Perhaps all is not lost on the Princo thing - remember I was able to burn one full DVD-5 with a version 1.1 Princo DVD-RW and it is playable on one of my settops. It was my edited work that I could never get to play on settop with these. Now I burn my same edited work on Maxell brand and voila! - am in business. Go figure that. I havent got real technical in the IFO manipulation to offer you any advice on your issue. Will look around and let you know if I see a similar thread. One issue that still remains is the movie I backed up appears stretched vertically. I have read all the other threads relating to this and in every case, the person is re-encoding. I am not. I only use DVDdecryptor and IFOedit and burn movie only. I want every bit of the original resolution on my backup. I have gone back and reburned my work with the movie IF0 tweaked as 16:9 and 4:3 and it doesnt seem to make any difference. Do any of the options for "Automatic Letterbox" , "Pan and Scan", "Letterbox", make any difference? Have you monkeyed around with these or had similar issues and if so, were you able to fix them?
vm, I haven't run into that issue. My Spidey was fullscreen version only. Anyway, my tv is a widescreen so I'm oblivious to the stretched picture. My tv is down until thursday so I won't be able to test any work until then. m
