Won't play in standalone (but should) please help!

[mikewill53]

Hi thanks for any help in advance,
The DVD's that I backup using bulkpaq media don't work in my sony DVD standalone player. Yet the ones that my mate backs up using the same disks do. Anyway if I give the method I use hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
First I use decrpytor in file mode to put the DVD on my drive.
Then I use shrink to create an image file
Then I use Nero 6 to burn the image file onto disk (nerosmart -> dvd -> burn image)
My DVD burner is an optorite dd0203, on a side note the DVD's I create dont seem to spin initially when there put in the DVD player. Do I perhaps need to add an autorun.ini file?
Thanks for any help
Mike

No you should'nt have to add any sort of autorun.inf file to the DVD to play. Try burning the image with DVDDecrytper instead of Nero and see if that makes a difference.
Also have you tried the method your friend uses to see if it works for you?

[mikewill53]

Yeh thats the method he uses, I dont know if he uses any different settings on nero though

Use the checkbox in Nero where it offers to verify the data. Also try burning at a lower speed.

Yeah, as was suggested earlier, I'd try for the heck of it using DVD Decrypter to burn rather than Nero (you never know). I no longer use Nero - I use CopyToDVD, which you could also give a try (they have a free trial that you could use)

Nick,
I was under the impression that Decrypter used the burning software that you had installed. It does not install it's own.

ie, it will call upon Nero to burn, even tho' Nero's GUI does not pop up.
Cheers,
