reauthoring

[thebiros]

I have alot of DVD-Rs I recorded on my panasonic dmr-e20 and want to reauthor them so they work on all DVD players can anyone help in the direction of this? what program would I need? what steps do I need to take to reauthor them from a DVD-R that is already finalized with the Panasonic dmr-e20

what format are they on the disc?

If they can be read by a PC DVD drive, You can take the VOB files from the DVD via DVD2AVI (in conjunction TMpgEncPlus) and pull the data from the DVD and re-author them.

I am rather new with all these terms and don't really know what you want as far as what format. I have them on a DVD-R. the only thing I see on the DVD is a VIDEO_TS folder with a bunch of files in it. Can I take any of those files and reauthor them to another DVD that will work in other players. and would it take forever to do a DVD?

Have you tried them in a dvd player already?

[thebiros]

Yes I tried them in other players and have alot of problems! I need to know what program and what steps are needed to make them playable on any player.

What kind of problems are you having. what works and what doesnt work. It isnt as easy as you are trying to make it.

The DVDs I make in the panasonic will not play in other players properly. as you read allot in the forum Panasonic makes them different than other machines. I want to take the DVD I have now and reauthor it with a program then copy it to another DVD so it will work in all players. I have had a few suggestions like the one above that tell me to use TMPGEN to reauthor it. That type of reply seems aweful easy to me but I don't know enough about it. I also would like to know how quick I should be able to do something like this for each DVD.

Thanks, Curt
