The main problem with burning DVDs and having them work on standard
players, is the burn speed. Fast burns don't always work too well on
standard players, so always pick the slowest burn speed.
Although DVD Studio Pro allows you to set the burn speed, then build
and burn, I've found it to be generally unreliable. I prefer to do it
this way:
1. Build the DVD in DVD Studio Pro, test with the simulate function,
then use the build function to save it as a directory containing
VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directories. Don't burn in DVD Studio Pro,
build the directory structure only.
2. Use FFMPEGX's IMG function to convert the directory into a DVD
image file. I've found FFMPEG to be more stable that DVD Studio Pro,
and there's way more users testing it. You can find the IMG function
inside the Tools tab in FFMPEGX.
3. Use Mac OS X Disk Utility to mount the new image as a disk.
4. Run Apple's DVD Player, open the mounted disk and test it. It is
important to do this step, as you're guaranteeing that the image has
been built correctly. If everything works as expected, then
everything up to this point has worked fine, and you can move on to
the burn.
5. Use Mac OS X Disk Utility to burn the DVD. Make sure you click on
the blue arrow to expand the advanced options, and select the slowest
burn speed. Then burn the DVD.
6. Check the resulting DVD in a standard player. If it doesn't work,
then (depending on why it doesn't work) chances are its still burning
too fast, or you need to try a different DVD format (DVD-R, DVD+R, DL
etc).
Again it is important to do step 4, which will determine whether the
problem is with the DVD file structure or the burn process.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Richard
