Sony: DVD Architect 6.0 – DVD won’t play
Ok, I made a dvd using DVD Architect and the disc won’t start up on dvd players or consoles but the disc will play on computers, what am I doing wrong? Do I use the DVD Scripting to make the dvd boot up or is there something else?

Hi Ron. What template and bit rate did you render the file at and did you change anything in DVD Arch? Maybe the BIT rate is at MAX and a lot of standalone player can’t read it.

Hello and thanks for the reply.
Ok in Optimize Disc window at the bottom left right above the Fit to Disc button is says the default bit rate is 8.000 Mbps and in Project Properties it also says 8.000 Mbps.
Under options –> Preferences –> Burning Tab, under the burning there are render options in the minimum bit rate it says 2,000 Mbps.
What do you mean Template? I haven’t seen anything in the options or in the menu bar. Only thing I can think of you say template is the Themes and if you referring to that then I’m using the default menu they give you when you first start. I changed that menu’s back ground and added 3 buttons Play, Episodes, and Trailers.
I can use my Screen recorder and record my settings it that will help.
By the way I’m using 8.5 Dual Layer disc by Memorex.

Hi Ron. Have you tried to play any Dual layer (8.5 GB ) on the stand alone players?

Yes I have one in my living room that I use to test out the DVDs I make. Every disc I put in the DVD Player that I have made with DVD Architect 6.0 says “Incorrect Disc”

Hi Ron.. What I was trying to say was. Have you ever tired to play someone else’s 8.5GB DVD on your players? I know that yours are not playing but do you have any friend who have 8.5 DL DVD to check that YOUR player can play that type of media. Let me know Regards John

No, I’m pretty much the only one out of the people I know who makes DVDs or uses video editing software.
Heres a link of the dvd I’m working on

Hi Ron, it is possible to try your DVD 8.5 on someone elses DVD player. It just maybe your Stand alone DVD does not like +R or could be a bit fussy. They are threads talking about Memorex being not a good choice and having play problem on some players. As the DVD works on your PC then the Disk must be OK….I assume standard DVDs burnt in Arch work OK on your player?

I think I know why my disc aren’t working right. The discs I’m using is 8.5 DVD+R. Well my laptop burns DVD-R and my Desktop burns DVD+R which is what used to use to burn DVDs all the time before I got my laptop. So I’m going to transfer my DVD project on my desktop and burn the DVD on that to see if that fixes my problem
UPADTE: That was the problem wrong disc type with wrong drive tpye. Makes me feel dumb now since it was something simple and I should have know to check.
Now my next question what burn speed should I use because I burned it at 4X and my console is the only player that can Read/Play it. My desktop burner can burn speed 4X 6X 8X but 4X didn’t work on the dvd player.

Ok new problem DVD will not boot in DVD players but will start fin in consoles. It like I dosen’t have a boot/start up for DVD players.

Hi Ron,,,, Not sure where to go on this as you have tried all the options that I can think of. The burn speed was going to be my last offer. It still could be the media. Can you get a different brand to try?. Have you tried on a neighbours player?
