New trouble burning video DVDs

[jimmymilner]

I've been successfully burning DVDs using VCD files with the audio converted to the proper format. I use TMPGEnc DVD Author to do this and have also burned DVDs with Nero 5.5 by copying files in the VIDEO_TS folder and using the Video DVD portion of Nero.

I have never had a problem until recently. I bought a package of DVD-R disks, successfully burned 3 DVDs. Since then I have tried 7 times without success. The file system looks fine, but when I put them in either of my DVD players I get a "No Disk" error.

I haven't intentionally changed any settings and the burner still burns data disks just fine.

I installed DVD Info and the only difference I noticed was a disk that works lists Book type as DVD-ROM in the one that doesn't work and as DVD-R on a disk that works. Here is the log for both:

Thank you

NERO has the option of setting book type to DVD-ROM. Maybe you accidently disabled it.
