    The burned disks that fail on the standalone - do they play ok on the PC.
    I assume that if you are in North America, the disks are NTSC and not PAL.

    The iso that you created (the one you subsequently burned to the disk) does that play ok on the PC?
    If the ImgBurn log for the session shows no problems, then try a different brand of media (Taiyo-Yuden or Verbatim).

    You said you downloaded and burned the iso's to disk. Did you check to see if they are ntsc format? Since you said you are in the uk, you may have to convert them to pal format.

    No atter the iso itself does not play but the origanal file did img burn says there is no problem but i noticed some of the downloads have more folders with them than others would that be a prob?.Because i noticed the ones with more files seem to play and the 1s with less dont ?

    rtm27 yes i downloaded them turned them in to iso then burned them

    The original (downloaded) file that plays ok.
    What type or container is it.
    Drag it into MediaInfo to find out.

    A typical download might be an .avi file around 700MB.

    You still have the iso file (but it doesn't play on the PC) try to open it with DVD Shrink (File > Open Disc Image.
    It should load and play back in the lower window pane.

    It isn't a valid DVD.
    The program that created the ISO messed up.
    Possibly mounting the iso on a Virtual Disk and/or trying to open the DVD disk using IsoBuster might recover the video.
    It's easier downloading the source files and starting from scratch.

    I don't know any way to do it fast.
    DVD Flick or FAVC are both good - and they both include ImgBurn if you want to burn the disk - I would save it to iso or folder format and test it before burning anyway.

    If you are using Imgburn, you simply drag the VIDEO_TS folder onto the window and it does the rest.
