. :confused:

Maybe try DVD Decrypter and see if that works.

Have dvd copies that you have burned on DVD+ recordables worked on your stand alone before?,you could try Dvd-.What is the format (ntsc or pal),region code for the Dvd you're burning,some stand alone players are specific to your region(1,2,etc.and format) and even thou the disc will play on your computer it will not work on the stand alone.
