How to make a DVD that runs easily on TV DVD players *and* computers… help!
okay here’s my deal…
i made a DVD using my Adobe Encore 1.5 and from what *I* can see and test it works fine on my television top DVD player *and* on my computer using suitable DVD playing software (Power DVD). However… I have received complaints from viewers that it won’t play on *their* computers.
Am I missing something here? Is there a special switch or setting to somehow ‘universalize’ my project? From what I remember doing when getting ready to build the disk there weren’t any real usable ‘settings’ that might make a difference. Or, do I need to also burn on a ‘parallel version’ especially applicable to computers..? If so, how do I do that?
Yikes! That’s enough questions already. Anyone have any answers or comments?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jim,
What type of DVD media did you use? I have found that DVD-R is the most compatable to the most viewers.

Media branding can also make a difference. I recently burned 10 DVD on Maxell media to give to my aunt. She could only play half of them, and she tried on 3 diferent makes of DVD players! I burned new copies of what she couldn’t play onto Verbatim -R media, and she had no problems. btw, *all* of the media i burned I tested on my set top DVD player and they worked fine!
