Some DVD authoring questions

[TDog2112]

I just got a Pioneer 104 burner and my first test was kind of so-so. I used Tmpgenc to encode about 3 minutes of a movie and then used the Ulead MF demo to author and burn it to a DVD-RW disk. The test burn played on my stand alone ok except for the fact that it was in black and white. The encoded mpg2 file plays on my computer just fine. What could cause this?

Q2, I'd like to download the 3 part sample DVD file that the How To guides here at VCDhelp refer to, but every time I try I'm told that "the download limit for today has been exceeded and try again later", or something like that. Is there another source?

And finally, I've seen references to putting more than one video on a DVD-R. Does this have to be set up and done in the initial burn or can you burn in multiple sessions?

Thanks in advance.

1. Maybe a PAL / NTSC problem...not all DVD Players or TVs support both system.

2. No other source.

3. I don't think you can burn in multipe sessions when making dvd-video.
