If you like to use a DVD-R, you may better use cdrecord instead of growisofs in 
order to get compatibility. Growisofs was designed on top of DVD+RW which uses 
something similar to packetwriting.

Use 

mkisofs -i xx.iso -dvd-video -r -J DVD/
cdrecord -v -sao xx.iso

 I burned the DVD as instructed in the second half of step 6 then tried 
 the disc in my player.
 It did not play, the DVD player just ejected the disc.

Did you install cdrkit instead of the official cdrtools?

If you have correct all upercase file names and if you use toe real mkisofs
it should work.

The mkisofs clone genisoimage is know for problems.

Thanks Jorg,

	I updated cdrkit, I was a bit behind. The DVD will now play properly on 
the computer, but not the player. Perhaps my Phillips player does not 
like DVD-R.

A better idea is to update to cdrtools. cdrkit is still 3 years behind cdrtools
and the bug you mentioned has never been in the original software.

Thanks again Jorg,

I removed cdrkit and installed cdrtools.
Same results.

Have Fun,

I had problems with burning DVD-VIDEO to DVD-R too. Now i use DVD+R and 
it works without problems at least at the PC (had no chance to test on 
standalone players yet).


When burning to DVD-R the burn process starts, it burns 1MB or at least 
the progress shows 1MB then it stucks for a few seconds after that the 
burn process resumes and the rest is burned normally.


Regards,

Daniel
