Check Disc Message

[Northmen 24]

I burned this iso file to a Verbatim DVD-R disc and the pop up window said that the operation was completed successfully. However, when I put the disc in my LG BluRay player, I received a "Check Disc" message.

I have attached the burn log. I hope that it is helpful in determining the issue.

What exactly is this an ISO of?  Given its name Billy Joel - The Stranger (1977) [SACD] (1998 Remaster ISO) it seems it may not be a DVD Video disc.  That could be why the LG player is throwing an error message.  What are the contents in the root directory of this disc?  Put it in your PC drive, open its root directory contents in Windows/File Explorer and make sure there's a VIDEO_TS folder there.  If there isn't, then it isn't a standard DVD Video disc and won't play by just inserting it in a player.

 

SACD may be the key here.  SACD was the Super Audio CD format.  That's probably why the player won't play it.  The player may not support Super Audio CD, given how not widely adopted the format was. In fact, only hybrid SACD's will play on a CD player because they have an Audio CD layer.

 

SACD's also had specific copy protection mechanisms on them, which means ISO's of SACD's may not be viable.

You're correct. When I looked at the artwork, it refers to it as a Super Audio CD.

Thanks!

Yes, Super Audio CD's were a mixture of an odd beast.  Sony intended it to be the successor of the Audio CD format, but it was closer in execution to the DVD book standard.  It was essentially a "data" DVD.  (Technically, unlike CD's, all DVD discs are "data" discs, as the DVD Video disc is a category of data DVD.)  The discs were DVD in structure, but hybird SACD's had an Audio CD layer on them so a standard CD player could play music from them and an SACD player could access the more contents on the DVD layer.
