DVD2One - compatibility problems??

[dc91gt]

I've got about 20 DVD's now burned with DVD2One (v1.0).

All play perfectly in my Pioneer C503 player (5 disc). However,
everything plays in my pioneers (also have a 343).

The DVD-R I'm using is the Ritek G03.

Anyhow. I bought a new player for my mom and been having
problems with any disc that was authored by DVD2One.

First I bought and Apex - curiousity really.. hear so much about
these junkers.

Apex 1200 - played the DVD-R's I made myself played no problem. These are CCE encoded and DVDMaestro authored. All are nero burned. Played all the SVCD's, VCD's etc. However, it's a POS. Within 10 min the power button popped off, etc.

Now I got her a Philips 764. Claims to play everything as well on their packaging.

Again everything plays... cept for the discs authored by DVD2One.

Now I'm a little nervous... because if this is some inherient problem with DVD2One or "was".. I've got quite a few discs in the collection burned with it.
If my pioneer ever dies.. wtf is going to play these discs.

Two of the higher rated for "playability" both choked on them...

anyone else experience this?

Worse comes to worse.. I can always re-author them.. but thats a pita i don't need.

Anyone know of a recent player on the market that plays DVD2One? I don't consider the old faithful pioneer 343/434/c503 recent..as you can't even find them on ebay anymore.

This dvd2one was just too fast and easy... figures there'd be something wrong with it.

Thanks.

Get a Mintek 1600 DVD player from BestBuy for a mere $47. I bought four of them for my family. I believe the Mintek would play a slice of toast if I could get it into the tray.

I'll probably do that to get around the problem in the short term.

However, I'm real curious what it is that DVD2One does differently or pooches that doesn't allow playback on some players.

This Apex 1200 and Philips - both which play hand rolled DVD-R's on the identical media, don't play any DVD2One disc.

All are burned the same way in nero mind you.

Bob - on a quick note have you played a DVD2One disc on that Mintek? I'm getting a little tired of standing in return lines these days, lol.

I have a Mintek 1600 that wasn't playing DVD+R's; I'm also using DVD2One. Turns out the problem was Nero. My Nero DVD's would play in my Apex 1500, PC DVD-ROM but not the Mintek. Switched to RecordnowMax http://www.stompinc.com/recordnowmax/index.phtml?stp
And Mintek seems to play fine now.

I have a feeling that Nero doesn't close DVD video or data disks properly, or doesn't close them at all. Sometimes when the files are close to the disk capacity limit, a message pops up indicating that it would have to close the disk in order to fit all the data. Sounds like if the data files were a little smaller, it did not intend to close the disk.

I'd actually considered pancakes myself. Less cutting to make them round. And how have you done on burning the data onto the bread? I find the yeast layer to be the best.

I feel the same way about my Mintek 2110 and Apex 1100. They play anything... within reason. :P

I had issues with the beta version of DVDshrink and earlier versions of DVD2one and DVDXCopy. Just get the newest ones. I found that to be my solution to the problems.

You do know that you have control over this, right?
NO MULTISESSION = CLOSED DISC

Be sure to get Nero 5.5.10.20 or higher. Earlier versions have issues.

You only get to choose multi session, or not, only when you are starting a new compilation as DVD-ISO. I think the case has been made elsewhere in the forums that you have to start as DVD-Video, or as UDF/ISO. In either of these two types of compilations you do not get to unselect multi session. They are supposed to be not multi sessioned. However, as I stated in my previous post, I don't think it is happening properly.
