Actually do you verify the burns you do ? Secondly what image is it that you are burning ? For instance the fact that it plays on your PC but not on your standalone might indicate that maybe it's a region issue or NTSC/PAL conflict etc.... We need some more info from you before we can really help you.

lfcrule1972 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Ok - from that log it appears that you don't verify your burns, you can tick the little box in the program GUI to do that during a burn. However, I think it's more likely that the episode might be in a different format to the TV system your dvd player is set up for. Can I assume that you didn't record the TV episode yourself ? For instance if you live in the US your TV system is NTSC and most of your DVD players seem to only want to play NTSC format discs. Now if you obtained a TV episode from say England with our PAL system your standalone player will more than likely give you a message that it cannot play the disc whereas the PAL/NTSC thing does not affect your PC and therefore that will play it back ok. Obviously the reverse can apply if you're living in England/Europe etc but it seems that our DVD players are less fussy about PAL/NTSC.
fingerbang Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 i used diko to do all that conversion stuff. if that means anything, it was an avi file. i did set it for ntsc as i live in canada.
lfcrule1972 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I have never used diko so I wouldn't know how to confirm all the settings, it just sounds to me as tho the conversion didn't work properly. You can play it on the PC ok so it doesn't sound like an error with the .iso.........
