I'm still pretty new....but some stuff seems to defy explanation.
I used DVD Shrink (beta 3.05)to analyze my DVD of "The Professionals"...the whole DVD with extras is less the 4.37GB. I wanted to back it up with the menus, minus all the extra subtitles.
In the first DVD Shrink window..I unchecked all but the English subtitles and then clicked back-up (I did not choose "deep analyze" as this is an uncompressed file). DVD Shrink did it's thing and wrote the files to a directory on my HD. I used Power DVD to test the movie on my HD and it played perfectly...the menus worked, filmogrophay's played, etc. Everything functions when played off my HD.
I opened Nero 6 Ultra..New compilation, UDF/ISO, no multi session, ISO tab had: "ISO Level 2 (Max 31 Chars); Format mode 1; ISO-9660; Allow path depth of more than 8 directories; Allow more than 255 characters in path; Unchecked "Joliet". UDF Tab: Physical Partition/UDF1.02, Burn tab: Write speed 2X (only choice allowed) 1 copy. Clicked NEW
Added the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders..copied all the files from the temp directory on my HD to the VIDEO_TS folder.
Clicked Burn
DVD was created...plays fine in my Pioneer 525...menus and everything works fine...also plays perfectly on my old Apex..again..menus work fine.
The DVD will not play properly on my HP 200i burner. I cannot select any chapters from the menu..it freezes when I select a scene, and when I click the play button it starts at the beginning of the DVD. The other menu features work..filmography's, trailer, etc. The scene selections will not. Also...if I use the slider to advance the movie manually..I get and error that the disk may be damaged or dirty....I cannot click ahead to the next chapters either (using the advance button on the on-screen controller in power DVD). If I let the movie play on the HP burner starting at the beginning of the movie...it plays fine to the point where the first chapter ends and the second chapter begins...it will not transition to the second chapter...it freezes there..as though the player is the standby mode waiting to have the play button clicked to resume the movie...when I click the play button..the movie starts at the beginning again.
Any ideas why the files play fine on the HD (with my HP player/burner)..but when burned to the DVD..my HP cannot handle the DVD?
Logically, it should play the files the same way whether on the HD or the DVD...and if all the players couldn't handle the DVD..I could understand that maybe it's a media or a burn problem...but the DVD plays perfect on my two players but not on the hardware that created it.
Any ideas?
