MPEG1/2 ISO on DVD-R

[geno325is]

I know my Apex DVD 3disc changer supports MPEG1/2 ISO on CDR ( screen fires up with file manager screen displaying the .mpg files )

Can I do that on DVD-R ?

Try it with a DVD-RW.

thanks, but its not the format of the DVD im asking. it can be DVD-R or RW, its how I burn it so my Apex can see it as raw mpeg

[daredevil]

you can burn your mpegs on a dvd like you burn your cd, iso format,
that's what i did before I know tmpeg dvd author, now i take my mpeg (48khz, 352*288 at least) and author them with tda, so i can have chapters.

Anyway, you can burn your mpeg on a dvd as iso , it may work, but there is sometimes some issues, some dvdplayer read mpeg on cd but not on dvd

Anyone have first hand knowledge burning mpegiso on DVD media to play on Apex 3disc changer?

I cannot comment on the Apex 3-Disc changer, but I can tell you that the Norcent DP-300 can play raw MPEG 1/2 ISO on a dvd+r. I did an experiment today and burned some vcd files (ones I created) onto a dvd+r and tried them out in my Norcent. Played beautifully with no authoring!

I used Nero and burned the disc as a dvd data (ISO) disc. (Oh...the Norcent can also play a vob file with no problems also.) I'm pretty impressed for a $45 investment.

Duh. I'm suggesting you use a -RW to test, since it is erable to try again.

RAW ISO implies using a RAW mode. Dump the files onto the disc. There are only a few options. ISO 9660, no restrictions, MODE 1. Either try Level 1 or Level 2. That's about all you can do. If neither work, it won't play RAW ISO mode discs.
