DVDs burnt in 9.5 won't play

[Ray Lenahan]

I have burnt hundreds of DVD in previous versions of Edius. Now i'm on 9.5. The DVDs seem to be coming out as DATA DVD vs. VIDEO. They won't play in a stand alone DVD. But they play in a computer using VLC...What has changed ? and how to fix it ? player.

Is by any chance your PC auto formatting the DVD's for drag and drop as soon as they are put in?

If you use the burn to disc option in Edius it should create the menu and encode the Video TS files that are required by the player.

As there are no mass shouts about the problem, I guess it's something unique to your setup.

Can you look to see what is on the DVD in Win explorer?

EDIUS uses the Windows burn engine, so some Win update may have caused an issue

always avoid Win for burning, use Nero Burning Rom or Imgburn (free) https://www.videoproductions.com.au/html/imgburn.html

use EDIUS to create the DVD image only

if Pal, make sure you set audio to dolby digital 256, by default EDIUS sets mpeg audio

Edius DVDs still not working in normal players

I tried a new batch of vertatim DVD-r and got the same results burning directly off the timeline.
The DVDs work in a computer with VLC but fail in all my stand alone DVD players. I had success by making a MPEG4 file in Edius ... then imported it into TMPG to be encoded as a DVD complaint file ..then burned a standard DVD in Encore. In the past I have successfully burned thousands of DVD-r directly in Edius but the problems started with version 9.5.....I have edius 8 and 9.5 in the same computer. so...I tried Edius 8. the DVDs failed to play in stand alone players too. This is driving me nuts and costing me $$ and time..The BluRay DVDs made in Edius 9.5 seem to work fine.

If you are burning mp4 to DVD then it has to be a data DVD I think.

I already gave you the guaranteed solution

[Ray Lenahan]

YES your method worked.. I still wonder why my old Edius 8 method worked every time but not Edius 9.5

[Thor]

I have to echo what Anton said. Never fails. Just use Burn to Disc to create the image, and use ImgBurn or Nero. It's couldn't be more simple.

[IVPR]

I agree with Thor and Anton. Set yourself free!

Do you ever wonder why you bother?

[AJL14]

Thor - you said ....."Just use Burn to Disc to create the image......". Why not just use ".......Burn to File......" to create the image, then off to ImageBurn, etc,? Don't have to bother with a disc being verified in the recorder that way. Just an inquiring mind!

Alan, you have to use "Burn to Disc" to access the "Compile disc image to folder", to make the iso to feed to ImgBurn, Nero etc. You are not creating a physical disc assuming you are untick the box.

Gotcha! Thanks. You're right.
