1258539 2012-02-11 00:34:00 I’ve done this before but buggered if I can remember how. :blush:

My brother-in-law recorded a TV documentary in Australia and burnt it to disc for me.

It plays fine with my DVD but is full of Ad’s and Weather forecasts etc. so I copied it to my HDD and edited out the rubbish.

All’s good and the edited version plays good on any computer but not on my DVD. I just get “Disc Error”. I tried burning it as .vob .mpeg4 and .TS but no go! I then gave the three discs to a mate who has two DVD’s, one quite a late model, but no go there either.

However, all three discs are fine on his computers as well as mine.

I know I had the same trouble the last time I tried this but can’t remember how I fixed it.

Anyone jog my memory. :groan:

:thanks

Quickest and easiest way would be to use DVD flick to author it
and make a new disc.

1258541 2012-02-11 01:55:00 What software did you use to edit out the adds and reburn to disk?
The free windows dvd maker is actually pretty good at burning compliant disks, dunno why they hide it - in windows 7 just click start, type dvd maker in the search window, try burning with that.

1258542 2012-02-11 03:27:00 You can't just rename a video as .vob or simply dump data into a TS folder. There's a particular data layout, in addition to the supporting files. You need to pass your video (mpg?) to a DVD Video authoring program (it's possible your DVD burner software already has this capability.

You are NOT trying to burn a data disc... despite the fact that all media simply consist of data - there's a bunch of laws about exactly how that data needs to be presented on the disc, and Video authoring software will sort that out for you.
