Movie won't play on Standalone Player

[rmacfarland]

I been trying to back up one of my DVD. It's a old movie. One side
is Widescreen and the other is Full Screen.. I have made backup
of other DVD's with no problem and they play fine..


I am ripping the DVD with DVD Decyptor v3.1.7.0 and using DVD
shrink v3 Beta 5. It rips and shrinks with no errors. I burn the DVD
with Nero ultraEdition 6.0.0.19. My DVD is a LG GSA4040B multi mode.
I tried a couple of Princo DVD-r. But they were not working I and was making to many coasters So I bought some Maxell DVD-RW for testing purposes. I am burning
at 2X. My standalone player is a Panasonic DVD-RV32. As I said early
I have burn a few movies with no problem and they play fine. When
I put it into the standalone it goes 0:00 like it's going to play for a second
and then it says NO PLAY. I able to watch it on my computer though.

One think I noticed different on this movie is there is only two .BUP files
one for the VIDEO.TS and one for for VTS_01_0. Other movies I have done have one for each VOB file.

When I burn in Nero I am using
Max. 11=8x3char
Format is grey out to mode 1
Character set is ISO 9660(standard ISO CDRom)

What could be the problem. I have ripped/Shrink the DVD a few times
and still the say thing. It wants to play than stops in less then a second.

I get no error on any of the software packages I use, so I figure is should
work.

Regards,
Randy

I have similar problems with my set-top box too. I can actually eject the disc then try to play again and it works. The error messages on my set-top boxer differ too. Sometimes I get 'No Disc' straight away, and sometimes the box loads the disc as 'DVD' and then says 'No Disc'. I too thought it was down to discs but it doesn't seem to make any difference at all. Writing speeds make no difference either. I don't seem to have any problem when I rip from a commercial disc, my problems are with files that I have downloaded, TMGEnc'ed, IFOEdit'ed and then burnt with Nero 6 (using the DVD UDF/ISO format as opposed to DVD-Video) What I have started to do is, once IFOEdit has made the VOB's and BUP's, I then load the VOB's and BUP's into DVDShrink, add region 2 back in and I have a higher success rate (not 100%) I would be interested in any suggested solutions offered.

6.0.0.19 has some problems. you can try upgrading to 6.0.0.28, the current latest version and see if it helps anything. also you can download Image Tools Classic and use it to make an ISO file from your VIDEO_TS folder and then use DVD Decryptor to burn the ISO. this is a pretty much fool proof way and if it works you'll know the problem is with Nero.

nero = cd burning
RNM = dvd burning

Tried both ideas. Upgraded to Nero 6.0.0.28 and it still fails.
Tried ImgTool Classic same results. It tries to play and then says
NO PLAY.

I also tried the same disc on a RCA DVD player and it came back
and told me it was incompatiable DVD. Whatever that means.


Any other ideas?

Flaky / intermittant playback is more likely to be media than anything else. A great many players are very fussy about which media you use.

if the iso method failed then the problem isn't with the software. its either bad media or possibly a burner problem.

are you ripping in file mode?
