can't burn video dvd that works on JVC FA-900BK

[rwolf]

I started out trying the Sony DVD+RW disk that came with the burner. The player did not seem to recognize the disk at all since it imediately said "no disk". I then tried the emtec dvd-r which seemed to at least attempt to read but reports error after a few seconds. Since this player is listed on the dvd player compatibility chart as being able to play mDVD, I decided to try using cdr disks to save my dvd-r. I get same results as with dvd-r. The vobs are made from 4mb/s mpeg2 video with mp2 audio using 'mplex -f 8 -O 0 -o out.vob in.m2v in.m2a'. I then use the following to create the image and burn the cd:

chmod -R u+w disk
dvddirgen -o disk -r
dvdauthor -o disk/ --video=ntsc+4:3+720xfull --audio=mp2+en *.vob
dvdauthor -T -o disk
chmod -R ugo-w disk
chmod -R go-rwx
/opt/schily/bin/mkisofs -dvd-video -o image.iso disk
/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord2 dev=3,0,0 speed=12 -dao -v image2.iso

I have also made disks without the 'dvdauthor -T -o disk' which actually seems to play on my really old Pioneer DVL700 (burned on dvdr) but skips and freezes a lot and eventually just stops completely. On the JVC it just does the same thing, tries to read for 5-10 seconds and then reports error.

My environment:
Linux
Sony DRU500AX
EMTEC DVD-R
Princo cdr (mDVD attempt)

Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.
