burned dvd does not work

[DET5]

I copied a dvd to my harddrive using dvd backup and burned it to a dvd r with toast and the dvd will not work on my dvd player or my computer. The movie will still open and play with DVD Player if I open the saved version on my harddrive. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

I'm a PC user so I can only say what I know and hope it help's. Might be your media your using. The DVD player your trying to play it on does it read other DVD-R's? If so I would think it's just the media. I APPLE and Maxell make good DVD-R. Also some encoder's when making a DVD-R can make a DVD buggy on DVD play back. i have found this out with some software. I would also try the disc on another DVD player and see if that help's

Thanks for the suggestion. I left out a few things. The dvd was under 4.3 GB. and when i try to play it on Apple DVD Player it gives me the error message, "Could not detect a valid media file". Thanks again

Did you burn it using my method posted on how to burn dvd's with toast?!?

its DRASTICALLY important for folder placement.
Check the post by myself on BURNING DVD's WITH TOAST. Ill bump it to the top for you.

I agree. Double check to make sure that you didn't simply drag your VIDEO_TS folder in Toast. VIDEO_TS has to be a sub folder on the DVD!!
