I downloaded and am using WinAVI and it cut the rendering time by half compared to NeroVision. The discs I make with NeroVision will play in my stand-alone DVD player but the problem is the discs I make with WinAVI will not. They will however play in my PC and my parents’ stand-alone DVD player. So my question is, what could be preventing these discs from being compatible with my DVD player. I’m using the same brand and type media between NeroVision and WinAVI. My WinAVI files look like this:

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB
VTS_01_5.VOB

The files I create with NeroVision include a VIDEO_TS.VOB file. This is the menu file. Could the void of this file make it incompatible with my DVD player?

There a option for the \'target format\'. I can choose from auto, NTSC & PAL. I\'ve always chosen AUTO. Could this play a role?

Yes. 6.3. Def.

Ok here goes. I\'m almost sure I figured out why NeroVision encoded discs will play in my stand-alone DVD player and WinAVI encoded discs will not. I used PlexTools to get in-depth information on the discs I\'ve bunt and NeroVision encodes to MPEG-2 while WinAVI encodes to MPEG-1. The video container file for each have the VOB extension. Now I\'m presuming that some stand-alone DVD players will play both MPEG-1 and M-PEG-2 encoded VOB files whilst others will not, my DVD player being the prime example. So, can you confirm or deny my hypothesis?

This is wiered. In winavi it has a selection for mpeg1 as well vcd. I thought they where 1 and the same???

And WinAVI encodes that to MPEG1? I suggest you mail them at support (at) winavi.com and report the problem.

That\'s WinAVI\"s reply to my email above. I clearly stated in my email to them that the issue was not the media and that I\'ve used the discs with my stand-alone DVD player in the past and it\'s worked without any problems.
