I started off with one AVI file and used Virtualdub to strip the audio to PCM (48000) and then I used TMPGEnc to encode my AVI file to a m2v file. My settings for TMPGEnc were aspect ratio of 16:9, FPS (23.976), CQ_VBR (55 and max bitrate 7000, min 0), pulldown 3:2 was selected also. Set the resolution to 720x480 so it produced a m2v file which was DVD compliant.

I then used DVDit PE 2.5 to make a menu with some screenshots of the movie as the back ground. I added two buttons one to play the movie and then one for Chapters. Did all the authoring with this and linked everything up. I tested it with DVDit and also WinDVD and it played fine. I imported the m2v file and the wav file and everything worked perfect (so i thought).

I then compiled a DVD Folder so I could have the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders. I then tested the VOB files with WinDVD again and everything played fine, so I continued by making an image with ImgTools. Used DVD Decrypter to burn the image onto a DVD-RW (which i always do to test my DVDs), but this one will not work in my standalone DVD player. Obviously it works in my computer DVD player but that doesn't help.

I am using a P4 1.7 ghz machine with 512 RAM. I have a Sony DRU-500a burner and a Panasonic RV-32 standalone player. This Panasonic player has played everything I have thrown at it in the past. Now with using DVDit to make a menu, the DVD will not play. Also I use Ritek 2x DVD-Rs with a purple bottom. They have worked in the past.

Does anyone see what I may have done wrong? Or just any advice like maybe not to use DVDit and use .... instead. Thanks in advance.

Greg

Is it possible that my stand alone DVD player just does not play authored DVDs?
