I tried what you told me (8x write speed and the MDS file burn) and it worked perfectly! The backup I made worked in both my DVD players. Thank you very much for your help!

Ok; I'll redo with the write speed set to 8x and selecting the .mds file for the burn. Will report back as soon as I'vehad a chance to test the new burn. Thank you for your guidance!

I was going to try that, and noticed something when browsing for the image file. When I created the image file, it actually created 2 files: a .iso and a .mds file. So, when I burn the image to disc, am I supposed to just select the .iso file to burn? Or, do I need to do a build and burn with the .iso and .mds files?

Hi, I created a backup using IMGBURN which plays in some DVD players, and won't in other ones. In the ones it won't play in, my old Cyberhome 300 player, the screen shows the two Video_S and Audio_TS folders. I'd used <Create image file from disc> followed by <Write image file to disc> to create the backup. The original DVD plays without problems in both DVD players. Any help is greatly appreciated!! I'm posting: 1) the original disc info displayed in ImgBurn prior to making the image file, 2) the complete log showing the creation of the image file and the burning of the disc: Original disc info: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H653L 0514 (Fibre) Current Profile: DVD-R Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 2,289,472 Size: 4,688,838,656 bytes Time: 508:48:22 (MM:SS:FF) File System Information: Sectors: 2,289,467 Size: 4,688,828,416 bytes Time: 508:48:17 (MM:SS:FF) TOC Information: Session 1...
