I have a home movie made by a "professional" in another country and it plays just fine on any DVD player on any computer I have found.
However, I cannot play it on a regular (cheap) DVD player attached to my TV set. The DVD player says "check the media".

I have tried DVD Shrink 3.1 and Nero, just like I can do with other videos, but this one is different. I get no error messages and it seems to copy just fine, but in the end I get a duplicate of the original.

The DVD contains the follwoing files:
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB

Can anyone suggest a solution? This is a movie of my dad's 100th birthday party.

Maybe PAL or NTSC differences?

Yes, the TV system in that country is PAL.

You are in the US? If you need to convert Pal to NTSC try this link:

Thanks, that's one way.
But I would prefer a method of copying the DVD for some family members/friends.

Surely there must be a way to convert it?
