Sup, I recently downloaded some .AVI videos that i converted to DVD for playing on DVD players. I used TMPGenc 3 authoring program. The dvd worked fine on my DVD player, but i tried it on a friend's DVD player and it didn't accept it because it was backup/copied/homemade type of DVD (not original copy protected DVD). Is there any way that i can make the DVD player play the homemade DVD? Thanks
use dvd flick convrting the file to an ISO using good media like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim burning at a slow rate (4x to 8x max) if your using the DVD plus R format booktype to DVD-ROM or use the DVD dash R fortmat. if they still don't play then the DVD player does not support thoses kind of files in which case he will have to buy one that does
thanks for the reply, but i dont know if you really understood the problem. The DVD player doesn't play backup copies, which means it doesnt play DVDs that arent copy-right protected, like originals. Is there any way i can burn the DVD with some type of copy-right or some way to get the DVD player to play the backup? Thanks again
Most dvd players do not play avi files. Instead the avi files need to be converted to a language that a dvd player understands - that is dvd. So use dvd flick to convert the avi files to dvd files, and then burn the dvd files to a dvd as per the advice Zoso gave you.
Unless your friend has some brand new player with protection mechanism, which I doubt, than any player will play region free DVD. Your only problem could be, like ZoSoIV point out, DVD brand you use. If you still think that your disc need region, than rip your DVD using DVD Decrypter and in Option set region for your rip.
hm, i think there is a little confusion. I downloaded an AVI and converted it and authored it into DVD format with TMPGenc 3 Authoring Program. It is in DVD format with menus and all. This is a video i've downloaded from online, not a backup of an original DVD that i have laying around. My friend that tried to play the movie said he got an error that said something like: "Cannot read disk. No copies." I'm assuming from the message that the DVD player doesn't accept backup/copied DVDs. Does anyone understand my drift? I checked the ISO image mounted on a virtual drive with ANYDVD and heres what it says: Summary for drive I: (AnyDVD 6.1.0.0) Drive (Hardware) Region: 0 (not set!) Media is a Data DVD. Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 1 Total size: 2089370 sectors (4080 MBytes) Video DVD (or CD) label: **** Media is not CSS protected. Video Standard: NTSC Media is region free. RCE protection not found. DVD structure appears to be correct. Structural copy protection not found. Autorun not found on Video DVD. Bad sector protection not found. Emulating RPC-2 drive with region 1! I think it's the player that doesnt let unprotected DVDs play. Is there anything that i can do (burn RCE protection onto the dvd, etc or add region somehow) to make it work on this DVD player?
Allow me to put you straight. First up, if the movie was downloaded from a torrent site in AVI format then that means that the copy protection has already been "broken" and therefore you can make as many copies of it as you like. You dont need to go through the conversion process as you have, NeroVision will convert and burn AVI files just fine. Just think about it, if it were copy protected then it wouldn't be on any torrent sites. As mentioned it's more than likely a Disc format question. Also, as mentioned I have NEVER heard of such a player...and I doubt that one even exists.
What player is that? I understand your problem, but it sounds like total nonsense( not what you are saying, but just the thought of such hardware! It sounds like something Sony would come up with!)If that were actually true, I'd get my money back and buy something else. Maybe is the authoring process. Try and use DVD Flick to create your DVD and burn it with ImgBurn, see if it makes a difference.
I do not use AnyDVD, so I can't check and see how it reads the DVDs, but when I check mine with DVDFab HD Decrypter, it reports as "Video DVD". In your case, AnyDVD reports as "Data DVD". Maybe someone that uses AnyDVD can check and compare? Is it possible that you burned a data DVD instead of a DVD Video? EDIT: NVM, I read the first post again...if it worked on your player but not your friend's player, must be a DVD Video. Was it on DVD-R or DVD+R?
thats is completely not the problem. so get that out of your head. its one of three things 1. the DVD player WILL NOT play burnt DVDs and or the files your transferring to DVD 2. it doesn't like the brand of media your using as said use Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim(which you haven't mentioned what brand of blank media your using?)as said if your using the DVD plus R format booktype to DVD-ROM or use the DVD dash R format. 3. your burning at to fast of a rate as said burn at a slow rate (4x to 8x max) I really get tired of posting CORRECT INFORMATION and new members posting back you don't understand(believe me i understand!) when they haven't even tryed out the info i posted!
