If you burned using nero - there is a possibility it did not FINALISE the disc, older versions of nero suffered from this - I think 5.5.9.17 onwards was much improved.
Nero can be very fussy, I would suggest you use recordnowmax - this is A1 for me with no problems encountered.
I am very surprised indeed, veritas IS the same as I was suggesting.
IF the dvd does not play in ur pc, I think we will have to look at ur method first rather than saying it could be bad media.
Let me know of ur method:
What do you use to rip
What do you use to process (dvd2one/dvdshrink)
What settings do you use to burn within recnowmax.
What brand is the media ur using.
AND MOST IMPORTANT - after you have processed the files (via dvd2one/dvdshrink) are those files residing in a folder called VIDEO_TS (in uppercase).
well i have dvd decrypter , but i was told using dvd shrink automatically decrypts the dvd.
so after i shrink it i usually use encode level 6. because it is the only level small enough to fit.i guess that is the settings you speak of.
the media i use is MEMOREX 120 min 4.7gb. and most importantly it is in folder VIDEO_TS, plus an additional empty AUDIO_TS FOLDER.thank you very much for your time and your patience.
thank you for all your help. the problem was that i was encodeing the disc at level 6.for some reason i guess the quality was so poor that it would not play it.
I have had a quick dip into dvdshrink, and was quite amazed at the level of re-encoding options. (and wondered how low the bitrate could be reduced, and if a standalone would have any problem in playing it).
You have actually answered my question.
For this reason and others, I shall be sticking to dvd2one - once a method works, no need to change.
Anyway glad to hear you solved it, I probably wasn't much help in the end.
