Burner Compatability Issues

Possible side-step for people having burner compatability issues with DVDA...

I recently tried burning a DVD using DVD Architect (my burner is NOT on their list) and the discs didn't work. I then tried burning the same files on the same burner using Roxio Easy CD 5 and the DVD plays perfectly now. Not sure how many of you have run into this problem but I thought this might be of some interest.

Yes!

I used DVDA to prepare the DVD, but then actually burned the DVD in RecordNow Max 4.5. The DVD I got plays perfectly in PowerDVD-XP v4 and on my standalone Sony DVP-NS755V - ("perfectly" meaning: Return button works, Title, Chapter, and Time displays work, remaining time works properly).

Also, The same holds true for my Music Compilation DVD. Everything works as it should except in Media Player 9 where it says it can't play because of copyright issues (which may be because the files were reencoded from wma files - I don't know yet). This may be a MS copyguard issue as the same DVD will now play in PowerDVD on the same computer.

So, me thinks that the "burning" software needs work in DVDA for it to work on my WinXP Home PC with a Pioneer A05 (Retail vers of 105) DVD Burner. In the meantime, I will just have to burn in RecordNow Max...
