DVD-9 to DVD-5

[hevsdr]

I followed the guide to make a DVD-9 to DVD-5 using DVD decrypter and Instant copy. It seemed to go well. When I tried to play the DVD on my computer it gave me an error message of: A disc with an unsupported format in drive D:" And of coarse, when I put it in my DVD player (APEX-5131) it said "Disc Error".I also looked at it using explorer and it gave me an error of; |"Disc not formatted. May be corupt or in a format not readable by windows." I used a memorex DVD+RW, to make sure it would work first. But no luck... any ideas???
P.S. It played fine off of my hard drive.

My first question would be how did you burn it? Did you use the Instant Copy burn engine? I have used the IC burn engine and had no problems in my DVD player, a JVC. Perhaps the lack of a AUDIO_TS folder could be a problem? The lastest patch to IC fixes the lack of the AUDIO_TS folder. If you burned to your hard drive, you would have the proprietary .pdi files which would need to be converted before burning. See the www.doom9.org web site to download tools for this conversion. Finally, lets say you use NERO (my favorite) to burn. I always use the UDF/ISO DVD ROM mode to burn. Hope this helps some.

hi hevdsr.

i use dvd decryptor and instand copy trailversion 7.0 from pinnacle.
my burner is aopen

with dvd decryptor i rip the entire video_ts folder to my hard drive.
with instand copy i choose the hard drive and select the video_ts.ifo file for the input and my aopen dvdwriter as target drive and let it go for a wile. after about 2 hour's (depending of the size of the movie) my dvddisc is ready.

i use datatrac dvd+rw to try it out on my pc and it works great.

but before you begin make sure that you're dvd+rw disc is formated.

you can try to put you're dvd+rw that you made in you're writer for playback because some dvd players cannot play these cd's.

in a standalone dvd player a audio_ts folder is a must. even if there is nothing inthat folder.

make sure that all file's extentions are uppercase.

at this time i made 9 copy's of dvd movie's that all works great in my pc.
but havent triede it on standalone yet.

Well, Thank you all for your help.
Finally, I did it!!! Only to a DVD+RW, so now for the next challenge,see if I can do it twice. Just so you know how stupid some people are, the reason I got the error message was because when I woke up after it doing it's thing for the night, I saw the yellow exclaimation point (that's never good), asking me if I wanted to erase what was on the DVD+RW. Well of course I said cancel. So Duh!!!!!! I never wrote it to the disc!!!!
