Burned VIDEO_TS with imgburn, DVD doesn't play

[Wotching]

I burned a DVD with imgburn onto a DVD+R, including the AUDIO_TS folder, and put the disc in my DVD player hooked up to my TV. The player said "check for scratches on disc" and wouldn't play it. Fair enough; I know that many DVD players don't accept DVD+R's. So I put it into my PS2, which DOES accept +R's, but it said "TV system doesn't match". That was odd.

 

I tried playing it in my computer with media player classic. It worked fine for the menu screen, with video and sound and everything, but when I started playing the actual video, the video played without sound.

 

So then I went to my OTHER DVD player hooked up to my other television. It played the SOUND on the DVD, but not the video! Even when I pressed play to get out of the menu and start the movie, it had perfect sound with no video.

Is there a problem with the VIDEO_TS folder I torrented

More than likely. Go buy the DVD, which will be properly authored and don't tell us about illegal movie downloads please.

This media is very low quality. Trash even.

Your burner is getting very long in the tooth.

Typical Memorex DVD+R is trash? I'm not looking for anything fancy, bud. I just want to burn the disc and have a good time with some friends.

 

And, yes, I have a burner that's several years old. Do you recommend I burn it on my brand new Thinkpad? Will that help?

Memorex is the brand. The dye is CMC, which is trash. Use Verbatims or Taiyo Yudens. You can try the newer burner and lower your write speed.

work out where you live

 

PAL or NTSC

 

You cannot generally play PAL on an NTSC Ps2/TV/Hardware or NTSC on a PAL ps2/Tv/Hardware

 

If your in UK on your dvd player press AUTO or choose NTSC if elsewhere your pc is best bet to play it
