thank you very much for the info, I will try to implement your recommandations.

I am really at a lost again! My client wants mpeg-2 DVDs that both play on a computer DVD player and on stand alone DVD player. Does this seem possible, realistic? I first thought it was because I read somewhere that all DVDs are using mpeg-2. but that is false right? The reason the client wants mpeg-2 DVDs is that their DVD users may want to play with the footage on some software and it supports mpeg-2. Should I simply tell the client that I can only safely provide mpeg-2 DVDs readable for the computer DVDs and forget the standalone DVDs which have different ages and abilities?

In what format you transfered to your hard drive? mpgeg-2 (from a one hour miniDV tape), through firewire. Roxio, mpeg-2 720-480, 29.7 fps, roxio mpeg-1 audio encoder, stereo, 48 khz, 16 bit, 22400 kbps. My files are coming from 1-hour long unedited miniDVs, that is why I am transfering them in mpeg-2, they are easier to handle. How do build a structure? Do I need to go through that, I dont perform any type of editing? thanks Hey, you know what, since my client doesn't require the files to be transfered in AVI, I should look into buying myself a DVD recorder and transfer the minidv tapes straight from the camera to the recorder, what da ya think? I just need to know that the DVD recipients will be able to take the mpeg-2 files from the disks and transfer them on their hardrive for some editing needs, if they want to.

Hi I have to transfer 400 minidv tapes into 400 DVDs, in mpeg-2 format. I was recommended to use imburn. I did one burn which plays back great on my PC DVD player , but cannot be read on a standalone DVD player (connected to TV). Can anyone tell me how to make a DVD playable and usable for both? thanks
