Nero Burning & Set Top DVD+RW Playback Problems

[fredisdead]

I have experienced a strange problem.

I have authored, with Scenarist, a 2 title (2 movies) dvd, 1 title menu, 2 vts, no chapters, ... a very simple structure. The video and audio assets were prepared using the robshot/cce method.

When I have scenarist build the 'file level' DVD layout then use nero to burn the Video/Audio directories, I get 'not a valid dvd' message from my various set top boxes even though all pc based players are happy as a lark!

When I have scenarist prepare a binary image and use dvd-it to burn it (after having to rename the image file to xxx.image from the xxx.dvd produced by scenarist)the dvd+rw runs fine in all my set top boxes.

Is there any way to predict when nero will and won't work?

Alot of people have been reporting problems with burning DVD-Videos with Nero. You're probably better off burning with PrimoDVD instead of Nero. If you can't trust either, I say do it the way you were doing with creating an image first, it only takes a few minutes to make.
