looping dvd, need help

Sunmaster14 · 28th Feb 2008, 01:08 AM

I read and followed the great article in techarp.com about creating a dvd that loops, and got it created up to a point. I am unable to burn it properly onto my dvd. I tried burning all of the origional file, the video_ts file, and the contents of the video_ts file without a file to put them in. None of these methods worked. My DVD player just keeps saying there is a file error. My computer has a picture on the bottom of it that says Autorun (Not Responding). Could that be why? I am using the same kind of dvd disk that I made my origional on (using Windows Movie Maker). The dvd works great on my computer, but not on a dvd player. Anyone who could help would be appreciated. Thanks

What kind of DVD disc did you use?

Sunmaster14 · 28th Feb 2008, 03:10 AM

Memorex 4xRW DVD+R 4.7 gb 120 minute video. My video is about 8 minutes.

Also, my method of copying the files was done by going into "computer" (using Vista), and drag and save or copy to disk.

Could you link me to the guide you used?

Also, what are the content in your video_ts folder? Make sure that they are DVD-video compliant.

Which software did you use to burn it? Make sure that you are burning it at the rated speed of the DVD.

The article should be this one... Tech ARP - Let's Make Your DVD Go Loop-Loop-Loop by me.

Sunmaster14, some pictures on what you did, and how you did it would be most helpful.

DASHKIN is correct about the guide.
I followed the instructions in the article. The origional I made was on the same kind of disk that the copy was made on, out of the same package of disks. I understand there is a difference between copying files to a disk, and burning them, although I don't understand well. I copyed them with the Windows program (basically "My Computer") that came with my HP Vista computer. I tried Nero, but it doesn't think I am the administrator and won't work to actually burn the disk. As you can tell, I am a newbie. I don't know how to make pictures of what I did. I don't know the speed, since it is a copy. Thanks for your help.

Ahh.. You used a DVD+R disc. Although new DVD players now support both +R and -R, the older DVD players mainly support -R discs. Try writing to a DVD-R disc.

I will see if I can buy one tonight when I go to work and try that.
