Hi guys
I'm trying to output to DVD as an MPEG (and actually see an MPEG as the file on the disk), so it can be viewed on a home DVD player (PAL version as I'm in Europe). I've tried various permutations (which is time consuming because of the rendering beforehand) but always end up with an Audio and a Video TS file on the disk, which does not seem to work on all DVD players.
Am I being dense and missing something (or maybe a plug-in?). I've spent hours surfing through these pages, the User's Guide books and the web generally.
I've had multiple capture attempts as AVI, MPeg and DVD and kept their profiles throughout. I've even saved a project as an MPEG and tried to save that to disk but at the end of the project the only output possibility is DVD-Video and I always uncheck the 'Quick-eject' button as the guidance advises to make sure more players can read the file.
Sorry this must be a basic question but I'm new to burning something that is not a basic data file. Any guidance/ thoughts would be very gratefully recieved.
Gra.

If all you want on the DVD is an mpeg file then just use "Share >> Create Video File" to make your mpeg - then close down UVS completely and use Nero, Roxio or whatever you have to simply copy the mpeg to your disc, - only thing is there are very few DVD players that will play a disc like that. The standard for a DVD is to have Video_TS folders and .vob files.

Gra,
If you go through the process of creating a DVD, or Image File to make future copies of a DVD, then you shouldn't need to see the MPEG file as a file on the finished DVD. There is a way to do that but it has nothing to do with watching the finished product on a DVD player.
I have had MPEG files on a CD and was able to play those on my DVD player. I have never tried putting just a plain MPEG file on a DVD because I have always made regular DVDs to play on the DVD player.
Your first paragraph describes what you should have when you finish the DVD. You stated
It could be the media you are using such as +-R or +-RW is not compatible with certain players.

, were you able to see your original video on any player?which does not seem to work on all DVD players.

Home-made (burned) DVDs don't work on all players. DVD-R is the oldest recordable format and it will work on most players. DVD+R works on most players too. Commercial DVDs are not "burned". They are "stamped", and they work on all players.
Commercial DVDs all use the VIDEO_TS / AUDIO_TS format.
See DigitalFAQ.com for more compatibility information.
