DVD's made w/ Pinnacle 9 are not recognized by DVD players

by dmdyno Dec 2, 2005 1:22PM PST

I have been creating MPEG's w/ video I captured w/ Pinnacle 9. I then create a Video using Pinnacle 9 (i.e. Music Video - clips with music laid over). I then use Pinnacle 9 to create the DVD. I have not found any DVD (stand alone) players that will even recognize the diec.

Contacting Pinnacle support has also been more frustaring as they basically want to re-install and insist that its something wrong with the DVD burning I have (TDK). I have used MPEG 1 & 2 (both Pinnacle states that they support) hell, their software created the MPEG files.

My burner supports bot +/- R formats. I have tried this with the +R format to no avail. Most tech's I talk to state that all new DVD player should play either with no problems.

Does any have any suggestions ? Is anything I've stated above incorrect?

DVD

Since December 2 have you discovered more about the DVD problem? I was confused by the settings/config on the Studio 9, and have been trying to burn a dvd from my edited mpeg movie. Frustrating---have yet to create a dvd. But when I do, I now wonder if it will play?

I've had some luck

I have now been ablve ot get them to play on my stand-alone dvd player. I ended up burning it within Pinacle but used a -R DVD. The +R is a newer technology so I've found and some older dvd player don't recognize them or have problems playing them smoothely. The -R is older technology and I have yet to a dvd player that won't play those. Hope that is useful..
