Nero + DVD-R - Film Will not boot - Need help pls

[Wild_Bill]

Hi All,

Need your help on this one - totally lost now

I have the latest install of Nero but have the following issue.

If I burn a DVD movie to DVD-R, The movie will not boot in my Cyberhome 505 Standalone player, or XBOX console! Settings = DVD ROM (UDF/ISO), ISO Level 1, Mode1, ISO9660, Tick removed from Joliet, UDF1.02 Physical Partition etc – But the movie works fine in the PC DVD Rom Drive. This is on media I know the players like.

If I burn the exact same files with Prassi Primo DVD – The DVD-R works fine in everything! the only option I change in Prassi is File System Type = UDF – Up to 128 in filename length, any char., plus 8+3 tree (bridge).

Please could someone tell me what setting I am missing in Nero in order for it to work correctly?

I all but have a coaster tree in my garden I would really like to get Nero Working.

Anyone got a solution other than Use Prassi (only have demo version).

Many Thanks

Bill.

Try using the DVD-Video option in Nero instead of the ISO burn. Its straight forward and has worked for me.

Hi All,

Thought I would post an update.

In Nero when writing the DVD-R movie - if I select DVD-ROM (UDF) - NOT DVD-ROM (UDF/ISO) - No Multisession, Physical Partition UDF 1.02, Volume Label must be in CAPS - It now boots fine! - totally weird.

Anyone know the difference between UDF & UDF/ISO?

Many Thanks

Bill.

DVDROM UDF/ISO and DVDROM UDF have one difference and one thing in common.

The common thing: Both project types are not meant to produce Video-DVDs, Nero has a distinct projecttype for them. Use the correct type, and Nero will create the DVDs the way they were meant to be. Everything else depends on luck to work in a specific player.

The difference: The UDF/ISO has two types of directory-information: The newer UDF-standard which was introduced with DVD and CD-RW packet writing, and the older ISO 9660-standard which was originally created for the CD-Rom.

It should normally not be necessary to create UDF/ISO, because UDF contains more information than ISO 9660 and every current operating system is able to read UDF just fine. ISO 9660 can only work as a compatibility layer for older operating systems, i.e. OS/2 or old versions of MacOS.

Bye,
