dvd-r iso image - dvd players struggle to read

[fisherman]

This shouldn't be happening though. You should be able to have ur full dvd with all the extra's.

Yep try a different brand or even borrow 1 dvd of a different brand from a mate if u can, just to try out cause this really shouldn't be happening on multiple .iso's.

make sure youre burning to the right region (r1- us, r2- uk, r3- asia, r4- ?, r5- russia) and make sure youre burning to the right format (ntsc or pal depending on your player/tv)

[djkemp1]

well my player is multi region and can play NTSC or Pal so i don't know why all the players seem to struggle with it its a mystery:-(

[ghost716]

are you sure youre using the right type of media

dvd+r/dvd-r ?

[djkemp1]

i use dvd-r media which is compatible with the majority of dvd players, i tried another one just now with menu etc and it plays fine, but again there is that whirring sound briefly while its loading the root menu, should this happen with a backup dvd, doesn't do it from the original

[fisherman]

Your right dvd-r are most compatible, but no it shouldn't be making any "whirling" noise. It should be the same as the original.

I reckon a different brand of disc in in order ?

[djkemp1]

no luck there unfortunately tried dvd+ and dvd-r discs and both act exactly the same, i still think it must be something wrong with the navigation structure on the iso's?? i can't see it being anything else

[fisherman]

With 1 .iso i'd say yes, but not with many imo.

I'm stumpted now for ideas....

Best thing to do is go here >> www.afterdawn.com

Sign up there and open a thread and I guarentee some of the guy's will get U sorted in no time at all.

A few of my buddies are on there and they specialize in this type of thing.

MODS if there is a prob with me posting the link, which I cannot see, then let me know and I'll remove it.

Let us know how U geton mate and this has my mind messed up too

[djkemp1]

yeah im stumped too, it wouldn't be my burner though would it? i mean if it writes discs etc that play fine on the computer and also on dvd players as long as there is no menus etc.

hmm. well, lets state the obvious here.is your dvd player old? are your DVD's dasmaged in any way? is the iso that you downloaded from the scene or was it uploaded by a random user?
