Hi, I'm really struggling with this whole compatible DVD thing.
For my amateur dramatics group, I have produced a DVD of our show, including menus and all sorts of fun like that. The DVD plays perfectly with "xine dvd://video/dvd". I have burned the DVD in many different ways, such as "growisofs -dvd-compat -dvd-video -Z /dev/scd1 ." and most of the ways I burn it will work perfectly on my panasonic DVD player. However, when I distributed these DVD's to other people, I have received reports that they don't work on Windows machines (they apparently show up as a blank DVD), Mac's (similar I guess - but no detail on that) or some DVD drives (which just refuse to read them). I believe the DVD that was written that works on Linux and my DVD player is using the UDF file system, but several real DVD's I have use iso9660. I tried burning it with iso9660 (actually using gnomebaker) and that fails to play on my DVD player, but it is recognised and can be played by a windows computer. I'm currently using DVD-R disks, which I understood to be more likely compatible with DVD players (although I may have that wrong because http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ suggests that DVD+R disks are more compatible). In case it is useful, I have pasted the output of dvd+rw-mediainfo for one of the burned DVD's at http://pastebin.com/m7479a9c Could anyone suggest how I should be burning these DVD's to ensure they are compatible with both windows and more DVD players?
