Won't play on stand alone DVD player

[RandyL72]

I have about 30 VOBs which I jpined with VOBEdit and then ran IFOEdit on the joined VOBs. I then burnd them to a DVD+R and tried to play the disc on my stand alone DVD player. The player recognised the disc as a DVD, but got this message:
"Disc Error:
Playback feature may not be available on this disc."
I tried to burn the VOBs and related IFO and BUP files with Sonic Record Now and ProDVD both and neither would work.

What else do I need to do?

Will it play on the PC though?

[RandyL72]

Yes, as soon as I put in the drive WinDVD pops up and will start playing

Does your set top player play other DVDr discs?

[RandyL72]

I ran a test DVD with only 3 vobs on it. I burned it with prodvd and it worked, sork of. The audio was not insync with the video, the video was jumpy and dropped in and out.

[sacajaweeda]

Well your audio and video problems aren't a result of the burning process. Any of that stuff was pre-existing in whatever files you burned to DVDr. All burning is is a data transfer.

[RandyL72]

Would I need to re-rip the vobs? and why wouldn't the finished dvd play on the stand alone player?

[RandyL72]

Thanks for the help all. I figured it out tonight and am watching the DVD on my stand alone player as I type. For some reason it shrank the video a little and the audio doesn't sound right. It's not bad, I guess I could live with it. I there are any Ideas as to why it did these things, I would appreciate any feedback.

have u tried putting pbc on manually with ur standalone dvd player?

[RandyL72]

PBC? I guess that would be a no. I also found several of the files I burned didn't have any audio and a lot of the others had the audio and video out of synch about a secound and a half. I don't know what's up with it.

[anglia]

this is how i do it-

when i download a film i always make sure it is an xvid, divx or dvd rip ( makes no difference about the frame rate.

i open the file in vdub - go to file information to check out the audio 48000 hz or 44100, 2 channels or 5 channels - here where i live we have pal - so i change the audio rate(if needed) to 44100 and save wav file.
when i have done that i click on audio - no audio - i then frame serve video only to tmpgenc ( save as ???.vdr.avi) this confuses tmpgenc to think it is an avi file. dont use tmpgenc wizard - close the box - open the ???.vdr.avi from vdub and encode - i always encode - full screen keep aspect ratio 1150kps vbr ( pal) u know have have a video m1v file
open vdub again with the m1v file . go to audio wav file - open wav file saved earlier if its in sync - close vdub and open tmpgenc. close wizard - click on load - clicl on inlock - u now have an not greyed out part to the right - click on audio only . in audio browse - open wav file . output file to an mp2 .and click run


when that is done - open mpeg tools - multiplex add m1v file add mp2 file and run ( save under new name like full.mpg) u now have the full film in mpeg and in sync . if u want to cut the film use mpeg tools merge and cut set start time and end time - always save with a new name ( eg cd1.mpg)

second part of film - open full.mpeg in tools merge and cut select start time as the end time in the first cd and end time as end time save file as cd2.mpeg - 2 cd s in sync!!!
more questions just ask

[RandyL72]

Should I do this before or after I join the VOBs with Vobedit?

[anglia]

after

[RandyL72]

Thanks for the help, I will try this in the next couple of days. Will post how things go.
