Hi,
I could go into detail, but I wont bore you. Basically I work in an IT department and have received an ISO image created by an IT guy in the states of a DVD that was created by a publishing company for one of our subcontractors. We no longer have the oringinal DVD, but only this ISO image that was created, he went into some detail about using DVD shrink to shrink the DVD down to 2GB's for easier downloading across our WAN
I have burnt the ISO image onto a DVD-R disc and it plays back fine on my PC and the laptop that I used for the presentation I needed to get done. I need now however to be able to play back this DVD on a stand-alone DVD player at on off-site presentation, and I have verified that the DVD player we will be using supports DVD-R. Easy I thought, it worked in a PC, so its going to work on a stand-alone DVD player, so I whipped the disc into my DVD player at home, only to receive a disc unknown error. I have verified that my DVD player supports DVD-R (Panasonic HT900) and have tried other stand alone DVD players with the same result. I have tried a Verbatim disc as I suspected that perhaps the quality of my disc was not up to scratch but this also failed.
I have a funny feeling that somewhere along the line this video has been copied, burnt, ISO'd, copied again, then ISO's again etc and I have ended up with something thats not formatted correctly or something. The DVD disc when burnt has an AUDIO_TS folder and VIDEO_TS folder on it, and plays fine on every PC based DVD player I have tried.
Any suggestions on what I could do to fix this DVD? Perhaps I could re-author it? If so, how?
Thanks
Stu
