How do I analize a DVD structure and content?

[cbasualdo]

I review the titles of the 755 How-to guides but I didn't find this.
The issue is that sometimes I try to play copied DVDs in my DVD player and it doesn't play. Anothers yes.
So I want to know wich kind of DVDs I can't play. Are NTSC? Are they PAL? Are they DVD-R or DVD+R.

Can anyone suggest a software that can analize the DVD and give me all the information so I can see what's happening?

Thanks in advance.

It looks like you are mixing few things together.
NTSC and PAL are TV standards and it depend where you live for DVD player to play those.
NTSC region player will not play PAL DVD, unless you purchased special player.
If you are in PAL region, you are luckier, because most of those players will play both formats.
DVD-R or DVD+R depend on you, what you purchased at the store.
Some players are more picky at what format they play, but from your post it looks like you are using some cheap blank DVDs to record, that is why sometime they play sometime not.

To check format of DVD file, get GSpot, free software which will tell you all about the file properties.

Well, thank you both for your posts. I understand the difrence between all the things I put like PAL and DVD-R, thanks.
I just tried GSPot but doesn't satisfy me. It tells me my DVD is NTSC , 16:9 aspect ratio and another things but doesn't tell me nothing about de DVD media.
I will try DVDInforpro.

Thanks for your comments !!!!

How-To guides don't explain one very important thing....and that
is that not all media(DVD Blanks) are created equal. Some discs
are just plain junk.

DVDRemake is an excellent tool to analyse (learn, edit etc.) DVD structure, it makes everything visible.
