Program to verfiy that my DVD will work on standalone DVD players

[slam87]

After editing some DVDs with Vobblanker and PGCEdit, they still work in software DVD players such as PowerDVD but not on my standalone. Is there any program that I can use to check that it will work on standalone DVD players? Some of them don't work on my standalone after I've done some kind of "advanced" editing instead of just basic blanking.

There are some apps that will tell you if have some bad sectors and things like that but nothing that can tell whether it will play on a particular DVD player. A DVD may not play in a particular player because that player is defective or the firmware in it is less than perfect or the laser is weak.

Or your media is crap, or your DVD player only plays pressed discs, or your player only plays DVD+R with the book type set to DVD-ROM, or what your writer's strategy for that particular blank is like... you get the idea.

I'd probably start by looking up the player in question in the list to the left and see how other users of the same player get on with it - some players will play a beer mat if you make a hole in the middle, others are not so tolerant.

At the end of the day, sometimes you can just get plain lucky !

I may be wrong, buit I think he is asking if there is any software that will check for DVD standard complience - not the actual physical reading of the disc. I know when burning video_ts files in Nero, there's some basic complience check.. but does anything do more?

EDIT: damn simulposts.. looks like the above poster got it right... if only it wasn't $500

Yeah that's exactly what I'm asking. A DVD standard compliance check.

I don't know how accurate it is - nor how "in depth", but Nero does some degree of compliance checking before it writes to a disc... is this any use ?
