Some players become fussy when the capacity of the disk is below a minimum. You can try adding files in the audio_ts directory until you get to 4GB of datad on your DVD-R.

Bad idea there. If you have a DVD-AUDIO player, it will choke on this. Use imgtools, or DVD Maestro tools to create the image with padding outside of the AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS folders. Or add extra clips to your project. The size should not be under 2,000,000 sectors, or just above 4gig.

DVD-Audio player! Where can you find this ? You ave a point though.

Thank goodness I did not come across any player of that breed and my method has been working so far on all the DVD players I have used !

Still probably good enough for the average Joe like me with a basic DVD player for home videos...

For some reason you can search for MP3, WMV, DIVX, DVD-R........ and everything else, except DVD-AUDIO, so here's a link to crutchfield ( http://www.crutchfield.com/S-m6lKTuDGlYY/cgi-bin/ProdGroup.asp?c=6&g=54600&s=0&cc=01&search= ) and the current DVD-AUDIO players they have.

I know for a fact that this will screw up a DVD player that supports DVD-AUIDO, or at least it does my APEX and Panasonic DVD-AUDIO capable players.
