    Hi

    I shrunk a DVD9 burnt it and it doesnt want to play on a standalone player(Philips 642).On the computer works fine
    I wasted 6 discs already. :(

    If i put it in philips freezes and plays only the menu
    I tried to reauthor it but no go
    I tried Ifoedit VTS fix.Still nothing
    Plays the menu, i can jump to different chapters but it stalls.
    I can only fast forward
    It started to drive me nuts
    If anyone can give a hint how can i fix it i would really appreciate it

    Thanks

    Wasting six discs 'aint funny at all. What type of media are you using and at what speed are you burning at?

    i used regular 16x DVD Maxell

    And i did it like this:

    mounted the image with Daemon tools
    opened DVD Shrink- opened the image and shrunk it
    Didn't remove anything as it didn't have anything to remove
    Basically it was just the movie no extras no nothing
    It was just too big to fit on a DVD5
    One video stream, 1 audio , 1 subtitle
    I should have bought a DVD9 :( now i regret it, but i don't have the original image anymore as i thought it would work.tested it on the pc went just fine.

    PS: i tried different speeds: 4x 8x 16x

    Are you possibly trying to play a PAL movie on a NTSC dvd player or vice versa? Unless you used some hack to make your dvd player region free, that will be a problem.
