I have conquered the task of backing up a DVD that I own and burning it to a DVD-R. Great. But it is not readable on the two Commercial DVD players I have.

Anyone know why?

Equipment and Software used:
Mac G4/OS 10.2
LaCie A05 external Burner
Ripped with DVDbackup
Compressed with DVD2OneX (if over 4.3G's)
Burned with Roxio Toast Titanium
Commercial DVD players:
Yamaha DV-C6660
Sanyo DWM-390

Another way to as-
"Does software exist (free or otherwise) for the Mac that Rips, Compresses and Burns DVD-R's that Commercial DVD players can read.

Thanks!
Jason

This can be maddening. Some DVD players cannot handle DVD-R. I've run into this before. You can find compatibility lists for DVD players on the web.

The word is that the really cheap ones from China can handle almost anything. This is most likely your problem but there are other possibilties. I have made several disks that play fine in Apple DVD Player using the "Open Video_TS" option but will not autoplay on the computer, nor will they play on a DVD player.

This has to do with how they are burned. Apparently it has to be burned as a disk image. I will not presume to tell you how or why as I am no expert in this area.

Usually it is the media that is the problem. I am currently struggling with this issue on a Panasonic XP30 DVD player which is supposed to be quite good at playing DVD-R.

My advice is try media from a few different sources and lower the burn speed. Lowering the burn speed from 4x to 2x has solved my issues

Hope this helps

one other quick thought....

Ensure when you are burning in Toast that you are selecting DVD-Video or DVD-UDF. Sorry I not sure of the exact wording as I am usting Toast 6.

Well, I appreciate all yall's help. The problem is solved pretty much - what I discovered was that 1) you must choose DVD in Roxio Toast AND configure the disk exactly like the orig. that is...write the title of the disk in caps just like the original AND (most importantly) have a VIDEO_TS folder with the contents in IT, and an AUDIO_TS folder right below it. This method has not failed me yet!
Thanks Again!
