DVD scene selection markers as in comm. DVDs

[Mike Kujbida]

Marc, I burn it as a data disc because the burning software installed on my work machines (custom install by our IT dept.) don’t have a “make/burn DVD” option of any kind.
I’ve never had anyone complain that it doesn’t come up in media players installed on their machines.

Gotcha. Thanks Mike. I had one other strange thing happen last night though. My video is 2 hours long and I decided to try burning it to a Memorex (I know, crappy brand) double layer DVD I had laying around (not the data burn but the regular burn) just to see if there was a difference in quality compared to a regular single layer (the video itself it approx. 8.1 GB). Can’t say I saw much difference in quality with this double layer, but the weird thing is that when I played it back on the TV (46″ plasma), it looked stretched somewhat horizontally, making the characters appear wider, or “squished down” some compared to normal. I first thought that maybe it was a setting on the TV itself, but quickly remembered that previous burns of the video (menu-less, single-layer versions) always displayed properly (16:9). I went back into DVDA and checked the aspect ratio and confirmed 16:9. Any idea why the menu driven 16:9 double layer version would appear extra wide?

Marc.
