DVD Playing Problem

[Elevenius]

Hello. I was here recently, recieving help with making some files into a DVD with menu. For a quick recap, the files are .avi, with xVid encoding, I think. The CD I was burning them too is a 4.7 gigabyte DVD-R. I used NCST format, since I believe my DVD is American made and sold, (Although it is a Bluray player, which I am not sure if that will affect any of this).I also used an appropriate burning speed. I cannot remember what I used, but I remember having no errors in my verification.

After all of this, I tried the DVD in the player, and it said "Cannot Play", although it recgonized it as a DVD. However, the DVD seems to work perfectly fine in my computer, menu and all. Does anyone know what might be the issue? Thank you.

(Oh, and I used a combination of AVStoDVD and ImgBurn for their respective steps.)

We really need a lot more info here than you have provided.

What did you use to create the DVD? What did you burn with? What media brand did you use? What's your make and model of BluRay player? What country do you live in? As far as your "appropriate burning speed" goes, you should be aware that lower quality media (most of what is sold in the USA and Canada is lower quality media) is more reliable at lower burning speeds. We've had people post here with playback problems that were solved by switching to something like 4x burning.

My bad - you did tell us what you burned with and what you made the DVD with. Might be helpful to answer my other questions though.

AVStoDVD should be OK. NTSC DVD should be OK. ImgBurn should be OK. I'd look towards the speed of burning and possible issues with your brand of media.

Is there such a thing as "too slow"? I'd be willing to use x2 speed if it meant that it would most likely work.

In the "write files and folders" project in Imgburn, info on the "device" tab will tell you the valid burning speeds
for the inserted media. In general, I would start at about half the maximum and go from there.

Thank you. I think I did that the first time, though. If that does not work, should I go one step lower and keep trying?

You may have crap media. On the device tab I mentioned, the media ID is given. What does it say ?
