You don't say what you're burning it with.... If you're using Nero 5.5.7.8 or earlier, you have to go to the UDF tab and make sure you set UDF format 2.0.1 - DVD burners won't work with earlier version of the UDF format. I don't believe it matters how you set up the ISO section of the DVD. If you have Nero 5.5.8.0, it will automatically do this for you if you choose DVD-Video (however, I can't get 5.5.8.0 to work with the Panasonic LF-D311 burner - it always says there's nothing in the drive).

FWIW-- I could *never* get a burn to work that was burned with a version of Nero earlier than 5.5.8.0 unless an IMAGE was created first. Even when I selected the UDF option everyone says to use, I could never get it to work. The only thing that worked was creating an image of the DVD files first and then burning the image. This was the same with Nero and RecordMax 4.0.

As mentioned, this is no longer a problem with Nero 5.5.8.0. There is a "DVD Video" option that works perfectly. One thing to note though is that if you already have an older version of Nero, I would uninstall it first. You won't have any problems with a clean install of 5.5.8.0.
