mswalker Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 OK. I am having severe difficulties and feeling totally incompetant. I am doing dvd editing/burning for a friend's business. I have edited the material in windows movie maker and then formatted them to iso in ImgBurn. Was using DVD+RW to begin with but was frustrated with how long the formatting took, so switched to DVD-R. I just am using the burner in my pc (Toshiba Satellite A100/105) However, both of these work flawlessly in a pc (have tried it in several to make sure it wasn't just working in mine) but not in several dvd players. The one I have personally tried is a 2002 Toshiba. The manual says that it may/may not read a DVD-R. I have tried writing at AWS and specifically 4x. I read on other forums that I might need to change the book type but I haven't had any luck getting it to change, since I don't know what burner my computer is...if it's even any of those. The other issue is, for my friend's business I need these dvds to be able to play on anything, since we can't really tell them..."sorry, your dvd player's too old." hope this isn't a stupid question...but I'm at a total loss! Here's the log: I 10:04:45 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

mmalves Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 What's the output of Windows Movie Maker? You might need to convert it to DVD-Video (the format that all DVD players understand) before burning to disc. To do this you can use DVD Flick, ConvertXtoDVD or similar programs. As for DVD+RW, you only need to format it once: after that, you can simply overwrite it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinningwheel Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Also, I believe you can only booktype + discs, not - discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswalker Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 OK! thank you so much for the help. I downloaded dvdflick and it worked like a charm in a standalone...with only one major glitch. When I play the dvd in anything, the audio and video are not synchronised. However, if you stop/pause it and press play again, they are completely together. The file on my computer plays just fine. I had to change some things (swap out clips, add a title, add music) on the movie and re-encoded it and burned a new dvd and it was exactly the same, except that it was off worse when it starts. Anything that I'm doing wrong? and should I be in a different forum for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Sounds as it's an issue with DVD Flick. ImgBurn just burns the files as they are and doesn't change anything regarding sound/video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
