I am trying to burn some DVD’s (for my own private use, of course). I have used DVD Backup and saved the DVD to my harddisk. I can play back the copy, no problem. I then burnt a copy with Toast Titanium. When I try to play back the burnt DVD on my iMac Superdrive (MAC OS 10.2.3/ Apple DVD 3.2) I get the message : “System error,could not detect a valid media file”. Comparing the extracted Video_TS with the burnt Video_TS, I noticed that 12 out of the 22 files were each 2 K smaller on the burnt Video_TS than on the original extracted one. Trying to play the DVD on my Toshiba DVD-player gives a “Disk-Error” message. According to the manual it is capable of playing DVD-R’s Surprisingly the burnt disk DOES play on my old purple iMac (OS 9.2/ Apple DVD 2.7) with no problems. Where am I going wrong ? Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Nick
Sounds like your doing everything right. I always create a folder, name it what ever the movie is and place the Video_TS folder in it. Then I drag that folder to Toast and burn. The first couple times I tried this, I had used generic data DVD's. None of my players could read the video. When I changed to media capable of video and data, it worked fine.
Thanks mate, that did the trick!!using a pioneer blank DVD and creating the extra folder fixed it. Thanks
