DVD format on CDR

[groupwriting]

I have created a DVD project in DVD Workshop. I cannot afford to use DVD media to distribute the project. I had planned to put it on CDR as its small and does not need DVD capacity.

It relys on menu layers and other DVD features so SVCD won't do.

While I was testing, I used my Laptop DVD drive to run the project. No bother, happy days. When I started putting it in DVD players, the CDs were rejected and would not play.

I have now had a horrible thought that DVD files on CDR will not run on DVD players. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

you will need to get a dvd burner or re-do the whole project to svcd if you want to keep it on cd's

there is no other choice ..

I've done this with Ulead Video Studio. My set top DVD actually recognized the CD as a DVD, but both sound and video stuttered badly - probably (I later learned) becuse the CD/DVD reader couldn't handle to pull data off the CD at DVD bitrate - As someone pointed out, there's about 12 mins worth of DVD spec bit stream to a CD-R (800MB), and many DVD reader can't handle that from a CD-R
