Help! I have been trying to make a DVD and after spending many hours creating it cannot seem to burn a copy that will run on my DVD players.
I used Philips DVD+RW discs as well as trying Black Diamond DVD+RW, an unknown make of DVD-RW, also an unknown make of DVD+R. I have not succeeded at all. Some attempts will run in my computer DVD player but not in the computer DVD writer it was created on nor will they run on my DVD player or DVD writer attached to my television. The project has a video and a slideshow on but still comes to quite a bit less than 4.7 GB. I am running Windows XP. Each time I try to burn this project it takes more than 2 hours as it writes at x1 and I am beginning to get quite desparate as the project I am trying to burn is actually my granddaughter's christening.
Please can anyone help?

How are you burning to DVD disc?
Try doing this in separate steps.
1) Burn to DVD Folders first (or create a DVD Image file).
2) Separately, bur the DVD Folders (or the image file) to disc
NOTE 1: the actual burning to disc at 1x should only take 1 hour (for DVD5). So is the other hour used to prepare the DVD Folders
NOTE 2: Since you have RW discs, try a small project just to get the hang of it (create a small test project with a 10-minute clip).

Hi,
1. If you have tested your player and proved it plays commercial SVCD/DVDs ok then this tests your cable hookup and basic player functionality as ok.
2. Next, test your homemade DVD. If it doesn'y play, then check to see what you've burned on the disk....ie is it a windows video file instead of an MPEG 2 (for DVD)?
3. Is it an MPEG1 (for SVCD). Some players will play SVCD but not DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW. Some will play DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW but not SVCD.
