Hi, I have an .ISO file that will play using vlc player on my pc, but when I burn it via NERO it will not play on either of my 2 DVD players. I used ANYDVD to see if it has any protection, but it doesnt. Has anyone any ideas as to whats gone wrong? Or have I done something wrong (I'm new to .ISO files) Thanks & Can I wish evertone a happy new Year.
Some players are picky about the media that they will read. You can check yours out at this web site: http://www.dvdplusrw.org/Compatibility.asp?mid=0&sid=2&aid=59 It will tell you which type of media that your players should accept. Cheers.
Sorry. I have used these dvd-r (datawise) ones many times without a problem. Just a bit more info. When I look at the dvd on my pc, there is a VIDEO_TS dir with lots of .bup, .ifo & .vob files in it (all different sizes). When I put it in my dvd player its just shows the message 'NO PLAY' If I put it in mp pc it plays with "VLC media player" but when it says to press buttins on my dvd remote I cant go any further. But I want to play it on the TV anyway so there is no point persuing this as a solution. Having jut read a thread on dvd decrypter I have used this & it says that the ISO is INCOMPLETE, (see below), but I have no idea ho I find out which bit is missing. HP DVD Writer 630c AH02 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-R Disc Information: Status: Incomplete Erasable: No Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 8x Pre-recorded Information: Manufacturer ID: FUJIFILM03 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Book Type: DVD-R Part Version: 5 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified
extract the iso with winrar or isobuster then load to dvd shrink to test its ok and (output as ISO) hit backup and burn with dvd decrypter or imgburn
Hi, Thanks for that. he version of DVD shrink I have will only open IFO files so it refuses to open my ISO file. It says its and invalid file so I guess I'm stuffed.
hi did you extract all the files/folders from inside the iso to a folder on your hard drive??? if not try it then tell us what you got there! dvd shrink can load iso files!!!!!! if files are ok that is. go to: FILE / OPEN DISC IMAGE
oh, no I didnt even know you could extract files out of an ISO file. I will google how to do that and get straight back 2 u. Thanks very much for that info. BRB
ok Im doing that no, but I have wasted 3 blank dvd's already. With on DVD Decrypter telling me that the ISO is INCOMPLETE, is there any way for me to find out which bit is incomplete? Will DVD shrink do that for me? (sorry 2 sound stupid but I'm not too familiar with DVD shrink or DVD formats, but thatns for all your help.
hi, I've done as you said and dvd shrink opens it up ok. I have noticed that there isnt an audio_ts dir like normal, only a video_ts one. Having wasted 3 blank dvd's already do you still think its ok to hit backup and burn with DVD Decrypter? Thanks very much for your assistance.
p.s. Once I have used dvd shrink will it be ok to use NERO to burn it as my DVD Decrypter isnt working correctly now so i need to de & re-install when i can find the cd...
Thanks very much for your help. You have fixed my problem. YOU ARE A STAR. TVM. Happy New Year to You all.....
