I ripped some DVDs with Decrypter and then copied back to disc with Nero (I have Nero Express version 6--updated to latest). I had no problem on my home player with playing the DVD--the Comedy Central them came up and the warning, then the menus. But on a couple of friends DVD players, and one is brand new, the DVD's would only play up to the warning and then would never bring up the menus. Is there something I am missing when I ripped it or perhaps when burnt? I am new to this but wondering if there is some protection setting that the other DVD players are getting. What to look for?
you may be burning to fast or using bad disks 4X burn only use sony verbatim or taiyos dvd players varry in their tolerence to burnt movies
I have been using Ridata, and seem to have very good success. And although my DVD is 16x, and the disks are 8x, I only burn at 4x. Everything comes out very well.
ridata made by ritek are not the best media in my opinion I only use sony verbatim or taiyos all at 4X with no problems
Maybe I need to try another app to author the disk or try burning one at the 2.4x speed on the media. I used Verbatim +R DL's for 2.4x but they were burned at 4x. Perhaps that is my problem??? So you guys know of no protection issues that I overlooked....(i am sure I took all of them off with Decrypter) . Thanks for the input--I will give it another go
I doubt it is protection if it plays on yours but not theirs you could try dvd shrink to reauthor leaving only the main movie I only use verbatim dvd-r and dont have any problems I know that many recomend booktyping dvd+r I dont know much about that Im afraid
It is definately a compatability issue and not a protection issue...take a look at "why can't I watch my movie" in my sig...it will tell you how to booktype using DVD Decrypter.
Well, the more I get into this, the more I learn (and sometimes get confused) but your blog pages spelled out some things nicely! I will attempt the booktype fix as soon as I can and see how that works. Thanks for the insight and keep building that blog! (Thats some good stuff) Now I want to ask you a question (ha!) Trying to build some discs now with parts of vob's from various discs--different vacation videos, etc. Any time soon you will be putting out a blog page on that? I converted a vob--oh well, this is the wrong thread for this.
try pressing the menu button on your dvd player remote. i know it sounds crazy ,but sometimes it works to get past these things.
No, that doesn't sound crazy and I think I tried that, but may not have--good point. Sometimes the obvious IS the solution.
I would build a guide for that process if I had any experience with it, unfortunately I don't. You should be able to capture video in Nero and edit it together with Nero vision.
