i use dvd decrypter and ifoedit to make the backups i then burn then with nero 5 (the latest version) however they will not play in my wharfdale player!! they play in my pc, my mates ps2 and my girlsfriends standalone which is a cyber home. is it nero? is it my player? can sumone help before i throw the bloody thing out of the window!!! thanks james
Do you know that the player supports DVD-Rs? What settings are you using in Nero? I'd use something else for burning if I were you as Nero has compatibilty issues with some players. You will probably find a setting that will make it work on your player but then they might not work on anything else. Burning in Nero as a UDF data disk (rather than the video DVD) gives the best chance of compatibility but having said that those discs don't work in one of my players.
heres an update i have used dvd decrypter to rip and burn a dvd-5 and it works in my player, so i know that the media is ok ( suprisingly its cheap media that it likes) and if it plays the backup then i know it my player plays dvd-r's now my girlfriends player plays the backups burnt in nero, i have tried every setting udf 1.02, 1.50 joliet checked and unchecked, i have tried burning under the setting udf/iso and dvd-video, will it make a difference just burning as a dvd rom udf? basically i think the fact that nero rearranges the files before it burns is pissing my wharfdale off!! has neone else found this?
"will it make a difference just burning as a dvd rom udf" Yes (which is why I suggested it funnily enough), it's the mode that produces the most compatible DVDs just UDF and 1.02. UDF/ISO is the same as the DVD Video mode Use Prassi or Record Now Max and it will play in anything that plays DVR-Rs
thanks malum was being brain dead earlier when asked about udf/iso mode i havnt got recordnow or prassi, do u know where i can get them, i was supposed to get prassi with my drive
I think that Record Now is the new version of Prassi (someone will correct me if I'm wrong) A legal copy should be available from any decent retailer. If you want a free copy you'll have to search for yourself.
Yes Malum I agree. First I used the DVD-video mode and could only play it on the PS2 and not on 3 other standalone DVD players. Now I use the DVD-ROM UDF/ISO mode (udf 1.02) and they play on the PS2 as well as on those 3 other standalone DVD players. So I stick with this methode !
i have sent you a website address to your private message stating where you can download prassi primo dvd
thanks spike and in reply i have now got stomp but the disks will still not play on my machine, it loads then hangs? gonna try and get prassi now and see if this works neone got any ideas with recordnow?
ok heres the situation now 1, tried with nero wont play on wharfdale but does on ps2 and computer 2, tried with recordnow max, wont play on wharfdale, will play on computer ps2 3, tried with imgtool 0,89 created an image, burnt it with dvd dycrypter, wont play on whafdale, it recognised its a dvd but hangs. wont play on computer!! has neone else found this, i cant understand it now im going mad. here is sum other info, will it make a difference that i used a hack and made my dvd player region free? will it make a difference cutting all but the english streams using ifoedit?
