Burn thru toast 7 but discs won't play properly on PC's! Help

[mikegtv]

I've built a DVD with slides made into menus with video in DVD Studio Pro 3. I burn the discs thru Toast 7. They play fine on a stand alone DVD player and pretty much OK thru DVD playhback software on a PC. But they do not play well in Windows Media Player. How can I burn DVD's so they will be compatible to play on laptops, desktops and especially WM player? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the client insists on using this playback method. Thanks in advance.

If burned DVD plays fine on standalone DVD player and in Apple DVD player application then all is fine with burned DVD and its fully compatibile with any proper player /standalone, laptops or desktop machines/...However, WIndows Media Player is known to make problems where there is none and therefore either tell your client not to play through wmp cause its a pure garbage of the app or to try to install some older version of it /prior to 11 which is the biggest garbage/.

If client continue to insist to play the DVD through wmp, tell him to contact Micro$oft and make complains to them..

Thanks for your help. You verified what I was thinking. Is that the proper way to burn or should I just build, format and burn everything thru DVD Studio Pro?

Either method is sound, but the way you are doing,
about 50 to 60% of video professionals do it the
way you described in your original post.

it's what I teach....FWTW....;-P
