DVD doesn't play on any DVD player but IFOs and VOBs are ok

[babyeinsteinfan6710]

For some reason, whenever I burn one of my DVDs, it doesn't even work, not even on my computer. IMGBurn can complete the burn, but whenever I test it on both Computer and DVD player, it doesn't work. The IFOs and VOBs are fine, DVD Shrink (which i actually use to shrink my DVDs to at least 8.5 GB) can even read all of the files, but VLC works only on VIDEO_TS folder on the hard drive, not the burned Disc itself. Hell, Windows doesn't even read it

From what i've experienced, it's probably a drive issue when burning or a hidden problem with the files but i could be wrong

Sounds like the DVD burner is bad. Can another computer or drive read the burned DVD?

Literally what I just mentioned LMAO. I don't have any other windows computers rn but one is coming soon

also while i'm at it, is it possible to encode closed captions (not subtitles) to a dvd vob file?

Maybe the disk isn't finalized.
