Dvd issue

[Ann Bens]

Lower the speed of burning, might do the trick.

Other than what Ann recommended, below 7.5 MB/s, my first question would be, why are you using CD burner XP?

If the reason is that Encore doesn’t support your burner, I would recommend creating an image instead and use one of the many DVD image burners.

NO DVD will be 100% compatible, worse with DVD+R than DVD-R, but I have yet to run into issues; the odds are very small, even less with branded players and media.

Alternatively the DVD Recorder that your client using dislikes authored dvds and identifies them as ‘copied’ media and simply wont play them, the older the player the more common this problem is.

Theyve gradually phased it out on newed dvd players cause .. well its a pain in the arse.
But Sony were the worst for that on a lot of their early model recorders and players. (unless of course the disc was burnt ON that particular recorder)

Gotta love sony..

Ask if your client has another player they can try, if the disc worked for you on your systems and not on the DVD player they have, its not the disk (clearly). Thus the player becomes the problem.

Thank you Peter and others.
The issue I fear is not her player as it played other authored DVD’s, however the one I gave her played on her Mac book but not on her player.

I will try burning at lower speed and see if that works.

Forgive me for what appears a little ignorance, but, I am a newb with burning to DVD and if I may have a little critique to the method I am employing to produce the DVD it would be helpful to me.

1/ Capture project to Prem Pro from HDV camera
2/ Edit using prem pro
3/ Export final project via media – format H264 – PAL wide screen High Quality
4/ Once rendered – open encore – import file and create menus – then build DVD
5/ Settings are Format = DVD; output = DVD disc; enable = all regions
6/ Open CD burner XP – copy DVD produced in Encore – then write up to 20 discs at x16 speed.

In answer to the previous poster regarding why use XP burner and not encore – its much much quicker.

Any adivce or critique would be gratefully received -; we all have to learn somewhere and this forum is invaluable for that – so thanks for your time

many thanks

Wow
this all appears really confusing and a rather long winded way to achieve what should really be a simple operation. Downloading upto 5 different programmes to achieve what ??

Is what I’m doing completely wrong ??

As I said I am a newb and the previous link the poster kindly gave me to read has fried my brain !!!!!

Can someone please explain in plain dumb English for me – AND PLEASE FORGIVE MY IGNORANCE

thanks again
Andy

One thing that will speed up your workflow.
After you have the edit done in Premiere, export to “DVD-MPEG2” using Media Encoder (within Premiere).
Author, write an image (ISO) out of Encore; no re-compression necessary.
Burn the disc image with whatever you like. 4x writing speed on a reliable brand (most are re-branded Taiyo Yuden discs) of DVD-R media will increase your odds.

IMO, it doesnt matter what speed you burn a single layer (DL is a completely different story) disc at these days, assuming one uses decent quality discs.

Ive just finished burning 20 single layer DVDs at maximum speed (12x) and didnt have a single fail using verbatim discs.

I strongly believe andrews problem relates to the DVD recorder his client is using, rather than the media hes created the DVDs with.

we have near on 15 DVD players of varying brands and age in our office and its well established that some of the older ones simply will NOT play authored DVDs from encore, nero, or .. well, anything. Yet i can go and put these same discs in any of the computers or other dvd players and they work fine.

To put it simply, if the disc burns successfully, and it plays in 3 out of 4 different DVD drives/players. Then your disc is fine.

Writing speed can be a factor depending on the environment you are burning in. Vibration, shock, dust, computer speed, and of course media can all become issues at higher speed.

I concur with Peter. My older Sony player does not read DVD-R or DVD+R; however, it can read DVD-R/W disks (at least for a few hours from a cold start – then it gets hot and doesn’t like those disks, either). Try that if you want to.
