Issues with slide show and dvd on same disc

Post by illyad »

I have been working with MF4 for 3 years and am quite pleased with the experience until this morning. I have completed a wedding dvd (chaptered with splash pages et al) and it is ready to burn. I have also made a slide show from the still photos of the wedding. I have them both on the MF4 browser and they both play perfectly, however, when I burn them to a dvd-rw
there is nothing on my tv screen and no menu or chapter area? What am I doing wrong? Is it the burn or something else?
TIA

We have absolutely no idea about your system or even the version of Windows you are using. MF4 is now positively ancient in software terms. It might have worked with Windows XP, but if you are now using Vista, let alone Windows 7, you simply cannot expect it to work.

But as I say, I am guessing, since you tell us nothing of relevance except that you are using MF4....

Burn to a hard drive folder and then check it with a software DVD player such as WinDVD, PowerDVD, Nero Showtime etc.
If it works then it shows there is a problem with either your burner or discs or both.
