Background....

I was asked to replicate a video DVD by my neighbor.

It's not anything copyright, simply some 60+ yo video
that was converted from the original movie camera.

Having a recently purchased Win/MCE(aka professional)
system, with plenty of CD/DVD gadgetry, I agreed.

I was easily able to replicate the video for computer
viewing. But, the neighbor wanted a TV type DVD
player compatibility, which my copy doesn't have.

This is my first pass at this.... Through further research,
I see the original video is UDF, and my reproduction is
CDFS. I've done some web based reading on this, but
it appears that with Win/XP won't support UDF(??),
at least not for RW.

The blank DVD's purchased for this little project were
Fuji DVD(-RW) 4.7G 2X.

Any suggestions on where I might view/read a tutorial
on this activity?

Thanks - Gary
You should consult the real experts in the media center newsgroup.
Be aware, though, that not all DVD players which are connected to TVs
can read DVD-RW disks.
More such players can read DVD-R disks.

Thanks Jim. My brief review indicates that M.P.W.mov-
iemaker might be a better forum, although I'm not using
MM. At least there seems like a lot of discussions over
there on DVD formats/operation/etc.

Also, your comment on discrepancies among DVD/R
vs. DVD/RW are probably quite accurate. Although
the job only required DVD/R, I purchased RW for
other possible uses.

Thanks again,

Gary


The DVD player that I have connected to my home audio system can read
DVD-R but not DVD-RW. It is an older Sony.

Of course, I spent my time in trying to purchase just the
right blank dvd(R,-RW, +RW, ?x, etc.) to try and supp-
ort the widest range of dvd players. And never gave too
much/any attention to the possibility of a RR vs. RW
discrepancy. There seems to be a lot of pitfalls

Thanks Jim, for the comments.

Gary
