[righteous]

greetings Burners,

 

i have an iso file. the file contains 2 folders (1. VIDEO_TS 2. AUDIO_TS). These 2 folders are from a dvd (vidoe, audio, menus, extras).

 

what i need help with is this :

i would like to create a working dvd which will play on my dvd player (excluding my computers dvd player).

 

i know i either have to burn the iso or extract the 2 folders and burn those.

 

ive tried to make a dvd with ImgBurn but it only plays on my dvd. i used a dvd+rw disc.

-------------------------------------------------------

 

what method should i use?

which disc type?

why didnt the disc i made play on my dvd player (not comp)

please help me

 

thank you to everyone in advance

Hi righteous, welcome to the forum.

 

It's likely that your DVD player doesn't like DVD+RW discs. You can however fool it into thinking the disc is a normal DVD-ROM disc.

 

Before you burn, click the 'Change booktype' button (a small picture of a book to the right of the copies dropdown). Choose your drive brand, then click 'Change for' and choose DVD+RW, then for 'New setting' choose DVD-ROM.

 

Let us know how you get on, but if it doesn't work post the burn log and details of your DVD player.

[cornholio7]

bitsetting might be a real issue

[digidragon]

I was hoping that righteous had a drive that supported bitsetting.

 

righteous, what standalone DVD player do you have? (make and model)

i have a ps2, and a durabrand portable dvd player ( model # - DUR-1700) (MAKE -DURABRAND

[digidragon]

Well, apparently your durabrand can play DVD+RWs. Maybe it's the brand of disc it doesn't like. Put the +RW in your drive, go to Write mode in ImgBurn, copy the info in the window at the right, and post it here.

hello?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

hello?

 

I hope you're taking the piss?! If not, you want to be!

 

People will get around to answering in their own time. We don't sit on the forum refreshing the page every minute just in case someone's posted.

 

Now that's out of the way...

 

Can you not try burning to something other than that DVD+RW?

 

Physical Format Information (Last Recorded):

Disc ID: CMC MAG-W01-00

Book Type: DVD-ROM

 

Were the other DVD+RW's you burnt booktyped to DVDROM?

 

Maybe your player doesn't like it when they're like that.

 

Change it back to DVD+RW by going into the booktype screen, selecting RICOH, selecting 'Current Media (For DVD+RW Media)' in the drop down list and then DVD+RW in the 'New Setting' list. Then just click 'Change'.

[righteous]

yes it finally works. thank you very much

 

now one more thing :

 

- i know how to do it with dvd+rw discs. can you tell me the steps to do it for dvd-rw, dvd-r, and dvd+r discs? or maybe you could point me in the direction of a tutorial.

 

thank you to everybody in advance.

 

please think about filling my last request

[digidragon]

You can't change the booktype of -R and -RW, the format doesn't allow it. To change the booktype of +R just go into the same screen as before and choose 'Current Media (For DVD+R Media)'.

after i change the current media to dvd+r, then what should choose for the 2nd drop down list by "change"?

[blutach]

Change it to DVD-ROM. OK and you're done.
