dvd2one>UDF

[RaySoly]

Strangely after using the demo version of dvd2one I could playback 30min.dvds on my sony standalone but since using the authorized full version I can only play the movie on the mac.When I checked the burn I noticed that although most dvds are UDF formatted the one burned w/toast/dvd2one was mac os extended.Since I can't reuse the demo I can't find out why I could play from the demo and not the full version .

It does play fine from the mac w/chapters etc....but I get message from both my standalone players.....CANNOT PLAY!!!

Clues anyone?

What steps are you following to burn your disc?

Some people create a disc image first using the VIDEO_TS folder created by DVD2OneX (or other software) and then burn that to DVD.

Maybe my DVD player is more forgiving -- I don't ever go through the extra step of creating a disc image. Since you have Toast (right?) try this, if you haven't already used this method:

1) Open Toast, and select "DVD" from the "Other" drop-down menu.

2) Drag the folder that contains the VIDEO_TS folder into the Toast window. This means that you'll have a disk icon with the name of your folder/whatever you want to call your DVD (UPPERCASE_and_no_spaces), with a subfolder called VIDEO_TS which contains all your DVD files.

3) Remove any .DS_Store files that might have crept in there (Mac file hocus-pocus). Check the VIDEO_TS folder too.

4) Add a new folder on the same level as VIDEO_TS called AUDIO_TS.

-- CITIZEN_KANE
------ AUDIO_TS
------ VIDEO_TS
---------- video_ts.ifo, etc.
---------- vts_01_0.vob, etc.

Looks good? Burn. Enjoy.

don't know if it was the spaces in the title or the .DS_files but fixing both has resulted in perfect copies .

Thanks schmeg

It was the spaces in the title that was causing you problem.


I think there are lots of people who just dont realize you cant just drag the video_ts folder into toast and click burn.

I think ill make a post on proper dvd burning method from DVD2ONE!
