It burns fine and works great in my dvd player(sonydvd725pn)  but my computer doesnt recognize the burned disc(memorex dvd-r) at all??

I create home movie DVD\'s using Pinnacle Studio 8, which is an app that creates .vob and .ifo files.  I tried following the \"How to burn a DVD-Video Disc with Nero Burning ROM\" and have the following problems:

1.  I cannot select Joliet.  I am using a Sony DRU-500A burner with firmware 2.0h.  According to the instructions above, it should be checked.  I am unable to select this box with or without media inserted.

2.  I went ahead with trying to burn and get the following error when dragging and dropping the files to the left (to be burned) side:  \"The file E:\\Video_ts\\Vts_01_0.bup could not be read.\"  When I check ok, it does appear that the file is moved to be burned.  But then when I click on burn, I get a \"DVD-Video files compliance test failed.  The resulting DVD-Video might be unplayable.  Do you want to continue?\"

Any ideas on the problems I\'m having?

My problem was that my DVD\'s generated by Studio 8 were creating a corrupt VTS_01_0.bup file. I got around this by copying the original file and renaming it, and then creating my image. Rather than copy from DVD to DVD with mixed results (and 30 minutes), I now burn from an image in only 5 minutes.

What are some of the better authoring programs out there?  I\'ve been considering doing my authoring outside of Studio for some time now.
