First off, yes I am a newbee at this... and I have spent a day or so looking through the other posts to try and find an answer, but alas, I have been unable to get a clear picture of a solution. I own a Karate School, and my students have been after me to produce some training videos for them. I have spent the money on getting: 160Gig HD capture card (Hauppauge WinTV) internal DVD burner (LiteOn 16x) with Nero and Vision Express 2 pack of Phillips DVD+R discs analog cables to bring in old VCR videos Firewire (IEEE 1394) cable for bringing in digital camcorder into my system via onboard IEEE 1394 Pinnacle Studio 9 Plus running an ASUS motherboard (unsure of specs there) Windows XP 512MB Ram NVidia GeForce 4 4800 Here is the rub. I have made several videos, brought them into Pinnacle and edited them accordingly, sent them back out with Pinnacle to the burner... 1-2 hours later, poof, a DVD is born. I take the newly created DVD and play it on my machine, GREAT. I take it to my stand alone DVD player (APEX), GREAT it plays there as well, take it to the stand alone downstairs (TOSHIBA), "disk error"... send it to a student to test on their machines... their home computer - FINE, their DVD player in the car - FINE, their DVD player at home - FINE again. I figure it's a problem with my player downstairs. I send it to another student. DVD player at their home - sometimes yes, sometimes no. Their computer - unable to read codec (windows media player 10). Their computer at work - FINE. Their DVD player at work - FINE. In a nutshell - how does Blockbuster do it? How do they get DVD's to play on every stinking machine you try them on, yet mine are sketchy at best. It is hard to justify getting a student to PAY for a training video, when it may or may not play for them. Is there a solution that I have been unable to locate, or am I justified in being frustrated. Please help if you can, for this just plain stinks. A legit reason to produce a DVD, and nothing but frustrations. Thank you again for the time you put into helping us that come to this forum. -kmkenpo
Well... I'll be honest, I kind'a figured there might be at least a response or two by now. Guess you guys are as busy as i have been trying to get this stuff to work. Please feel free to comment or what solution you can up with, I am really looking to get this project further along, I just don't feel right about releasing DVD's that may or may not play. -kmkenpo
Am I missing something here ? These forums are full of people making suggestions and giving help to each other, yet my question goes unanswered, or at least a small suggestion... guess I made an assumption about how this forum was run. Sorry if I am coming across as bitter, but this is a little frustrating... people ask about unscrupulous projects such as ripping copies of movies, yet I am legitimately trying to put a project together... no one helps, sad. -kmkenpo
