only previews play upon playback on DVD player

[perk]

I am using Verbatim DVD+R DL. It seems to burn well using the Video TS file, but upon playing back on my DVD player, all I see are the previews and the main movie menu. After selecting play movie, all I get is a blank screen. The DVD plays back fine on my computer.

 

Any suggestions?

did you change the booktype to -ROM?

I'm not able to find the option -ROM under booktype. Please guide me.

ok what is your drive?

I believe my drive is LG. This is what shows up DVDRAM HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4160B. I am not as techie as others, so I apologize if this is not the answer I was supposed to give.

Remember that this should all be automatic in the newer versions of ImgBurn

 

When you burn + verify something it'll mention the booktype in the log window when the verify starts.

 

If I had to guess, I'd say the problem is with the source files themselves. Something odd in the IFO files perhaps? The PC player can be much more forgiving.

I click on Change for: Drive (For DVD+R DL Media) and then I see by Current Setting: Unknown (Failed), and it won't let me go any further. I have tried this with two movies. I am currently using the newest version of Imgburn, so I guess as you mentioned it must be something in the IFO files. Any suggestions on how to avoid these problems with future files?

Hmm weird, maybe that drive doesn't support booktyping... or it does it automatically and you can't change it?

 

Or, perhaps you need a disc in the drive for it to accept the command?

 

Have you checked for firmware updates?

[perk]

I tried it with and without a disc in the drive. Neither works. I went to the site to check for firmware updates, but I'm on dial up...so I was hoping to avoid it. I can't remember how I got to the firmware update page earlier. Could you tell me the site address and exactly what to download? With any luck, that's what the problem is.
