I'm not sure if the problem is from one of the following or a combination.
ImgBurn
Wondershare DVD Creator
Sony DVD Player
I used Wondershare DVD Creator and the final DVD plays fine with VLC media player on my computer. All menu navigation icons appear.
When I use ImgBurn to burn a DVD from the Wondershare DVD Creator VIDEO_TS folder it does not create navigation icons on the final DVD.
Actually, it does when played on a computer with VLC but when viewed on TV from the Sony DVD player there are no navigation icons. So, I can not do any scene/episode/page selections. It will play but I have to use the menu button on the remote and the "next" button to advance to the next episode. In other words, the up/down/left/right controls are useless on the remote because they have nothing on screen to control.This isn't good when giving copies to others as a final product.
I created a DVD on AVS Video Converter and burned an image with ImgBurn and that DVD worked fine on the Sony DVD player. All icons were present and worked.
I'm leaning towards Wondershare DVD Creator being the problem since my test with AVS VC and ImgBurn worked fine.
Is there something missing in the VIDEO_TS folder that I should look for?
I have so many (about 100) VIDEO_TS folders saved/backed up that I would not be thrilled with having to redo all of them again.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and what could I do to solve it?
Thanks.
