Im trying to burn some DVD's, Im authoring them and saving them as Video_ts Files. they play fine on the computer, but wont fully play in a dvd player once burned

I'm not going to do that; I'm going to post a response here. It is a public forum; posting here helps others with the same problem.

A few things:

1. Make sure the all of the directories and files are entirely uppercase. This is important.

2. You may also need an "AUDIO_TS" directory.

3. Be certain you are authoring the DVD correctly.. what DVD burning program are you using?

[rdr55]

everything is all uppercase, and there is a AUDIO_TS file too.

I'm using NERO and the Burning APP in TMPGEnc

Nero wont complete the burn.
If i use TMPGEnc burner, it finishes the burn and i can play the first couple Titles and thats it, everything else wont play yet the clips i have of each chapter for motion play when shown.

Thanks by the way

im burning 8 disc dvd set that a friend made but the menus are crap, so i wanted to do new menus. the first dvd i authored burned fine, then i started having problems with the not playing, then i got the second to go, and now i cant get anymore. Thanks Again

if my region on my dvd burner is not set will that cause these problems

Did you really author it?
What kind of blank media?

[rdr55]

yes i authored it
used TMPGEnc DVD Author and impoted the vob files and made a menu

the disc i have are Vanguards. when i looked them up here they seemed to be crappy disc, but a friend of mine use's them constantly to make dvd sets and has gone thru a few hundred, so anyways i went and bout some TDK dvd+rw to burn them and see if maybe the vanguards were the problem but it still happens.

Thanks again
