DVD burns not playing back in DVD player

[fearmyrage]

I am using DVD shrink to rip the disc, and then I open NERO burn DVD video and drag the files from my dvd shrink directory into the VIDEO folder on the DVD burning menu. I burn the disk and It will work in computers but not standealone DVD players. I have burned them at 2x and 4x, I was using some cheapy 4x DVD-R so I tried hp dvd+RW discs and those don't work either. Please help

Hi there

what version of nero are you using?

have u only tested this disc on your own dvd player????

[fearmyrage]

the newest version of nero and i have tried on about 5 diffent players with 2 differnt media formats

Did you make a empty AUDIO_TS folder? Some standalone dvdplayers need that folder.

The easist way is to use NERO EXPRESS. NERO makes the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS for you. Since I use it, no problems at all and all the standalone dvdplayers plays the backups without any problems.

I'm having the same problem. Previous burns worked fine on my stand alone DVD player. My latest attempt has failed a dozen times. I've tried using Ulead, TMPGEnc Author, and DVD Shrink..and burned with Ulead, Roxio and Nero. The results work fine on the PC but I get a No Disc message on my DVD. Could it be DVD Shrink that's the culprit? I compress 5 gb to 4.3...

yes there is an empty audio_ts folder. that and the video folder are both made by nero automatically, adn then i drag my files into the video folder, and burn it. it works perfectly fine in pcs but not it dvd players.

try using image tool classic to create an .iso file from the ripped DVD files, and then burn with nero or DVD decrypter.

I had problems with dvd-r's burnt on nero. CloneDVD can burn end result dvd files even if it did not process them (i.e. processed with DVD Shirnk). 3 coasters in 200 burns. good record!

Does your player support DVD-R? You can't assume it does.

[fearmyrage]

its a dual format drive, it supports them all

[handyguy]

what writer, computer, version of Nero, type of media, etc are you using? giving all your system specs makes things a lot faster for us to answer.

thanks for your help guys, the DVDCLone works for me. I have no idea why nero didn't, but i really don't care right now. thanks
