Mr. Weiss,

I am soo very grateful to you.

I doubted the advice you gave had direct relevance to the root of my issue, but after following what you said I now am looking at a working DVD. Thank you.

I set the destination in the preferences into a separate folder on an external drive. Then I went into build and format settings and changed the current project location to the same folder on the external HDD.

Somehow it all worked, I can’t explain it, but I thank you for helping me. I hope to some day reciprocate the assistance in some way.

So i changed the destination. DVDSP is currently burning a copy.

It is great the error message is gone and that it allowed a burn. My fear now is the original problem which is that the DVD will not play in a standard DVD player. As the response I receieved in the KenStone post states the HVDVD_TS is used in HD DVD players and will not work in standard DVD players or Blu-Ray players.

If this burnt copy houses any of the HVDVD_TS folder chances are it wont play on anything but a Mac. That’s what I think.

Thanks for the prompt response.

I made certain to check in the preferences in DVDSP that under the “Project” settings “DVD Standard” was set to “SD DVD”.

Not only that but the error message I am getting from DVDSP specifically says I must get rid of the HVDVD_TS folder in a Standard DVD project.

When the error message says “Standard DVD project” I interpret that as DVDSP acknowledging I am currently working in a SD DVD project. The problem lies in this HVDVD_TS folder which came sometime during compression (I think). The solution is in how I can export my HD project in the timeline so that it creates the Video_TS folder I need to work the project in DVDSP.

I think the issue is in the method used to compress the file. I don’t know

Thank you for the input. I will try these ajustments.

Thanks for the Google, though i already tried this program. The PSP preset created somewhat crappy quality. I am still reading on how to tweak things using this program.

Yeah I tried this program and the quality was not that great. Perhaps I need to spend some time with setting to tweak the quality. The PSP preset is what i used and was pretty dissapointed.
