So here's the drill. Do not use DVD-RW or DVD+RW media. Let's just forget those.
I try DVD+R and DVD-R and never copy folders like you noted. I used a DVD creation tool like DVD FLICK because only masochists and tech heads make folders and hand craft Video DVDs. Some get upset at that but for me I've hand crafted enough to know that it's not worth it to me.
Again, some players don't support recorded media or is very picky about the + or - DVD media.
A link in case you need to catch up on that at https://www.google.com/#q=dvd+plus+or+minus
There are folk that tell you plus or minus doesn't matter and then you run into players that won't touch one or the other.

Hi,
so I had an .mp4 video that I converted to DVD (.VOB format) using Aimersoft DVD Creator. I then tried burning it to a DVD. I could play this disk on my computer and also on my standard home DVD player and both work, but it would not work in the van (says chapter 1 and no time or anything). I then tried burning the VIDEO_TS folder to disk using imgburn and I get the same problem. I have a previously burned DVD that works in the van, I just don't know what program they used.
Any ideas (could it be the brand of DVD?) I tried writing at the slowest speed as well. We are going to Florida in 2 days and I don't want to have to re-convert all the movies if this is just a burning issue.
Thanks,
Rob
