Taking in all the advice- I drug the DVD content into my hard drive, imported it into premiere pro, edited it, imported into encore( not dynamic link) burned the new DVD and it worked just fine.
Thanks, as you can tell I am not well versed in this whole arena. I will try your suggestions. I did rip the DVD into an avi file, edited it, and then sent it to encore, and the same thing happened. The DVD would not play.
