I have had troubles with writing DVDs that play on my DVD player. Ulead
Movie Factory Suite 3.5 just gave up completely - it would not write a DVD
at all.
I then tried Nero with an erased DVD, and it worked!! It wrote a DVD which
played on the PC AND on the DVD player. Only about half of the DVD was used
for a movie of 92 minutes. (2.39GB out of 4.38GB) Bit rate was 3382.
So I retried with another erased DVD. This time I changed the menus a bit
and altered the bit rate to 6300 to improve the quality to the maximum
possible - not that it was bad on the previous try. Amount required was
shown as 4.30GB out 4.38GB
After 90 minutes of operation Nero completed the write and ejected the DVD.
It played on the PC fine, BUT NOT ON THE DVD PLAYER.
What am I doing wrong ?
1. Should I leave the bit rate alone? (Are DVD players set to only use
certain bit rates?)
2. Is there some special way of erasing the DVD so that it rewrites
successfully for both uses (PC and DVD player)?
3. Is there some special option of writing the DVD so that it plays on the
DVD player?
I am about to try again. This time I will erase using Nero and start the
write operation again while I go to the shops (which may take about 90
minutes.)
But somehow I doubt it.
I used to believe that if one does the same thing as has been done before,
one would get the same result, whether the right or wrong result.
Now I believe that if you repeat an action, you MAY get the result that you
did before, but the probability is that you won't.
