  • Vegas Render Settings for Best DVD Player Compatibility?

    Posted by Matthew Jeschke on October 28, 2012 at 9:02 pm

    I created a DVD tutorial which I have had a fairly limited distribution of over the past few months.

    Some of the people who received it noted that it had problems playing in certain players.

    Apple Computer – DVD player would only play audio.
    Win DVD – would show video but no audio.

    My aunt has a little handheld DVD player that had difficulty reading it too. I’m not sure what the trouble is.

    When I created the video… I played it back no problem on two different computers (one vista another windows 7) using Windows Media Player. Several other people I know have played it back without issue on cheap standalone DVD players.

    I am wondering if it’s not a codec problem. I had thought I rendered my videos in fairly standard formats (MPEG-2 for video and Dolby Digital for Audio). I created the DVD in DVD Architect as well.

    But that raises the question doesn’t DVDA encode the video / audio to a standard Video DVD format? I’m a little confused.

    Thanks!

    I’m learning the ropes of online publishing. Mostly as an excuse to play with more cameras.

    Here’s several of my latest ventures,

    Unless you really tweaked the template, it’s probably not a DVDA or a codec problem. I have had trouble in the past when I burned the DVD’s to fast, like 20x. Every one I burn now is done no greater than 8x. I have an 11:1 duplicator that I have throttled back to 8x with a read verify. It takes longer but works better. Try re-burning a DVD at a very slow speed, like 4x and see if that does not help your situation.

    Add cheap media to Jeff’s list.
    I prefer Taiyo-Yuden but will use Verbatim if the former isn’t available.
    ImgBurn (it’s free) is my burning software of choice these days.
    Lots of options in a great program.
