Burned DVD-R using Nero dont work (player) using Ulead works

[aleks77]

DVD Player: Panasonic RV31 (and some Sony, my cousin's)
DVD Writer: Pioneer DVR-A05/105 [No firmware updates]
Media: H2O (MXLRG01), Maxell (MXLRG01).

My first DVD-R was burned onto a Fujifilm DVD-R using Ulead VideoStudio 7, after editing a little movie I made from imported clips from my digicam, i pressed the "Create Disc" button, made the menus, burned the DVD-R and it worked in every DVD Player I tried. I bought H2O cds mostly for data backup, but i wanted to try to backup a DVD, copied the VIDEO_TS folder into the computer, then tried burning using Nero 6, selected DVD-Video, unchecked all the stuff it said (for full compatibility) and burned it.

Tested it in PC, works fine, menus and all, go to my DVD player - "Not Readable" but a little "DVD-Video" button on the player itself is on....so i try my cousin's dvd player (sony something, not sure) not work either. So i burn the same DVD using Copy2DVD, no luck, so I thought its the media, bought the Maxell (which have the same dye as my cheap H2Os, some luck) and also doesnt work.

I dont think its the media however, because I burned a 100mb MPG movie onto an H2O disc, using Ulead Video Studio 7, which renders the video and created AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders in the DVD and converts the MPG into dvd format, and it works flawlessly in my player.

I have no idea what to do, someone please help, any comments/suggestions would be really appreciated, perhaps I should try a different software? Like make an ISO image and burn using DVD Decrypter?

Thanks.

Anyone any insight?

Did you copy the DVD files with your computer, or did you rip them with a ripper?

its the whole VIDEO_TS folder......i "got it" from "somewhere".

I asked other people, they say it works, same movie. I think its software or the way im burning, maybe i need to burn it as just DVD ISo....and create the AUDIO_TS folder, rather then burn as DVD-Video in Nero?

Read carefully. How did you get the DVD files on your computer? Did you do a straight copy, or did you rip them using DVD Shrink, DVD Decryptor, how?

i "got it" off a site, and it worked for other people - im pretty sure it was ripped using dvd shrink or something.
