OK, here is my experience:
1. build the DVD with .M2V/.AC3 video/audio files
2. not to exceed bit rate of 7000
3. burn w/ good reliable rated burner (search the web for one)
4. use RiData 8x Printable DVD-R (-R seems more reliable, at least to me)
Note: If -R don’t work, use + or – RW, believe it or not, RW works better than just R in DVD world (as compared to CD world).
* Yes, more expensive brand are less tolerable.
** If all else fail, you can have your DVD ‘PRESSED’ by professional media producers, then, they are much more compatible.
