Problem Burning to DVD

Postby Skrasis » Mon Jan 19, 2004 9:16 pm

I have a MPEG-2 AMV that has VBR 6000. The Drive I am using is a LiteOn 8x DVD+-RW. The DVD I am trying to burn to is a DVD-R. The problem comes in when the DVD is finished burning the process goes fine. When I put it into a regular DVD player the disk just keeps spining and stopping and spining again and nothing happens, same thing when put into a PS2. When I put it back into my PC it works fine menus and all.

Is there something with the way that I have converted my .AVI into an MPEG-2? What should the setttings be at? I used TMPGEnc to compress the file.

thanx,

It would help if we knew what program you're using to author the DVD with.

The PS2 is kinda picky, so it either works or it doesn't. Same thing with most DVD players. Since it works in your PC that suggests the DVD burned okay according to desing specifications. Look up your DVD Player and see what kind of discs it should work with and prefers.

I used Sonic's MyDVD it came with the burner we have burned another dvd just fine using that burner and software. We tried it on a seperate standalone DVD player and a PS2 and the problem occured with both players.

Just out of curiosity, did you encode the audio to AC3? Some players are picky about what the audio is encoded in... as far as I know, most players will support AC3 and PCM... but MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio isn't fully supported by many/all players (which is what TMPGEnc will encode the audio into).

I have a feeling he didn't author a DVD but just burn a file on it and expect the player to play it. We will see when he responds.

The audio is compressed in PCM and the media i used was Fujifilm DVD-R I tried to burn it twice with the same result. I know the burner and program work becuase I have burned a successful DVD before the only difference was that I used a DVD+R, im thinking its they way I compress the avi to MPEG-2 but I cannot find what I did that would not make it play on a regular DVD player.

DVD-r and DVD+r have different compatabilties with different players so I would imagine that this is probally your problem.

Also check out the guides on DVD encoding at Doom9.net

http://www.doom9.org

That link --> Guides --> DVD / MiniDVD --> DVD encoding guides


I would direct link to that page but doom9 will redirect you to the main site page after you click one of the links in it so you will have to navigate to the guide like shown...

When I tried to burn the DVD the second time I reused the project file I used the first time. When I tried it a third time I created a whole new project the file and the DVD worked. I suppose I had done something to the project file that would not make it play properly on a regular DVD player. Thank you all for you suggestions.

From http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvd
I assume that you have media that supports both Data and Video right? Surprisingly you can buy spindles that don't.




DVD-R and DVD-RW
DVD-R/W was the first DVD recording format released that was compatible with standalone DVD Players.
DVD-R is a non-rewriteable format and it is compatible with about 92% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD-RW is a rewriteable format and it is compatible with about 76% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD-R/W supports single side 4.7 GB* DVDs(called DVD-5) and double side 9.4 GB* DVDs(called DVD-10).
These formats are supported by DVDForum.

DVD+R and DVD+RW
DVD+R/W has some "better" features than DVD-R/W such as lossless linking and both CAV and CLV writing.
DVD+R is a non-rewritable format and it is compatible with about 87% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD+RW is a rewritable format and is compatible with about 76% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD+R/W supports single side 4.7 GB* DVDs(called DVD-5) and double side 9.4 GB* DVDs(called DVD-10).
These formats are supported by the DVD+RW Alliance.

Sorry if this thread was dying, but I'm curious.

with Tmpge, how would one go about encoding the audio to PCM? My DVD Player handles mpeg-1 layer 2, but I wanna be on the safe side.

well, aside from necroposting with a topic that had nothing at all to do with the original....
I assume you read the guides right?

I already apologized for the 8 day necropost (OMG).

And I should of specified that my post was refering to this post

Just out of curiosity, did you encode the audio to AC3? Some players are picky about what the audio is encoded in... as far as I know, most players will support AC3 and PCM... but MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio isn't fully supported by many/all players (which is what TMPGEnc will encode the audio into).


As for the guides, I've familiarized myself with them along time ago, they only cover the mp2 and mp3 portions of the encoding. AD's guide mentiones PCM but doesn't cover on how to apply it to mpeg2 files when encoding with Tmpge. If it does...and I've happened to overlook it..by all means please correct me.

okay, sorry for the overreaction.

I found this, hope it helps:
You can't multiplex a standard MPEG with wav audio. MPEG video only accepts MPEG audio unless you are creating a DVD and using DVD authoring software.

Next time you encode select CBR MPEG audio in the wizard not PCM, but for now just load the wav into TMPG in the audio field then select audio only then encode.
This will then produce the right audio format and THEN you can multiplex with the video


I also found this thread on the tmpfenc site:
