If you're having probs with DVD Lab, when you compile your dvd on hard disk, try playing it with a software DVD player first.
That way you can test every function, link, audio track ,etc before burning a disc.
If it all plays fine on the PC (from HD - not putting a disc in) but won't play when you burn it : then there are a few possible solutions ......
1. Dvd player - not all standalones play all DVD-R discs. For things like PS2 or XBOX which seems to have weaker lasers, you really need quality blank discs.
2. Media problem - perhaps the dvd discs you are using are not great quality - this would explain why the data plays fine from HD but not when read from a DVD-R. Try changing to Ritek discs.
3. Your video-mode - PAL or NTSC.
The source (SVCD) may have been 480 x 480 NTSC - I tried to use DVDLab to make NTSC SVCD source into PAL DVD. I experienced some of the same probs as you, screen going black with green stripes at the bottom.
One way to get around that problem is to re-encode it to the desired video-mode before giving DVD Lab the m2v and mp2 files. The encoder i found best for this is Tmpgenc - it can take almost any source and change it to PAL/NTSC 4:3 or 16:9 prior to authoring.
Keep an eye on your audio playing times too!!
If your change of format (SVCD to DVD) involves a different frame rate (maybe 23.976fps or 30fps going to 25fps) then your video playing time may slightly deviate from your audio playing time.
Hope you get some luck in fixing this problem mate!
