Hope this is the right place for this post.
Purchased a Toshiba SD2900, It's my third standalone.
The problem I'm having I think is related to an authoring problem.
Most of my DVD's I make are from digital cable captures.
My other 2 players are a Aiwa DV380 and a Mintek. Both of these do not suffer from the problem the Toshiba does.
I generaly encode to 352x480 as of course this allows me to get 2 full length films on 1 DVD-R/W. To the problem:
I've broken it down to this, The Toshiba will Not play anything I author with Maestro (seperate VTS, & PGC'S) If it's 352x480.
When I take the same exact files and author with DVD-Lab, It PLAYS!!!
If I author with maestro @ 704x480 The Toshiba WILL play it!!
When I pop in a DVD to the Toshiba authored at 352x480, this is what happens: Half the screen is green with no picture, the top half plays but the picture displayed is 2x the normal size as if there was a zoom
problem. I have opened up the Ifo's of both (authored with maestro and DVD-lab) hoping maybe Maestro puts in that it is 352X480 and the player won't recognise That. However From what I saw the Ifo's Looked Identical.
has anybody seen this before and maybe dealt with it some how??
Not a big Deal as my other stand alones play anything and the Toshiba only cost me $69 (maybe thats the problem LOL)
Thanks for any feed back
