DVDs burned in DVD Studio Pro won’t play anywhere

[Shane Ross]

Are you sure you didn’t accidentally use an HD DVD preset?

Don’t believe so. These are the Compressor settings. Don’t know how to alter DVD SP’s settings, so I’m using the defaults.

So, now what did you do for the audio? Did you use the AC3 preset for that?

I did, yes. My settings were shown in the attache picture from my last post on this thread.

Just wanted to make certain you used the AC3 audio preset too, as many think that’s optional, when in fact not using it can make DVDs either unplayable, or virtually so.

So, what type of DVD media did you use? The good stuff, or blank media you bought at Office Depot?

Blank stuff from Wal-mart. Memorex DVD-Rs. “16x, 4.7GB, 120 min”
I’d rather not wait till mornign if I have to, and would rather not spend more than I have to. And this method has worked before, so I don’t know why it isn’t now.

I tried buring the files straight to DVD through Compressor, which DID work. So i’m led to believe that the issue lies in DVD SP and not Compressor. But I don’t believe I’ve changed anything in DVD SP from what I’ve done in the past, so I’m left confused as to what to do.

Be certain your DVD Project in DVD SP is not set to HD DVD. If it is, your disc won’t play anywhere.

Even if your assets are SD, its still possible your project in DVDSP is set for HD DVD.
