Hi all,

I have a problem with viewing any of the DVDs that I have created. I have an AMD 2700+, 160Gb hard drive, 512Mb DDR333 RAM. I am using Pinnacle Studio to capture the video from a DV camera, I then create the DVD interface using Adobe Encore. I select the main menu as the 'first play' and I create the DVD.

When I test the DVD on my computer it works fine, but when I put the DVD into any standalone DVD player it just will not recognise it.

I don't know if it's the media i'm using, or some option with Encore. My DVD player is multiregion and the media I am using is unbranded DVD+R.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Your first step would probably be to check the DVD compatability list over at vcdhelp.com

Thanks for that, I was originally using DVD+R, so I bought some DVD-R media as they are meant to be more compatible with set top DVD players. The DVD now runs and works fine!

One snippet of advice I have to offer is that I have been trying to burn the DVD using Adobe Encore version 1.0, and it kept asking me to insert the next disc even though I chose to make one copy and the size of the project was smaller than the DVD. Because it gave me so much hassle I burned an image of the DVD instead and then took it into Nero 5, I then told Nero to burn the image and it worked successfully. Just a little tip in case other people get the same problems.

Thanks again!

Sim.

Adobe encore....! no luck at all with burning straight to disk, can only create image then use Nero like you say........
I like Adobe encore, but it has some bugs.....
