But how does that explain that the wmv file, which I recoded using Nero Vision, isn’t recognized either? I didn’t ever use Encore for that render…

I’ll give it a try though, maybe that DVD was just faulty or something.

Thanks! (BTW, can I also use Nero to burn it?)

It’s only 50-60MB, depending on the transcode settings. I did notice though that when I inspect the backsides of the DVD’s, the amount that has changed color due to the burning process is MUCH more than I had expected, based on the 50/4700 ratio… Does this mean anything?

I have tested the DVD on two PC’s, a Mac, an XBox Classic and the mentioned DVD player. All 4 DVD’s played correctly on both PC’s and on the Mac (although on the latter the colors had become quite darker), but none worked on the XBox and the DVD Player.

I’d highly doubt it that the DVD player isn’t compatible with burned media, because that would make it 100% useless to what it’s meant to be. My xbox also handles burned DVD’s, because I have already been able to playback a couple of DVD’s I burned myself. (And those DVD’s were the earlier named Printable Verbatim DVD-R btw).

I had set the writing speed to 2x, so that can’t be the problem either…

About the disc preview: I have just checked this, and yes, the preview works, but it goes awfully slow, because the rendering of the AE project is quite heavy (and unfortunately I do not have a mac pro or something like that)

Changing the DVD player is not an option, it has worked for other people already so they’re just gonna say it’s my fault.

Isn’t it possible that the problem lies in the transcoding? The fact that only PC’s and Mac have no problems reading it, tells me this might be codec-related? I’m not a pro on DVD authoring though, this is actually the first time I used Encore (I followed a tut on adobe.com)…

Thank you for your help!
