ducatiboy Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Can you play any copied DVD's? I never tried playing the media center created DVD's. I play copied DVD's in there all the time. It should play DVD's on recordable media. So it's either the media itself, or the way the DVD was authored (by the media center). So make a copy of one of your DVDs on the same brand media, play that. Does that work? If not it's the media. If it plays it might be how media center authors the video. You could take the video files right out of the storage directory and reencode it with TMPGENC and author it with TMPG Author. I really like those for authoring videos.

I really like TMPGENC http://www.tmpgenc.net/en/index.html To convert And I use TMPGENC DVD author http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/tda3.html For authoring dvd's. There are TONS of these out there. Nero does it, I have used Ulead. Check video help and see what the reviews are for each program. hottwhyrd's recommendation is VERY highly rated but I have never used it http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ConvertXtoDVD I will have to try it some time. It's even higher than TMPGENC http://www.videohelp.com/tools/TMPGEnc_DVD_Author hottwhyrd, thanks for the tip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
